Nothing quite so clever as telling a group of people you're about to take things away from them but want them to vote for you anyway.

Same thing everyone else does; Stick with the suckage you know instead of the suckage that'll make the most change.

Well he grew up just fine without it, back in the '40s, how could we possibly need it today?

I'm interested to hear why Obama sucks so much, but then again I don't live there so I don't claim to know much about US politics. Answer for your question, obviously it's better to vote the lesser of two evils. However it's a pretty sad attempt at democracy, when you basically only have two candidates/parties to choose from, so you get my sympathy in that matter.

Sucks being someone that doesn't like either party. Sigh.

You're not supposed to like them, they're politicians.

In the future, the current politicians won't be on the stage, because they will be replaced with other people, and maybe you'll like them more.
It's not a question of liking anyone, it's about making the right choices for the future, that's all what democracy is about!

I don't like either of their stances. My family votes republican, and i live in a state where it will be republican 72% of the time. So my vote will matter very little. I voted for Ron Paul, but he got shot down to 2%, then Romney was 96%, and the last 4% were the other candidates.

There are always points of parties that make you think "OMG I would NEVER want THAT to happen".
The party which has the fewest of those items, should be the party you should vote on.
Because one way or the other, there WILL be an election and other people WILL vote, if you like the candidates or not.

I'm pretty wary about this next presidential era; if Obama stays in, I truly feel he will make the terrible pomegranate he's done over the past 4 years look like some sort of hellish warmup. Meanwhile, if Romney gets in, things will be bad in a different way; sure, we won't be going any worse into debt, but I'd rather that happen over some of the things he's touting. Sadly, I don't think the US will ever be leaving the 2 party stage, which I guess is only made slightly less painful because in the next few years it won't even be a country, more than likely.

Still curious to know what "terrible pomegranade" Obama has done during his presidency.
I would already vote for Obama simply because:
