Romney/Ryan.

I can not in good conscience, vote for Obama, and I didn't the first time. And to have a VP that thinks everything is a joke.....do I look like I am laughing? Do you think this is funny? Because, I assure you, it is not! People's lives and wellbeing is at stake, here! As much as I believe everyone should have health care, the reality is, is not everyone is going to have health care! If you don't have health care, you will be forced to buy it, or to pay a fine. If you can't afford health insurance, and can't pay the fine, what then? Jail time? Where is your choice? I thought this was land of the free, where we are free to choose? The ACA is not all its cracked up to be. If it was, why didn't it get passed when Hillary Clinton brought up the idea? Why was she paid hush money not to say anything? Tell my elderly patients that their families are going to be ok, and that medicaid, medicare, and SS will be there for them. If it's going to go bankrupt by 2030 like they say, I want the money I have paid into it, back, and I will manage my money myself, because obviously the government can't do it! I don't want my kids saddled with trillions of dollars in debt because someone can't manage their money right! It's great that he wants to make college more affordable, but, my tuition just went up. My student loan interest did not go down, and I am not at equal pay with my male coworkers! I am glad Mrs. Obama wants our kids to eat healthier, but by cutting calories when most kids that play sports are starving at the end of the day? Or to have homemade lunches taken away because, someone else doesn't get to eat as good as you do? What happened to the right to CHOOSE? Why do I have to pay for your birth control, and your irresposibility? I have four children, and did not ask you to pay for my birth control, or my hospital bills!

Now, before you go bashing me about having compassion, I assure you, I do. However, I was raised to work for what I have, because no one needs to give me anything. I have a hard enough time asking for help as it is, because I want to do it myself, but, by all means, don't expacet me to give of mine if you won't pull your weight! But, if you want half of my paycheck, come to work with me and EARN it!

Obama here. My reasons are mine, but I do pray for the future president either way. It's not a job I'd want!

In addition with the help of the Obama administration I am attending nursing school fully paid for. Whereas Romney does not believe in the government funding the education. i'm sorry but not everyone has $100,00 just lying around in swiss bank acct

How are you getting your education free when I have loans and grants for mine? Not to mention I am working full time and paying taxes? Does Obama have money in a Swiss bank account? Why can't I have a free cell phone? And, with your free education, you are welcome. Our tax dollars are paying for you. Use it wisely!

Yes, I heard a lot of people did nOT like "him" in MA. I never really knew why and should probably look it up.

Really? Over 50% of the people that live there liked his "Romney-care" If you research the two plans, they are extremely similar.

It has already been confirmed that the house senates whom majority are republican purposefully denied majority of Obama bills to make it look like he has done nothing for the economy n to make sure he is no re-elected. Not only do we need to vote for Obama but also the senates need to be democrats. It's quite sad that it had came to this. Let's not look at the color of skin. Yes are partially agree this election is race related. Esp when Romney released a commercial in Ohio persuading blacks to vote republicans because Lincoln freed the slaves. Insulting and disrespectful to blacks

Ah, no, I don't need to vote for Obama. We don't need to be told who we should vote for. That's why we have the freedom to choose, right? It is race related, and always will be, until people stop looking at the color of skin. We have a democratic controlled house and senate, so how can republicans purposefully deny bills? Where's your proof? All Obama has to do is use executive privilege, and he can pass anything he wants. I don't know about you, but my income was cut in half because of the economy. I would like a link to the commercial if you have it, because I have not seen it!
