The big year is here and election time will be here in no time. Current President, Obama is going to be up against Mr. Mitt Romney. Now I know religion has to do a lot with people’s votes. Mr. Obama is, as he claims, a Christian. Mr. Romney is a Mormon. I won’t be a bigot here, and hope no one else will be, but I’m not a fan of Romney’s religion. Although, Obama says he IS a Christian… but Obama has been the biggest supporter of abortion. Now, there are a lot of things wrong with Obama but, like I said, I won’t be a bigot about it. Being President is hard and you can’t please everyone. I think Obama and all the other Presidents are just all striving for that middle ground. But, I’d like to know everyone’s stand on who they like and why. So… to conclude this, who will you be voting for and why?

In reply to gilliam.

I think that Obama is trying to find a way to make people believe that Romney is evil. If I were Romney and he was actually attacking Obama then I would stop. I mean, who would ever attack the president like that? If Romney has a good background… good for him.

I would happily vote for an atheist who was pro life, pro family, pro business, upheld the Constitution, and could provide the leadership necessary for a bright future for our children and grandchildren. It would certainly help if this candidate would secure the border, balance the federal budget, and reform health care costs and services from a doctor/patient persepctive.

Even if that atheist were a Democrat. 😃
 
Mr. Obama is, as he claims, a Christian. Mr. Romney is a Mormon.

Mr Romney would claim to be a Christian too.

As a Catholic who has been told I’m therefore not a Christian, I’m personally willing to grant him that, though I’m guessing I’ll get blasted for it 🤷

I’m happily voting Mitt Romney for these reasons.
  • He supports the XL Keystone Pipeline
  • He does not engage in class warfare
  • He wants to cut taxes
  • He wants to balance the deficit
  • He wants to end China’s currency manipulation
  • He supports a strong military
  • He is pro-Life
  • He is for a much more sane policy in regards to welfare
  • He supports strengthening Social Security
  • He supports strengthening Medicare
  • He has a great record at Bain Capital
  • He will position America’s economy to grow from the Private sector and not Public
  • He is not a green-nut
  • He believes in Freedom
That and Obama has been an absolute disaster for this country, but most importantly

Mitt Romney says he will repeal Obamacare/tax 👍
 
If Obama instituted a conscience objection for the employers on Obamacare, I’d be happy with that. Mandating basic health insurance was a good idea when Gingrich supported it it was a good idea when Romney supported it, and it’s still a good idea.

I think Obama’s slightly better on the tax front. Anyone who tells you we can afford a tax it is lying.
Obama will take a more Catholic stand on immigration and the poor.
I think Romney would do better with the economy. If nothing else, businesses will trust him more, and that could get things moving.
Romney would reinstitute the Mexico City policy. I trust him more on moral issues.
So far, Obama has been running a cleaner campaign.

I’m leaning toward Romney, but we’ll see.

Obama gets personal on Planned Parenthood
President Barack Obama got personal with his stump speech Tuesday.
Click to expand...
“Mr. Romney wants to get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood. I think that’s a bad idea,” Obama said to about 950 donors at the Oregon Convention Center as he highlighted differences with Mitt Romney. “I’ve got two daughters. I want them to control their own health care choices”

The president attacked Romney on a broad range of other policy points too. “On almost every issue there’s a contrast,” the president said before turning to his decision on gays in the military

“I believe we did the right thing in ending ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’” Obama said. “I believe that fairness is a hallmark of this country. Mr. Romney disagrees when it comes to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. But we’re not going backwards. We’re going forward.”

Like his other stops on this week’s campaign trip to California and Washington State, Obama’s visit to deep blue Oregon wasn’t about trying to convert voters. This trip is about raising money from an active Democratic base that includes technology, venture capital and business executives

About 200 people are expected later Tuesday night in the Seattle suburbs at a $5,000-per-plate dinner at the home of Jim Sinegal, the co-founder of Costco. He’ll also attend another fundraising roundtable with 20 people at $35,800 per ticket
Click to expand...
Obama also continued swinging at Romney for taking his words out of context on a now-infamous quote involving business owners building their businesses without government help
Click to expand...
“He’s been twisting my words around to suggest I don’t value small business,” Obama said. “Now keep in mind in politics you’ve got to endure a certain amount of spin. Everybody does it. I understand it. Those are the games in campaigns. Although I have to say when people omit entire sentences from a speech, they start splicing and dicing, they may have tipped a little bit over their skis”

Obama’s stop in the Rose City Tuesday was for a pair of fundraising events: a roundtable with about 25 people with $30,000 individual tickets and a $500 admission for his speech

Gross. How any Catholic still defend supporting Obama? If Obama wants to give people choice for their health care then he should never have proposed ObamaTax
 
I notice that one can vote for both candidates. Will that be a new option this November?😃

Ditto! 👍 I would also add that Romney supports traditional marriage.

I did not vote for pro-abortion Obama the first time…and I will not in November.

Romney since he is the person who will do the most to stop abortions in this country who is running in one of the two main parties.
 
I am going to hold my nose and vote for Romney, because Obama is the worst President I have even personally experienced in my life.
