    Hell no.

    I will be voting for Romney, even though he isn't perfect.

    No since I just don't like him anymore. He's focusing too much on his re-election and he also promised too many things he couldn't do. Although....I hope he wins.

    no choice. I may just have to flip a coin to vote.
    I wish we had a LGBTQ president.

    There is more than just the LGBT issue when it comes to voting you know?:lol: In any case, Obama is the lesser of two evils.

    While true, Romney has said nothing to convince me he really has the general American people in mind any more than Obama does. At this point, I just see 2 talking heads that are trying to yank the "Jobs!" mantra from the other.

    But at least one of them isn't pledging to uphold discrimination.

    I don't really understand how anyone could even consider voting for Romney. Honestly, maybe I was sheltered, but I have a hard time believing anyone that out-of-touch could even pretend to represent the people. Then I remember that people actually support him. I'm not sure if I'm okay with this species.

    I voted "for" Obama, except I'm only for him in the sense that I want him to win the election. It's more accurate to say that I'm against Romney. Furthermore, I am against his party and its whole political philosophy, which I believe to be ethically misguided to the core, and I direct a lot of my time to considering just how terrible it is.

    While Romney is much worse than Obama, I do not support Obama and will not be voting for him. If I lived in a swing state I probably would, though.

    This is about how I feel. I like Romney's economic policies better, but I can't stand his stance on social issues. Since I live in Cali and Obama will win here, I probably won't vote since even though I don't like Romney, I can't bring myself to vote for Obama. I wish there was a viable third choice.

    There is a third option: don't vote. That option means the democratic republic has failed. I feel that roughly describes our situation.

    I wasn't sure who I would vote for until I heard Romney say he was ENTIRELY against gay marriage. And soon after, I heard the democratic party put LGBT equality as a plank in their platform. That sealed the deal for me!

    I'll probably be voting for Obama... But I'd like to choose someone else.. anyone, really. These 2 aren't the greatest canditates at all for the Presidential seat.

    your 2-party system is completely broken and untenable.

    Romney is an absolute monster and i sigh at the blind ignorance of people behind him, but feel reassured that his chances are very low.

    Romney is a corporate puppet that can't decide whether or not he even wants to pick a side on a matter. I don't mean this next bit insultingly, but has he ever actually stuck with an important decision?

    As for Obama, he has blatantly ignored the Constitution multiple times. My dad's an avid promoter of the Second Amendment, so I heard about Fast and Furious months before it actually made major news, as well as multiple other things that I'll spare everyone the pleasure of hearing...

    But, I'm 16 and can't vote. So I guess my opinion is null.

    I can't see not voting for Obama, Romney will set us back years if he's elected.

    If I could have my way, the voting age would be 16, although I would ask for registrants to pass a basic, non-partisan civics test; that would go for all ages. Your opinion is more valuable than you know. I am not sure precisely when your birthday falls, but chances are, you'll be 18 by the time of the midterm elections.

    At which time, I hope you'll help to throw bigots out of the House of Representatives and the Senate and get people in who support gun rights for lay-abiding citizens, especially minorities who rely on self-defense when law enforcement fails to respond timely. The holy grail would be a federal stand-your-ground law.
