so.... who are you liking for president so far?

[Airborne]

Since Ron Paul is effectively out of the race it comes down to two.

Who thinks it will be cut and dry?

What candidate do you think will take the throan this time? Why?

And try to come up with original answers, no bumper sticker slogans please...

[skaraudio]

Romney 12'.

We need someone back in office who knows how a free economy works and how it can slingshot a country in the right direction. I don't understand how people can possibly knock Romney for capitalizing on the American dream and wanting to implement small government; also what our founding fathers wanted.

Michael savage as my write in candidate.

[Mario928]

We need someone who isn't in bed with a political group or special interest groups. The free market is important but its not the only thing that keeps us ahead of everyone else. Hiring a business man to run a country is never a good idea because they will focus on money and forget about everything else. it takes more than a millionaire who will take care of his own (rich folk) to get us back on track. The people themselves need to want it and need to decide who they want representing them based on what's good for the nation and not just themselves.

People are ignorant and short sided, they all see something shiney and it.turns into the most important holy shit this has to be fixed situation and everything else is unimportant.

That may be true. But in this case the economy is far and away more important than any other issue.

[Airborne]

The economy is always a big deal, but there are so many other things to consider. Can't focus all the guns on the same position, you end up being attacked from all other sides. We need a president who can see real threats, not just the ones the radio and tv tell us to focus on...

[TeamHT]

Very true ^

My thing is this...between the deficit increase by Obama, and Romney's experience in the private sector...what are their plans to change the economy? Everyone always says economy, economy, economy but I have yet to hear a complete and legitimate plan of strategy to bring down our debt and strengthen the economy.

Don't be fooled by a tool who made over 40 million in the last two years, with no job, and pays less taxes than 98% of the members on this forum.

well.. this will be my first time voting in a presidential election, and i think Mitt will get my vote. Mainly becuase he isnt obama. Somone has to win.. and id rather it not be Obama so im going with Mitt haha

That, and lots of issues that i cant type out becuase id be here forever typing

[Jared420]

more need to read it. And alot of you need to share it because there is still a ton of military and non military alike who still support some one who is destroying our country

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

If ANY of you have ever took that oath, then you understand we NEED to vote obama out, going against the constitution states in OUR oath that we need to DEFEND the constitution, we NEED to stand up RIGHT NOW and DEFEND it, before its SO FAR GONE that we cannot do anything about it.

- Derrick Corne

obama is going against our constitution, even saying its basically worthless...

if you swore this oath, like i did, you know what we need to do to him...

constitution first, president second, and it seems no one is there to defend the constitution which is sad....

edit

and i dont care what the fuck bush did, i was to young to vote for him when he became president the first and second term, so that shit is irrelevant

It may sound like I am on his side with all these questions but I am really just trying to see what facts cause people to say he destroyed our country or flat out went against our constitution.

I have been voting since 1994, I have never just voted for a party or idea. I get as much FACT as I can, decide if I think we would be better off and go from there.

People who hold the party line are killing our republic. Period.

that wasnt just directed towards you LOL, it was to every military personnel that i know.. because i have a ton of friends from my past deployment who support him

I never said I was a full on supporter but I am fair in my assessment. As far as presidents go you will never have one who you fully agree with. They have more to deal with than just the things you and I think are most important. They have Congress, the Senate, whacko ass leaders of other countries, our so-called allies, our so-called enemies etc.

But really, what part of the constitution did he shit on and violate out right?

the part in the NDAA that he decided to let stay in, instead of standing up and saying no, it shouldnt be in there.

where they can legally detain american citizens forever, without trial, with out proof of anything.

The NDAA's military detention provisions thus represent a frontal attack on the Fifth Amendment (which once guaranteed due process) and the Sixth Amendment (which once ensured the rights to trial, access to counsel and an opportunity to confront accusers)

and

FIFTH AMENDMENT

AMENDMENT V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Agenda 21 is trying to convert 50% of america to wooded lands, and those who are in the 50% will be forcibly moved to a sustainable environment.

Gotta love the hardcore Obama lovers who defend him without any info. Then when they ask for a reason or proof and are given it then they just disappear.... Obama has done a couple good things but the bad far outweighs the good for me. I can't stand close minded people who stick to a party just to stick with the party and won't listen to another side just because it's a different party. There shouldnt even be titles. Just candidates with views. My vote will go to Romney because Obama did not prove himself to me enough to deserve a second term, give someone else a shot who has more experience with success in a business background. In case you Obama lovers didn't realize he put us so much more in debt(highest national debt EVER , by far) we should probably try someone out who knows a thing or two about making money. Although my vote is irrelevant anyway since massachusetts is a democratically dominated state who won't listen to any other views because they aren't titled democrat.
