It's decided! I'm voting for whomever STOPS calling my house and filling my mailbox with leaflets. Done!!

This Romney jackass calls the house at 9:30 last night. Then it's an automated thing so you can't even go off on the person.

In all honesty i don't say a whole lot about politics because people that have the best intents can get twisted into a mess that is unrecognizable.

With MR. President Obama we have a man who can have a conversation with every person in AMERICA and that simply wouldn't be the case with mitt. I say this because he never had it hard like the common people who are the backbone of this great country have experienced. So he never will relate to the majority of the common folks.

I agree. I read a comparison today speaking of Obama's Reaction to the ambassador and others in Libya being murdered and it was noted how Reagan was not lambasted when the Marines were murdered in Lebanon in 1983.
Similiar situation, but the democrats were not screaming from the rooftops about it, calling for reagans head, Don't let the goddamn republicans divide and conquer any of us.

not a reason to for or against but today the President is appearing with Dave Mathews and Bill Clinton at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA and apparently in CO Sunday.

Here's 10 good reasons to vote for Obama: 10 things that Obamacare (actually the Affordable Care Act) will do for you. These are facts, not opinions or projections or estimates. 10 concrete, positive things this President has done to help prevent you from dying simply because of a lack of access to health care. Remember that Romney has promised to eliminate each and every one of these things on his first day in office. Unless you're immortal, I don't know how you can possibly think that's a good thing.

1) Insurance companies can no longer impose lifetime coverage limits on your insurance. Never again will you face the risk of getting really sick and then, a few months in, having your insurer tell you, "Sorry, you've 'run out' of coverage." Almost everyone I've met knows someone who had insurance but got really, really sick (or had a kid get really sick) and ran into a lifetime cap.

2) If you don't know someone who has run into a lifetime cap, you probably know someone who has run into an annual cap. The use of these will be sharply limited. (They'll be eliminated entirely in 2014.)

3) Insurers can no longer tell kids with preexisting conditions that they'll insure them "except for" the preexisting condition. That's called preexisting condition exclusion, and it's out the window.

4) A special, temporary program will help adults with preexisting conditions get coverage. It expires in 2014, when the health insurance exchanges—basically big "pools" of businesses and individuals—come on-line. That's when all insurers will have to cover everyone, preexisting condition or not.

5) Insurance companies can't drop you when you get sick, either—this plan means the end of "rescissions."

6) You can stay on your parents' insurance until you're 26.

7) Seniors get $250 towards closing the "doughnut hole" in their prescription drug coverage. Currently, prescription drug coverage ends once you've spent $2,700 on drugs and it doesn't kick in again until you've spent nearly $6,200. James Ridgeway wrote about the problems [12] with the doughnut hole for Mother Jones in the September/October 2008 issue. Eventually, the health care reform bill will close the donut hole entirely. The AARP has more on immediate health care benefits [13] for seniors. Next year (i.e., in nine months), 50 percent of the doughnut hole will be covered.

8 ) Medicare's preventive benefits now come with a free visit with your primary care doctor every year to plan out your prevention services. And there are no more co-pays for preventative services in Medicare.

9) This is a big one: Small businesses get big tax credits—up to 50 percent of premium costs—for offering health insurance
to their workers.

10) Insurers with unusually high administrative costs have to offer rebates to their customers, and every insurance company has to reveal how much it spends on overhead. This helps keep insurance premiums paying for care, not executive perks.

A little pre-election comedy. Get out and vote, for whoever you think is best. Just vote!!!



This is repost, but it's hysterical!!

Things suck under Obama and his plan is more of the same. Everyone says Romney is a rich asshole. Not sure I'm going to vote at all.

Try thinking of it as your personal civic responsibility, not just a choice. A whole lot of people in other countries would love to be able to vote, and a whole lot more have fought for your ability to do so here. That might sound hokey but it's the plain truth.

It's not hokey, Sue. It's certainly how I look at it.

Go Vote people! Even if you don't like the D or R candidate there is always the L, so maybe you could vote for Mr Johnson. A viable 3rd party is the only way shake things up. It's a way to send a message.

"Loath would I be to tell people how to vote, but I would tell people to vote. Vote your heart, vote your conscience. Don't vote your wallet. That's my opinion, but you've got to vote. It's an American's blessed duty." —Bob Weir (1992)

I realize we have "the right to vote" in America but I look at it like this, we vote and no matter who wins nothing changes. War on poverty, war on drugs, war on education, war on this, war on that. It's all Bullshit at the end of the day. The media plays these elections as if they're the Super Bowl, who's going to win ? We are ! No, we are ! 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate it ? Our guy !

How are we any different than a third world country except that we have the illusion of being able to change things ? Change has to happen in the soul of a country and right now America has no soul.

Sorry, not to be a downer but I'm really not excited about it.
