Let's see....economy is better. GA Unemployment down to 8.4%, Forclosures are down, stock market is up. Unemployment in the country at 7.8% and trending down. Sounds like those policies that everyone keeps saying are not working are really working.

As for they guy that would be king....severly conservative, but likes Obama's Foreign policy, hates Obamacare but wrote it and guess what....Bain is outsourcing jobs to China (which he has 8 million in Sensata) but will be a tough guy against China.

Anyone that says Romeny will be better than Obama is simply lying to themselves.

I wish they would just say that they are McConnell disciples and move on.

These folks are simply voting against Obama....even though they can see Romney is a lying outsourcer who will do anything for a buck and say anything to become President.

Consider this ... IF Obama is re-elected when all of the details come out about the Benghazi murders ... he would be impeached and then what do you have ... "OH NO ... SAY IT ISN'T SO, JOE ... Biden" as president ... HELLO?!?!?!
Voting Romney for more reasons than I can count ... economics, integrity, national security, integrity, leadership, integrity, education, ... oh did I mention INTEGRITY?!?!?! ... just to name a few ...

I saw a disturbing picture...I saw the man being dragged through the city after being murdered and on the other side sat Obama chatting with the stars. That's why they are covering up. They were negligent in their duties for the sake of 'campaigning" and they know it. The Ambassodors father said that obama wouldn't even look him in the eye when he shook his hand. "It was like a cold fish". Maybe his conscience is bothering him? I remember when Bush was campaigning and a crisis came up. he put it aside and went to work before coming back to the campaign trail. He had class. We need a GROWN UP in the White House.
Oh and Greg...Georgia has a Republican governor. Will he get any credit for those numbers you just posted?

R- unfortunately I haven't been impressed with Deal either. Just wondered where those imaginary numbrs came from. lol

And to place the ball back on the fairway, I voted for Romney so we could return control back to the adults. We have issues that require serious work, NOT eye candy.

WE need leaders, not talk show circuit guests...
I'm sure David L. can get a few more interviews with Snooki to fill the void.

I voted for Romney for many reasons...he is smart, a proven business man that I feelcan do many good things for our economy and turn it around, I feel he has an interest to turn America around and to make it a place we are proud of. He is American! I feel he won't hide his face in the sand when he is needed to fight for our country. I believe in him.
We saw too much of "voting for someone for one reason" in the last election and are reeping the consequences of it now.

If President Obama has more plans about how to heal our country, why did he not employ them already? Why wait until now and use them as carrots to get votes? Our country needs not only financial healing, but healing in being the UNITED States of America, as well. We need spiritual healing, but that is not for our government to initiate - that is up to us as individuals.

When I see the Obama campaign slogan "Forward" it brings to my mind the words of Nazi guards to Jews being herded to the gas chambers: "Move quickly!! The showers are getting cold!" That may be a harsh comparison for some readers but that's the risk of following someone that never built a business and instead only organized communities. Romney is a proven entity. The worst of Obama is yet to come.

Obama is steadily accusing Romney of being a liar. On the eve of the Al Qaeda attack in Benghazi, don't you think that is "The pot calling the kettle black" ????

@ Brian Crawford...The definition of a christian: A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in the Canonical gospels and the letters of the New Testament. "Christian" derives from the Koine Greek word Christ, a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term Messiah.
1. Obama's middle name is Hussein. His father and stepfather were Muslim. And he spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, a largely Muslim country.
2. Obama's church of over 20 years with Reverend Jeremiah Wright is known for his criticisms of the United States government (he has referred to it as the “U.S. of KKK A.,” for instance).
3. His recent lie to the United States about the attack at Benghazi.
I ask, is this a character of a christian? There are too many questions for me to believe in him as a christian or a leader of our country!

Has anyone seen the new Obama ad? As a woman I am extremely offended and appalled! Never has a presidential candidate stooped this low.

Ugh!!!

@Marly...that's exactly what I said, just in other terms. If you don't like my definition then you can refer to Wikipedia. That's where I got it. The one thing we agree on is a Christian believes in God and Jesus Christ. My point was Obama's Christian beliefs and those in the Bible are totally different and I can not look up to, admire, trust or believe in anything he stands for.

