I don't really like either candidate. It's times like these I want a true democracy, where we don't have a true leader, or president. I don't pay much attention to politics, so I can't really give you many specifics on the two. I am, however, pretty fluent with the two main presidential parties so I guess I can base a little bit off of that.
Obama being a democrat is split right down the middle for me. We need immigrants to come to America, because that's one of the reasons why it was formed. I'm Catholic, but I'm for gay marriage. Most republicans need to realize that this is not the 1800's and same-sex marriage doesn't deliver any negativity. It's against the Bible, but I'm with "Don't ask, don't tell, don't look, don't yell." I'm pretty indifferent about the topic. I hate the idea of abortion because it is deliberate murder of a fetus. I'm with stem-cell research, but only until a way to do it without sacrificing fetuses is found. I live by the Bible for the most part, but during the times it isn't helping us, it can be ignored. Besides, there aren't any deliberate teachings of homosexuality, stem-cell research, etc. Health care sin't a good idea because it violates our civil liberties by disallowing our choice of medicinal junk. On the other hand, it helps the poor, so, meh.
Romney might be good for reducing the national spending, but only by raising taxes. Sometimes a sacrifice must be made for the good of the people, but only when it is most necessary. Stem-cell research isn't necessary, so it doesn't follow this pattern. Sending troops away... Well... No idea there. I don't see anything else he good do that will help the country.
I'm kind of split down the middle, but Romney might be better now to clean up, with a president like Obama to come in and take over.
