I'm worried about Romney, because he says that he will cut taxes (for the upper class, typical Republican), and then fill that deficit by fixing loopholes in tax returns. Now, he won't say which loopholes he'll fix, but don't worry, you'll find that out after he gets elected. No need for details now, really, he'll tell you later. Basically, he goes off every Republican financial plan that never really works in the long run. And this is just finance.
When it comes to women's rights, oh lord I am honestly scared if he gets elected. He does not support equal pay for equal work for women, he doesn't support life saving programs such as Planned Parenthood, and he doesn't respect a women's own right to choose what she does with her own health.
From an LGBT standpoint, since running for the Presidency, he has made his view against marriage equality fit in with the GOP. Also, let's not forget that he and his friends pinned down a kid in college and cut off his hair and harassed a kid, not because he was gay, but because they thought he was gay.
It just frustrates me how there can be so many things wrong with the Romney/Ryan ticket, without even touching on all of Ryan's issues (which there are many of them).
And also that one of the main crutches is that they keep saying that "Are we better off than we were four years ago? NO!"
Actually, we kinda are. We're most definitely not okay yet, but as a country we are on the mend. During the last months of the Bush Administration, after the worst economic crisis we've seen in decades, we were losing around 340,000 jobs a month. That downward spiral stopped and started turning around throughout 2009, under the Obama administration. The housing market is improving, and things are slowly getting better. They're just choosing to ignore certain facts.
Now, has there been waste in the Obama administration? Of course. Just like every other presidency. That's what happens. But he was handed a pretty shitty situation when he came to office and he's been doing a damn fine job of trying to put it back together.
Not to mention he treats women like equal human beings who are smart enough to make their own health care choices and not have old white males who can't even say "vagina" make those choices for them. Just saying.
I am not 18 yet so I can't vote. But if I were I would definitely vote for Obama and urge others to do the same because I am scared of what will happen if we have Romney in the Oval Office for four years; and that's the truth.
