Romney horrified me.. I swear he would have attacked Iran for no reason--- Iran could have been a country full of nuns, but because Israel hates them, Romney would have pounced. Just scary.
I also was fearful Romney would rid of planned parenthood. It provides medical treatment to uninsured women. Ppl just think "Abortion" when they hear planned parenthood and nothing else. I want those ppl to walk into one and see the services that are provided. In a country where Viagra is covered by insurance, but birth control is considered controversial--we NEED planned parenthood.

Also, too, I think that all elected offices should come with term limits--there's something amiss when the highest office of our nation, the Presidency, has a 4 year term, yet one can make a lifelong career out of being a Mayor, a Senator or Supreme Court Justice.
That's why a lot of ppl voted for Obama the first time - even Republicans. Choosing that airhead as VP was McCains first mistake and it prevented him from becoming prez. Ppl recall that old saw "a heartbeat away from the presidency" look at McCain's old heart and it was scary.wants2laugh wrote: ...The first time I voted for Obama because there was NO WAY I wanted Sarah Palin ANYWHERE even close to Pennsylvania avenue...

This time it was really a case of going with the lesser of the two evils, as opposed to voting for the guy who I thought would be great. And like most two term presidents, I suspect that 6 months from now Obama's approval rating will be at an all time low. I'm also worried that after two terms of him, our next president will be a Republican.

Obama is infinitely the lesser of two evils when it comes to Romney, but I don't think his Presidency was that bad. Yes, he had some missteps, but look at the mess he had to try to clean up.
Anyway, I predict the next President will be a Democrat. The Republican simply cannot get it together and the face of America is changing. We shall see what happens.
I will never get the mother in this post. Why would someone vote against their own best interests? In the end what is good for me is good for others like me.So Mom is a little depressed this morning...

Her guy lost last night. I tried to cheer her up by reminding her that without Obamacare she probably would not be able to get the supplemental insurance she needs for her cancer treatments not covered by Medicare, currently running well over $2,000 a month. I am an evil daughter
Alan Smithee wrote:Politics has been broken for a long time in this country and the biggest cause is the obscene amounts of money that special interest groups (conservative and liberal) are allowed to use tobuydonate to politicians. Essentially, we don't really have elections anymore. We have auctions. It might not solve all of our ills and it will never happen but if I were ever dictator for a day, the first thing I would probably do is amend the U.S. Constitution to require all elections for public office be funded only with public money. It could be done. No one has to spend $20+ million for a seat in the U.S. Senate that pays $174,000 per year. The second thing I would do is prohibit ex-legislators from becoming lobbyists for at least 10 years after they left office. Hell...maybe for life.
