Americans: Romney or Obama?
 
You've heard the debates, the commerials and the campaigns. You decide Romney (R) or Obama (D)? I am all for Romney since the last four years have NOT been an improvement.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people here are not prepared for political debates, let alone even voting. I guess I'll just watch this diminish to mindless insults and bickering based on what kids have seen from ads on TV.

This video shows the absurdity of what the republican party is willing to do to attempt to get their nominee into office. :\

I'm guessing you haven't seen this obama political ad. This is a nasty election, both sides are desperate.

I think the entire system is off course and broken, it was originally never meant to have parties, our president is not like Washington, nor will any politician these days will be.



Politicians are corrupt, horrible people, do are super pacts and big corporates that try to overpower the rights of people with lobbyists and money, paying off politicians, they don't do what's right for the country, they do it for the money and the only reason they will listen to people is from fear of being voted out of office.


No matter who you choose, unless some great force comes down, forcing the government to change by threat of death, assassinating those in the way... Unless someone goes in and fixs the constitution and turns the entire political system around and changes it dramatically.... Unless that happens then whoever is voted for won't really fix it.

I agree that this election is nasty, however I cannot seem to find anywhere that this ad was funded by the obama campaign, rather it was independently made by Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein of the San Francisco-based Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

The video I posted containing two republican ads are still on the campaign's website.

this is why we need to being back literacy tests and even add a 3question about the debates, if you dont get 2/3 correct, no vote.

The debates don't matter, how about voters have to explain what their nominee's policies are? Romney voters should have fun, since he doesn't clarify on anything concerning what he's going to do. He just says he's going to "get jobs".

I'm not sure how super pacs are even legal. All they do is let any business secretly fund someone' campaign, and then if they win, request a little payback from the president. They're the reason Mitt Romney won the republican nomination, and the reason someone sensible like Ron Paul did not.

thats better than saying you'll improve the economy, but two laters you double both the national debt and unemployment rates...

and super pacs are legal because our current government said it was legal. by Citizen's United supreme court ruling
