Neither of the two realistic options in November are exactly palatable, regardless of which positions you switch.
I'd prefer not to have another four years of Obama. Romney hasn't indicated he has one single idea other than not being Obama (not altogether bad, but is this really the best the GOP has to offer?!).
If you think that then you really aren't listening.
- Cut taxes on business
- Slash regulations that are overwhelming small business people and stifling growth.
- Measures to repatriate corporate profits stuck over seas
- Get tough on China
- Unleash US energy exploration and development.
- Lower capital gains tax
- kill obama care.
That's just a short list off the top of my head. With that list of goals, you will see a major resurgence in the private sector the moment he's declared the winner. Employment will come roaring back. Billions of dollars being held in coffers by corporations because of their fear and uncertainty of how Obama's current initiative will impact them, and what he has up his sleeve for attacking them next, will start to get invested in growth opportunities. The newly surging economy will produce a spike in tax revenue inflow, which will help lower the runaway deficit.
The contrast this election between the courses these two men want to take is could not be more striking, or crucial.
Well off the top of your head I can tell you that Romney has already said that he would keep the big parts of Obamacare in place.
Don't forget Obamacare is just a watered down version of Romneycare, which he made law in MA.
And at least two of your points are the same thing. Possibly three or even 4.
Let me answer your question with a question:
Would you rather lose your 2A rights or the country?
Given Obozo's performance the last 3 1/2 years it is clear he does not hold America's being a global power economically, militarily, spiritually or any other way in high regards.
Four more years of his policies and this country will be reduced to a has been. We will become Greece/Italy.
Is that worth keeping the 2A rights of individuals as we know?
Even though Romney is far from a Reaganesque individual I believe he has the best interest of the country in mind.
Become the global example that we once were and sacrifice traditional 2A or become a second rate country and keep the 2a?
Crummy choice to make.

Bravo, BP, you've framed the question perfectly. Luckily, it's a choice we don't really have to make, but there is a point to this thread.
Our country is at a crossroad. Too many voters are prioritizing smaller personal pet issues that benefit them, over the big picture issues that will determine the fate of the country. If the country falls, all the personal pet issues will suffer and fall along with it.
This thread was meant to give us a taste of having to sacrifice and put country first, in front of self. It's a choice many are going to have to face and take the high road on if we're to save ourselves. Especially true when half the country is not paying taxes, becoming more and more dependent on the crumbs thrown to them by a government seeking to enslave them.
Romney.

Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
I could not agree more.
Some things in this world are greater than the individuals needs and this election is one.
The "liberal" crowd really needs to think of something other than themselves.
I think we would be wise to realize our 2A rights will change regardless of who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania in January.
In what context and to which degree is the question.
