On the other hand, what has he done that is SO FUCKING TERRIBLE that you hoodleheads HAVE to get off the listening chair for the first time ever to MAKE DAMN SURE HE DOESN'T GET A SECOND TERM? Really: what is it?
Well, he isn't a terrible hurricane of disorder or anything. But, seeing as we are 'conservatives' in the true sense of the words he does stand against everything we believe in. I'm not slinging mud at others opinions, some want a lot of change and to leave the old ways behind. Some of us do not. That's why we do these vote thingies.
No matter how you cut he, he goes very much against traditional American values.
Ie: Certainly universal healthcare is a wonderful thing in theory and has worked (a bit) elsewhere, but at what cost to the traditional American mindset that I have always loved? Sure I may be an idealist but that is fine with me.
For instance; if you where psychic and could tell me right now that taking away the 2nd Amendment would lower violent crime and homicide to 0% for instance, I would still say that it is the wrong choice to make.
Also, back to the universal health-care and other social programs: I can see their benefit, but what disgusts me is their acceptance. Wellfare should be something you strive to get OFF of, not something you attempt to maintain. Same with unemployment, health care (here in MA we have a quasi-social health system as you mentioned), etc.
The prevailing mindset in my locale is that of acceptance, flowers, 'laid back', everyone-get-along, try to make life as easy as possible, etc.
So, I suppose it's just hard for me to put it into a perspective of productiveness, American-ness, etc. instead of just a bit of 'change' that people want to make their view of Peace, Love, Unity/Coexist one step closer to reality.
Oh, and no I am NOT AT ALL saying Romney is some sort of model American. I'm merely playing devil's advocate in this argument at the moment. And doing a fairly shitty job at it as I just devolve into rants as usual.
