I just ranted about Newt & Santorum in the racism thread- could have thrown Ron Paul in too. Women's health & reproductive health care along with most of the GOP's field and attitudes about race just point to my not considering voting for any of them, no matter who ends up the nominee. Romney's economic views are just more of what began with Ronald Reagan and pander to the most wealthy.

Like many have stated, I don't see Obama as in any way, my "perfect" candidate or free of Wall Street ties. Yet, I do think he has a human soul and also earned his way through life by putting his nose to the grindstone. I don't know how anyone can be elected to the US presidency without being in bed with someone- which isn't exactly something I like.

The first general election I voted in was in 1972 when Nixon won a second term against George McGovern, who I voted for. I have almost always felt like I was voting for the "lesser of 2 evils" since. I hate this.

What I think right now is that there is positive movement in the economy and that a change in the president and his policies is a big mistake at this point. I also think that the last thing he wants to do is get us into another war with Iran and has the intellect and temperment to deal with that situation.

What I really think is that cannot allow the Occupy movement to die out. It will effect change that is more responsive to the working and middle class eventually. Patience.
