Glove for president.
I'd rather have a box of Tic-Tacs for president.

  the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. that is the part I am talking about I have the right to own and carry arms that part is not referring to the militia every adult American is a part of the militia. also the 2nd amendment is just as important as any other rights you enjoy if you give up one right you might as well give them all up/

No not at all, the 2nd amendment is the least important and possible most stuffty one next to prohibition. If you try to overthrow the government they'll kill you before you even fire your gun. You're probably a 12 year old that has no idea how the world works.

I like how a lot of the time, Romney just avoids the question.

His very FOCUS is to keep us in the dark.

And what is this?  A 5-point plan?  Care to elaborate, Mr. Romney?

Romney secretly wants to make the United states a Theocracy

1. He spelled out his 5-point plan several times (energy independence, opening trade, killing the deficit, education,  and promoting small business)
2. He answered better than Obama (e.g. Libya, his pension, and the fast and furious scandal)

Overall Obama was very rude and seemed really angsty/ angry last night

How exactly does he plan on doing his 5 point plan. Just cause he says he wants to do it doesn't mean it's a plan. Also your opinion is biased because you're obviously republican, just like a die hard democrat would say the democrat won no matter what

1. I never stated that Mitt Romney won or that I'm Republican (I'm not)
2. How does Obama plan on doing another 4 years?  He's clearly not done a lot so far and his track record speaks to it.  I would at least give someone new a chance, and the worst that can happen is Romney does more of the same.

Mitt Romney has built up many companies and he knows what it takes to make things work.  

- Getting fuel from Canada and opening oil drilling on the coast gives us energy freedom.  
- Cracking down on China and opening more trade with places like South America
- He has a shaky plan for the deficit, but since Obama's plan is no better you can't argue that (CNN fact checked both plans so don't call bullstuff on that).
- Education sucks and there are obvious things to improve that (Obama and Romney are the same on this).  As governor of Massachusetts he was able to make their public schools #1 in the nation.
- Giving tax breaks that allow companies to save money and therefore hire people will promote small business and give people solid jobs.

In no way am I saying that Obama is the anti-christ and that Romney is our country's savior, but he seems to have his act together and has a plan that could or could not work (but it's not like we are doing great to begin with)

Running a business is a lot different from running a country

lol you obviously know nothing about economics

Well... He has a point.
Running a business is a hell of a lot different than running a country.

lol you obviously know nothing about economics

Cause the president completely runs the economy and absolutely nothing else, nothing else at all. Yeah I don't know anything about what a president does, I'm so dumb :C

nice ^

1. You need revenue and not be in debt to succeed (a country needs to make money to run programs and to keep people safe)
2. You need a healthcare plan that can make your employees happy and keep working as hard as you need them to (people in a country need healthcare options easily accessible and options that are affordable).  Plus you don't want your employees suing you for getting hurt on the job
3. Business can't succeed by constantly borrowing from the government/ other companies (our government can't keep getting money from China and etc 16 trillion in debt blah blah)
4. A business is run with an elite group of people making decisions that effect some to many others (The Senate, House, Obama)
5. The CEO makes sure that they don't get beat out by another company that rips off their ideas (China stealing our intellectual property)
6. Business needs a structure or place to be in and it's the person running the business that decides where they are located and whether they want to move etc. (Do we want to annex Canada?  Mexico?  Or are we safe right here?)

Are you oversimplifying what the president does on purpose, or are you handicapped?
