[Closed] American Presidential Election - have we done it yet?

[img] [/img]

You forgot the bit where Romney believes that Native Americans are really Jewish, and that there needs to be another World War to herald the arrival of Jesus. in Missouri.

Totally batshit doesn't cover the half of it.

Romney: Corporations are people.
This is bad.
I'm not sure why - I wish corporations [i]were[/i] treated in the same was as people in some respects (mainly legal accountability).

I foresee bad things if Romney takes it

Obama seems like a nice chap who's doing his damndest to do a good job

the paradox with the presidential race is the president himself doesn't have all that much power - he's only a third of the power base but he's the embodiment of all the political power. So a president can succeed of fail on issues that are largely outside of his control. Presidents have very little control or influence over the economy for instance, but if the economy is doing well the sitting president gets the credit and if it doesn't he takes the blame and suffers a protest vote from people who just want to registers their dislike of the status quo.

Though this is funny:

I think the rest of the world is amazed that Romney is taken so seriously by almost half the country, or even given the time of day.

It's been interesting, since half my Facebook friends are US family. Several of them are supporting Johnson. Yes, there is more than two candidates 🙂

Anyone spent any time in the US during election time btw? It's truly bonkers. Their political system is totally 100% broken. An absolute disaster.

Romney firmly believes that the banks and Corporations are seriously over-regulated, and if he gets in he intends to rectify this first thing.

So we should be looking at the end of the world before he's even had chance to start another war 🙄

Is there anyone outside of America who thinks a President Romney would be a good idea?

Romney is also popular in ****stan. Seriously - there's polling on it.

Is there anyone who doesn't believe in Creationism who thinks a President Romney would be a good idea?

Comedians everywhere.

@molgrips - I was working in NYC in the final weeks of the campaign and went to Rockerfeller Centre to watch the tally 4 years ago, it was a true party atmosphere the optimism, dare I say it hope, was everywhere. Yes American politics is bonkers, the spending, the issues thought as important, the level of the debate and dialogue ...

I can only hope Romney doesn't get in, the scary thing is for a lot of the Grand Old Party he isn't far enough to the right.

I believe the official polling in the UK is something like 90% in favour of Obama.

We don't get to vote unfortunately

Boeing, Northrop / Grumman, Colt, Heckler and Koch etc...

I'm a dual national, so I do 🙂

If he loses, maybe he could come over and replace Cameroon, he would win an unprecedented landslide.

ah-ha, so we HAVE done it:

He's like the worst bits of the Conservative leadership rolled into one person! Gaffe-prone, out-of-touch dubious religious views, too close to Murdoch, in the pocket of big business and wants to do away with as much of the state as he can get away with.

😀

The bit I find slightly surprising is the whole thing seems to be in the balance of a few people who can't decided if they prefer Obama or Romney.
I'm curious as to what sort of personality someone has that could make this is a daddy or chips dilemma.
