[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in my late 20s. I'm smart, keep up with current events, can hold my own in a discussion. But for some reason, I am terrified to cast a vote in the upcoming election. I know I must do so, but frankly, I can see no good outcome. Obama is probably the better choice, but honestly, he hasn't impressed me and I'm not sure where the next 4 years will take us. But surely Romney can't be better? I've never been so paralyzed when it came to making this decision before. Probably because in my first election, I was just parroting my parents and peers and voted Bush (grew up in a red state) and in the next 2, he/his party was so obviously the poor choice that voting against him was easy. Is this just part of getting older and realizing there's so much I DON'T know, or is the upcoming election really as indecisive as it is for me? I happily voted Obama in 2008, but I can't cast my ballot for him quite so easily this time. But I also have a lot of misgivings about Romney. [/quote]

I'm 40 and right there with you. In my 20s I pretty much voted Democrat accross the board. In my 30s it varied based on Congressional, Senatorial candidates, etc and by the end of my 30s I don't think any political party describes where I stand. I will vote, but I feel that Obama is taking us down the wrong road and I'm ready for change, but don't think that Romney is the change I'm looking for. I fear for our country with the rising debt, decreasing military, countless people who are unemployed, rising food prices and health care changes that are scaring doctors away in droves. There is a better way to make sure everyone has access to good healthcare, there must be.

Oh and a great big fuck you to Obama for not doing more to protect us from the great unknown GMOs and for not doing more to ensure the safety of our food supply. I would have expected most republicans to look the other, but a democrat, let alone Obama? C'mon? Let me guess...he'll do more if we give him a 2nd term right?[/quote]

Do you sincerely believe that Romney, if elected will address GMOs?  Will he help the healthcare situation?  Is he supportive of the poor and middle class, who dominate this country? Would he add to the problem or is he part of the solution,? If you are honest with yourself, no, Obama is far from perfect, but if you think things suck now, they will be far worse with Romney in office.