I don't want to attack anyone's religious beliefs, we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God, however, I will say Obama's actions prove different from my beliefs. Therefore I would never vote for him. I can and will say I believe in Romney and have already cast my vote. We taxpayers can't afford another 4 years!!!!

@Marley,
No there isn't one thing I admire about him and I would think Hannity would cringe about the thought himself.

Then there's the obama sex ad... Well, I guess he's got to appeal to his base. funny this was already posted and no one replied much to it. Exposes too much about obama I guess.

marley, I do believe that paying taxes is patriotic - for things we NEED. Most of our taxes go to pay rich fat cat senators and their jet airplanes (nancy Pelosi comes to mind), pay off people for votes (Oh yes this congress did), etc... That is not patriotic and we the PEOPLE have a right to govern the money we send to Washington.

Marley- what did you mean about Hannity being a big man? the reason I asked is that I've met him several times and he's well over 6 feet. TV must make you look short or something. LOL

& Marley,
I did not attack his beliefs. I stated they are different from mine and I stand by that. As far as Hannity goes, I never said he wasn't a "bigger" man than that. I simply said I doubted very much he admired him. I doubt you watch Hannity so I really do t know how you can have such a strong opinion about him or how he feels.... Haha! Point is I have my beliefs, you have yours and it doesn't matter. The only reason I have taken my time to respond to you is to clarify my words you have twisted which has been a total waste of my time because you seem to endorse all the things I am so against. I never said I was against paying taxes. I am proud and thankful I have a good job but I will say I am tired of paying for people who choose not to work for years and expect taxpayers like me to flip your bill. So there, twist those words.

I can see good in people Marley but my instincts tend to tell me to run when I see evil.

A question I've posed to many...if two Christians are praying for exact opposite things, who wins. If you lose do you question God or believe that man is wrong?

A good father, leader of this country, a Christian would not put an ad such as this. I would be appalled if Romney endorsed this. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/10/26/girls-creator-lena-dunham-compares-voting-to-barack-obama-to-losing-virginity/?intcmp=features

@ Marley...I have no hatred for anyone nor would I EVER question God. A Christian can have different beliefs than others without hating. Maybe you are the hater, your words are proof of that or maybe you're just afraid if Romney is elected you may have to get a job!!!

I feel the hatred. I listen to it regularly from the Hannity, Rush, Boortz, etc. types. I haven't said one hateful thing yet about anyone. Please don't attack me, as you don't know what I have or don't. It shouldn't matter though as adults we should be able to have an intelligent conversation without passing judgement on someone because one perceives they are "better off" than another.

I don't agree with Romney or Obama on everything. But I've come to disagree with people based on what they show me. If he has not earned your trust, then that's on him. If you never gave him a chance, that's on you. The latter is hate...and it is curable only through Christ's intervention.

Oh now Marley don't care or have an opinion or she isn't even defending Obama....hmmm. A. She can't defend that ad. B. she doesn't have a daughter or C. No respect for women. As a woman I am offended, as a mother I am appalled, having a daughter I feel the girl was exploited. Marley, won't you go ask Hannity what he thinks of the video/ad? Fi x News is all over it. I don't think many can honestly say they admire him for this.

You already regurgitate what Hannity says about this video. And you don't have to admire this, many wouldn't. But you can't say that he has no admirable traits.

@ Rex. So glad you said that. I just didn't want to be the one. Seems the truth hurts. Romney/Ryan will prevail!!!

I suggest everyone read "The Price of Politics" by Bob Woodward of "All the Presidents Men" fame. He goes into the inter-workings of how the White House under President Obama worked to solve the nations financial crisis. President Obama promised in his campaign to work with Republicans to bring about a successful solution to the United States problems. If we are going to solve our problems, we must solve them together. President Obama and his staff have been very inept in working with not only Republicans but also at times with his fellow democrats. Mitt Rommey has a record of working with Democrats in Mass. to bring about positive change. Again, I challenge you to read the book.

I started out voting against Obama. After learning more about Romney, I am excited to vote for him. I don't care for Obama's ego or shady practices among other things. I like what I have seen from Romney. At least he has run a business and knows how to budget. He may not be the perfect candidate, but who would be? I will be proud to cast my vote for some R & R for this country.

