Are you voting for a candidate or simply against his opponent?

Obama has been a great president. He's saved the economy and worked tremendously hard to turn things around, despite being opposed by a borderline-seditious Republican party every step of the way. He passed a healthcare reform bill that will change the lives of tens of millions of Americans, including people I know and people in my family, allowing them to have and afford health insurance for the first time. He's a good person, at his core, who believes in fairness and believes that government should work as much as possible for all Americans instead of just the privileged few who can afford to buy their politicians. He believes in equality for gays and lesbians, he believes in protecting voting rights, he believes that law-abiding immigrants should be allowed to remain in this country and become full-fledged citizens, he believes that global warming is real, he believes that people should be able to make their own medical decisions rather than be told what to do by old, white religious men. He's been far from perfect, but he's been the best president in my life. I'm voting for him, and my vote for him will be much more meaningful to me than it was four years ago.

Mitt Romney, of course, also sucks. A lot. He put his f[inks]ing dog in a cage on top of a car for eight hours for Christ's sake.

I strongly agree with the above two posts. The teabaggers, racists and bigots that make up Romney's base cannot be allowed to win.
