"Sigh poor unexperienced young people. Do not worry with age comes some wisdom."

Some of the most enthusiastic Obama supporters I know are well-educated older professionals. So I guess you're right - wisdom means not voting for a Republican.

"BTW, purposely misspelling the President of the Unites States name is really a slur to the office and to the Country."

So is mismanaging the country, but the clowns still manage to get away with it...with pay.

@superman I personally know Phd's who cant open a bag of chips... Education is really no measure of intelligence.

"The only votes Obomba will get are the people on welfare and dont want to work and want more handouts." Is this a rehash of Romney"s %47?

BTW, purposely misspelling the President of the Unites States name is really a slur to the office and to the Country.

I agree that paying for education w/o children might seem to be an undue burden...but what happens when all those children go un-educated? If I have never driven on a particular street in say-Oxford, should my taxes pay for it? Taxes are not limited to your particular usage.

Not voting for President. Do not want either one for president. All other races, I will vote for the one NOT in office. we have seen what the ones in office can do, NOTHING. Let's try some new people.

I drop the GOP likely voters into 3 camps... (none of which are bad IMO... :)

1. Incomes of 250K+ are obvious choices for the GOP. "Rich keep getting richer..." 2. Some hardline social stance on an issue (of which, the GOP has since backed off from after the early rallying of the GOP base and current pandering to moderate independents) "Say what they want to hear..." and--- 3. Middle income, socially moderate (or reasonably so...) and otherwise normal folks who think the GOP has something good for them in their plans. "Well,... this is actually baffling to me..."

As an independent, I have seen nothing from the GOP to persuade me for voting for them. I hear all sorts of "sound bites" that really say nothing. I hear great sounding plans that have no basis in real substance. I may not agree with every single political stance from every Democrat running for office, but I see an economy slowly rebounding and "all four wheels out of the ditch and back on the road".

Blue has my vote...

I really dont care what Romney's agenda might be. I only know that Obomba hasnt done anything but get this country on the verge of bankrupcy. After 4 years he now has a plan! Wish he had had a plan for the last 4 years. The only votes Obomba will get are the people on welfare and dont want to work and want more handouts. After 4 years of nothing we need a change. I have always voted mostly for democrats but no more. Education funding should be like toll roads the people who fill up the schools should be the ones who pay for it. Over 60% of the tax collected goes to support education and we dont have children. Just how fair a tax is that? By the way I have a masters degree also a CPA so I am not exactly uneducated.

"We should go to a flat income tax to make things truly fair" - ConservativeVoter

Uh, no. 10% of a poor, or middle class earning is a much bigger BURDEN than 10% of a rich person's earnings.

"You do understand that taxes are suppose to be horizontally and vertically fair, right?" - beachmama

Apparently not. And from how many I've seen propose taxing the poor at the same rate as your tax the rich, it's a systemic misunderstanding.

"You are being too logical for those on the left to understand." - ncouterbanks69

See what I mean?

A poll of over 411 comments on WRAL's news story shows that 97% of NC people are still blind to Romney's agenda. The same people are shown to be bitter and uneducated, based on the number of syllables in their words, and exclaimation points and question marks per sentence.

Obama invests in companies that send jobs overseas AND hides much of his income in the cayman islands (offshore accounts). Why, so they are not taxed. http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/realmitt.asp