Agreed karen. @ marley - then why do you listen to them? I neither have FOX news on cable nor do I listen to them anymore- especially hannity. he's always arguing. I do like Erik Erickson. He seems pretty balanced. I research online and listen to good trusted people like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Larry Elder. They are black, which gives me a unique perpsective in this campaign that for some wierd reason is always about race (deosn't have to be).Those guys are black and conservative. I seldom here rhetoric, but just plain old common sense coupled by Sowell's expertise in economics. Try that. You may enjoy some good reading.

It is hard to imagine someone saying Mitt Romney has integrity, cares about the middle class, has an economic plan, will allow women choice, care about millions without healthcare, should I go on. It has astounded me, how racist Caucasians will vote against their own interests economically, just so they can vote the black president out. Trickle down did not work under Regan, Bush 1, Bush 2 nor will it work under Romney. Economic inequality will certainly continue.

Raul - you are so wrong about the race issue, so wrong. I wanted Condoleeza Rice on the ticket with Romney. In the very beginning, I was a Herman Cain supporter. Finally, how do you know my race? You can take race off the table - FAST. I do believe Romney has integrity, I have seen no evidence of anything different. I don't agree with ALL his views, but I do believe he has the best interest of this country in mind. I don't agree with Obama's policies. Programs that used to be safety nets are now a way of life and there is no sign of that changing. The Libya issue speaks for itself - what an attempted cover up. Movie - right. Anyway, like I said, I will be proud to vote for Romney this year.

Karen - those who call out race so much are the very ones that see you and everyone through those glasses. How awful it must be to be that judgemental! I remember after obama was elected, black and white people began smiling at each other. So many (whites) were proud that some walls might have come down and proud for their (black) neighbors. BUT, as MLK and I believe Thomas Sowell once said, equality means that you get judged by the same stick. If you do well, you get praised, if not, you get criticized. Those who are willing to think critically (for the sake of the country and ALL Americans) have moved on. Those who continually cry "racist" have not. It is that simple. It's unfortunate that he has those blinders on. You won't change his mind, so move on and debate others who will talk about issues.

First of all the creator of this blog states in his opening statement that Obama had a Republican controlled house this last four years...wrong, he had a democratic controlled house the first two years, please lets not forget he shoved Obama care down our throats. Just like garbage in Gwinnett County, the citizens of this country will have no say in their health care, yes it is coming to that!

Obama promised to bring back bipartisan to both the house and Senate, wrong again! I don't know if Romey can bring back bipartisan but any change will be much better than the Marxists in the office now. No balanced budget ever??? Is this a first by any President not to have a balanced budget the first 3-years in office? The list could go on forever here but all you have to do is read above this blog at the countless hundreds above to get the rest of the story.

Hey 24B, looks as if you found one little mistake on my part, or did you? The guy is a Marxist regardless. He promotes government over private sector and will do anything to enforce his form of government, so before you get your panties in a wad, ask yourself, do I want government controlling my life at every turn!!! If you are too weak to make your own decisions in life, then by all means vote for your buddy, Obama.

Look 24B, as part of the main stream media I expect you to biased as is just about every other ex newspaper writer out there. That is why you now write blogs! Go figure that someone as informed as you seam to be, can't figure out why us business owners will not vote Obama...To us the choice is simple!

Reg - Thanks for mistaking me for an ex-journalist! I'm actually an accountant. (Who'da thunk?)

Your last response brings us back to my original question. You're obviously motivated to vote against Obama, as opposed to voting for Romney. The intent of this blog was to discover what specifics about Romney's plans excite voters who actually are motivated by those specifics, as opposed to being motivated by Obama.

Thus far, there hasn't really been a meaningful answer to that question.

But since I can't seem to figure out why business owners will not vote for Obama, please, be specific and explain it to me. I keep hearing about record profits. On March 6, 2009, the Dow closed at 6,469. Today it closed at 13,107, more than doubling during that time.

Several have said he has a budget proposal. Obama has yet to have one nor did he in the last four years. He is a successful businessman. His proof is in the pudding. He is against socialized healthcare. He is for working with our Ali's to create peace and fund our military to keep America safe. He is an American!

Reg - tht was a great explanation and the same one I hear from other business owners (among other reasons).

Our household consists of 3 registered voters. We voted Romney. We, being small business owners, represent our reason(others, but small business #1) for our vote for Romney.
