You obviously can't trust what they say otherwise things would be WAY different right now seeing the difference in the Obama campaign promises of 2008 and reality. If you like what Obama has done or not done then vote for him because it's going to be more of the same. <br /><br />If you look at Romney's record as governor and you see that his policies and the things he did there were hurtful to poor people and women or to the economy then don't vote for him. <br /><br />Since Obama has said that he will work around congress instead of with them I doubt much will get done. Hopefully the economy will get better despite Obama's constant threats to raise taxes on job creators, his lack of trade agreements (that's a big deal for me since I majored in internatl economics & internatl commerce), and ever increasing debt (he said he was going to cut it in half last time when I was really worried about it so I'm not holding my breath this time around).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943458335062254334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989586293877971034.post-19295883113910461092012-09-19T21:14:24.253-05:002012-09-19T21:14:24.253-05:00Enjoyed your commentary.

That is one news source I can trust -- probably the only one. <br /><br />Romney is not in touch with the common man. He has not lived life as most of us experience it and therefore, in my opinion, is totally unqualified to represent the masses. <br /><br />As for the Republican Party, they protect the rich, their foreign policy is hawkish and they have little regard for civil rights -- three things I vehemently oppose.<br /><br />When in doubt, mark the box that says "D" after the name of the person running for office. That's what Great Grandfather Petersen was told to do by the brethren and I am one (in the minority I suppose) of his posterity that follows suit.<br /><br />Love, PaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444160462597747665noreply@blogger.com
