I'll tell you why.. it's because the economy is not doing that great,
and a lot of liberties have been trespassed on under Obama.
We're not very objective right now because so much was at stake
in preventing a Romney win. We succeeded, and I think most of us
like Obama on a personal level, I know I do, but there are other
perspectives and concerns that might make it easier to understand
the other side's votes.
Some examples. Obama increased the deficit, and he did not solve
the tax problem. He increased military aggression in the ME in ways
that might be hard to call wars because of drones but are just as evil.
He might well start a war against Iran and keep blaming China for the
fact that the USA cannot sell anything. He might also step up efforts
to get Assange. He'll continue to keep Gitmo open, and with those drones
and stealth ops he'll probably keep attacking civilians in the ME in the
hopes that he'll strike some people off his personal kill list. As for protest
and Occupy, his admin fostered a seriously oppressive police state. As for
reforms, well, here at home the House will continue to block whatever he tries
to do, whereas Romney's reforms would have been blocked by the Senate, not
much difference there really.
People probably didn't believe that Romney would be so bad, especially
after that first debate where he appeared more moderate and human.
I know a lot of people felt that he would handle the economy better
than Obama. I didn't think so but a lot of people did... a lot of reasonable
non freeper people.
We here know the perils of a Romney presidency because of the influence
of big money and hate, but his governing history as a moderate carries
a good bit of weight and respect with it. I think he still wanted to be
moderate but wasn't allowed to. Good conservatives probably saw this
good in him and wanted to believe the best. Maybe we know better, but
then maybe we don't know everything either... who knows.
