The sad truth here is that people vote selfishly, without a global perspective. If the vote was about getting the person best suited to get this country back on the right track, to improve the job situation and the economy as a whole, to reduce the insurmountable debt we carry (and the inevitable consequences), to regain our position as a global superpower, to once again demonstrate that we are clearly against terrorism (and not apologize for it), then there would be no question of Romney winning.
Unfortunately, about half of the country only cares about getting more for themselves. More handouts, more services, more “free stuff”. These people don’t seem to understand that these funds have to come from somewhere (i.e. taxpayers) and with the way things are going, the number of people contributing to the pool is shrinking. A case in point, there was a woman on the radio last week who got a free cellphone and was saying “Obama gave me a free phone!!! I love Obama”. The problem is that Obama didn’t give her anything, I (and other taxpayers) GAVE IT to her – Obama TOOK IT FROM ME, and he intends on taking more and more until once of two things happens – I move away or I stop working and start taking. Anyone who manages a household knows it is impossible to keep up.
I don’t think that it is even worth mentioning his foreign policy, which not only makes America look weak and impotent but is detrimental to the existence of Israel and the millions of Jews living there. I don’t care if you believe in the state, you can at least agree that millions of Jewish people will lose their lives if Iran gets its way. Surely that still means something.
I just hope that enough people gain the clarity necessary to make the right choice in november
