In reply to the discussion: This election is a binary event. Calling for Obama's defeat *IS* advocating for Romney's victory. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)I have been pointing out that when you vote for Romney either by voting for a third party candidate or not voting at all, you vote for a Republican cabinet, including the Secretary of Labor, to say nothing of Republican judges, Republican tax and trade policy, all of which are worse than Obama's even on the best day.
I'm an Obama critic on some issues, but we have get Obama back into the White House. We managed somehow to survive Reagan and Bush I and a lot of people relaxed after that. But the truth is, we really didn't survive Bush II with our economy intact. Bush II did not take the right measures soon enough to prevent the disaster that occurred thanks to his lack of oversight and regulation.
Even if people feel disappointed, we must elect Obama. There isn't any other choice.
If you don't like Obama so much that you can't vote for him now, you should have been working to find and support a challenger way back in 2009 or 2010. Any other good arguments?
