Obama: brags about drone attacks, can't defend our Ambassador, is pro-abortion, wasted billions of taxpayer money on green energy, and has an economic record that has grown the number of Americans living in poverty and living on food stamps. Not only that, Obama has divided us in a way that can only be compared to the US Civil war.
Point by point:
*Romney blusters war, and hasn't promised to stop the drone attacks.
*Romney has been by turns pro abortion and pro life; he now says he will do nothing legislatively re: abortion. (More, but that's enough for now.) Which is it now, then, and later ?
*We are approaching peak oil; how will we revitalize and grow the economy without increasing demand and raising the cost of the revitalization ? Alternative energy will be needed at some point - the cost of achieving some amount of alternative energy rises with the cost of oil. How will we deal with these issues without laying the groundwork ? Additionally, the global market for alternative energy is increasing - we are behind, and should be trying to position ourselves as a leader in this market.
* As in the other thread, roughly half the debt and deficit are from a situation that was not controlled by whoever took office - and have been exacerbated by external factors.
* As the mom to 6 children and a citizen who has been following politics in this country, my read is
not that this is "all Obama's fault". I've seen too much emotionalism, entrenched ideological bluster, and frank childish behavior from Congress to blame the whole thing on one person.
Romney: has a personal record and professional record of helping out people, is much stronger in his personal faith, has a plan to grow the economy and put Americans back to work, and like Reagan he understands that the way to prevent war is to have a strong US military that no one will challenge under the leadership of a strong US President.
Point by point:
* who doesn't ?
* has a personal faith that claims to be Christian but is not - as a Christian I find this deeply problematic.
* has not given details of his plan, and has a record of changing his position; takes credit for things done in Mass. that he didn't do, and does not take responsibility for things that he did do
* is stuck in an era that is gone, and does not understand that we do have the strongest military in the world, that the 21st century requires a different strategy, and is persistently threatening instead of showing the true strength and courage that is needed to utilize diplomacy instead of bluster
* seems to mistake bullying on an international scale for strength
