Hell in a Handbasket

Obamacare alone is enough to keep me from voting for him. I will not be told I have to have heath insurance or pay a penalty for choosing not to have it. Add to that what he wants to do with my second amendment rights, giving people far too long on unemployment - sure they stay unemployed, why work if you can get paid to not work? (And that by the way is the tax dollars of the working people paying for those two years.)

As bad as potentially loosing some of my gay rights and, the threat to other minority right presented by Romney, it beats Obama in my mind. No I didn't vote for Bush, and usually do vote Democrat, but I didn't vote for Obama and, this time I will vote Romney just to help get Obama out of there. In my mind anything has got to be better for the nation as a whole than more Obama.

Can it really be that you have not heard of Romneycare? :confused: (In case you haven't then Romneycare is considered the forerunner of Obamacare. Heck the policy came from a right wing think tank as an alternate to "Hillary Care" and was said to promote responsibility over welfare by forcing people to buy insurance. Obama pretty much tapped the same plan, something even many Republicans blasted Romney for when they were still fighting for the POTUS candidacy nomination. Interesting enough Republicans praised the plan and liberals condemned it as heartless until Obama ran with it and then both sides changed their position to the opposite it had been on.)

And btw, here's a tip: don't listen to the NRA, they just love to shake people down for money by scaring them about gun rights or something similarly sensationalist (for example they once spread something like, "World's tyrants to meet on American soil to take away your guns! Sign this useless petition and send us more money!" in response to another humdrum UN vote in NYC that would be in no way binding to the US even if the Useless Nations could've made a clear decision, which of course they didn't). I, and many other gun owners, don't trust them at all (I much prefer the Second Amendment Foundation). (NRA members who teach gun safety and all that are fine, I'm talking about the bureaucracy that plays politics at the expense of our rights as well as forever seeking to enrich its coffers, and btw, the only gun control I heard of Obama passing as POTUS was backed by the NRA as well, other than that Obama has loosened gun restrictions rather than tightening them).
