You realize he's written books on the economy, and has a pretty good grasp of it.

What is so great about occupying countries and killing innocent woman and children? Don't say terrorists, because it has always been the USA putting people in power in the middle east and it was the USA that created the mujahedins. Even if real "terrorists" wanted to kill Americans its because USA is there occupying their land. Just as you would be pissed if the Germans or whoever occupied Canada and bombed you 24/7 for 10 years. USA is responsible for putting Saddam, Musharik, Gaddafi, etc... in power. The USA with NATO backed allies appointed all the people in power there. And if you actually go to Afghanistan you would actually see that they are as generous and normal people as anybody. You can even talk English openly and there is 0% of an aggression from anyone. The ones who may have a wish to kill Americans are people who've lost their whole families, houses, livestock and everything else to one of the plane attacks and have nothing left to live for, so they want revenge on Americans for destroying his whole life. Proof please.
He's exaggerating by replacing "support" with "create"/"putting in power". Either way, not worth responding to someone who simplifies war down to killing women and children.

I'm for Paul/Romney. Sounds sort of polarized, but I think they both have good ideas, and are both capable of low level thought.

It is a primary smart guy. If I don't want any of them to be president then it makes sense. Clearly you fail to understand the distinction between primary and general elections.

Obama could have been one of the nation's best presidents, the timing for him is just horrible and timing is everything in politics (as in most things), and he knew that going in to it. But for most people, the fact that the US economy is still in trouble is his fault, even though it is more a problem of eight years of stupid combined with the fact that most Americans are just plain uncompetitive in a global economy. $20 bills didn't start growing in their garden a year after he was elected, and for most people that is a failure.
At this point, the only republican candidate that wouldn't cause me to leave the country if elected is Romney, so I guess I'm pulling for him?
I'm pretty sure Obama is going to coast to another term, mainly because its hard to throw out someone who has four years experience on the job, as long as he hasn't completely screwed everything up, which he hasn't.
Obama spent more in his first year than Bush did in 4 (it might have even been all eight). His spending is what is killing him the most right now. For instance, we CAN'T AFFORD the healthcare plan. if it's still Bush's fault after four years, then maybe it could be blamed on Clinton? I suppose Carter also was simply "unlucky". Be consistent. LOL, don't even propose Clinton weakened the economy. The only bad thing that I can remember Clinton doing was sending a lot of manufacturing jobs overseas, and even then, a lot of them were leaving anyway. Clinton left the economy is phenomenally great shape. Bush started screwing it over, and Obama is simply inheriting his mess. He may not have improved it into positive numbers, but I can tell you he has stopped it from completely going into the toilet.
My point was that you can't go on forever. (and btw, under a R house was the budget at it's best. Of course that changed, and now both parties are spending whatever they feel like). And I have no idea how you can say Obama has helped it. he is spending MORE each year than Bush did. nevermind that he also said that under him unemployment would never top 9% (he might have even said 8%). people are getting sick of the blame game, it's time for him to own it and say how he's going to fix it.

no, but most university professors do propose a few different views on economics.

Voted for Huntsman, since he's the only candidate on the slate reasonable enough for me to fathom voting over Obama. Don't get me wrong, I have some beef with the current prez, but this year's candidates from the right are mostly bad people with bad ideas.
