Personal reform
Warmongering welfare state? LOL.
The best reason to not vote for Ron Paul is because of his agenda.
Yes, let's make the public school system even worse. Let's let social darwinism play out - the poor can die in the streets if they can't find a job that will afford them the ability to buy into an insurance plan. Trust in Jesus Christ and the free market. That's basically Ron Paul's whole schtick. If the rich keep getting richer, it's because they're awesome and they'll eventually throw everyone else a bone - as opposed to hoarding all their cash while skimping on payroll and benefits.
Whatever, my bank account grows with Ron and shrinks with Obama. I should be voting for Ron, right? Vote for the Ron Paul oligarchy.

Only 63 broken promises. Most of them to do with earmarking for things he believes needs funding, but we cannot afford to fund right now. He was stalled on 67 promises he tried to keep but was swatted down with. What is impressive is that he's kept 168 promises and has passed timed legislature on another 156 promises. If you count his compromises as political victories, he has an AMAZING record. If not, he's still either kept of started the ball with 64% of EVERYTHING he has promised.
I want the person who supports most of what I believe in and that is Ron Paul. He shares in my view of a limited federal government that operates under the laws of the constitution and not the political flavor of the month.
As far as obama I see no ideological difference between him and FDR and Wilson. These people are Fascist and these ideas have already been destorying our nation for almost 100 years. Continuing it will only make things worse.

I like what Ron Paul has to offer, and I also hate getting into political debates, but to sit on your computer and believe that Obama is actually doing something positive or constructive or has a 'plan' is just ignoring the world around them.
These are the words you wish you wrote down.
Since Obama's inauguration our national debt has gone up 10 TRILLION dollars.
Since George Bush (Jr.) was in office, 8 years for those who don't know.. national debt went up almost 5 trillion.
Obama may be trying to change things, but he's only making them worse.
'nuff said.

SOME PAIN
If it wasn't for social programs, like welfare, and medicaid, I'd probably be homeless, or working at McDonald's with no health insurance. And If I didn't have health issuance, I'd be dead, I'm pretty certain about that. That's why I want universal health care, people get sick, good people get sick, why let them die? No one should have to choose between paying rent, and paying medical bills.
I, however, was able to get up again, and attend a large four year university. I have a 4.0 average. I never was on welfare because I was lazy, or I did crazy drugs. It's because bad things happen to good people. The question is let those people die? Let those people get lost in the system?
I HATE people who abuse welfare, like fat hos who have more children then they can afford just for more welfare. Or lazy people who sit on their ass smoking crack from welfare money. I personally want to slit all their throats, and feed their corpses to pigs. I think you should be drug tested before you receive money, and I believe that there should be a limit on welfare money that doesn't depend on the amount of children you have. I also think there should be a reasonable time limit to stay on welfare, only wavered if you can prove you need more time to get back up on your feet again, and you have EARNED that extra time.
I do have some classical liberal ideology, and I will admit Ron Paul has good ideas. But there's a very BIG difference between what sounds good and looks good in your head, and what is actually practical. I think if corporations were given free range, they would NOT do the right thing. I think they would become more greedy then they ever have been.
Also as woman who identifies as bisexual, I'm at a loss for getting a job, and keeping a job, if corporations don't support equal rights. Last month I was in Washington DC lobbying for several bills. ENDA, and The payment fairness act, along with others, but these are most relevant. ENDA would make it so gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders could be protected from discrimination in the workplace. Payment fairness act would ensure equal pay for equal work. Woman make far less than men do in the workplace, and it's complete bullshit. I wish I could make a man into a woman, only for a day. I'd set him up with a job interview. Then turn him back into a man, have him interview for the same job,and see how different the experience was.
I'm VERY intimidating. I'm loud, I am demanding, I demand respect, and when I walk in the room I make it known. I'm highly opinionated, and I don't back down. It also helps I'm almost six feet tall. Plus I belch like a truck driver, which my dad screams at me for not being 'lady like'. None of these things is what is expected from a woman. But that's me. That's a turn off for a lot of men, and employers. Why? Because we have such set-in-stone-ideas of what woman, AND men are "supposed" to behave like.
Why would I vote for Obama because as a minority, and a woman, he does what's in my best interest. I also believe everyone deserves a fair playing field.
/end rant
Most of the debt Obama had to put the U.S. into was to save the declining economy BECAUSE of the 8 years of rampant stupidity.
Anyways, in my opinion Obama has us on the right track and he'll be getting my vote. People expected change to happen instantly, but he had to do so much damage control it was ridiculous. If Obama doesn't win, I truly hope that Ron Paul gets elected, because if Mitt Romney wins...I'm moving to Canada.
Less regulation for corporations? Mhmm even more insect filth that's allowed into my food: http://www.fda.gov/food/guidancecomp.../ucm056174.htm
