My election dilemma

It's almost just like 08 all over again. Ammo prices are rising, sold out everywhere, and just when I need some .223. Probably so with guns as well, I just haven't looked since I'm not in a position to buy.

So in 08 we had a choice. Nobody wanted Obama, but nobody wanted Mccain either. Ron Paul was the only good choice. Problem was that Ron Paul wasn't on the ticket, so we had to decide between voting for Obama, voting for Mccain to keep Obama from being elected, and writing in Ron Paul because that is who we really wanted to win. And Obama wins.

Now it's 12, and we have a choice. Nobody wants Obama, and nobody wants Romney either. Ron Paul is the only good choice. Problem is that he won't be on the ticket, I think, so we are stuck with the same issue. Vote Obama, and the country ends in 4 years or less. Vote Romney to keep the country alive for at least 4 years, but likely less than 8. Or write in Ron Paul, because that is the only person we really want. But somehow I do believe, Obama is still going to win.

So we fight and we war amongst ourselves. Vote Romney to keep Obama out. If enough people forget Romney and vote Ron Paul, we keep Obama and Romney out. To me, Obama and Romney are one in the same. The only real hope is Ron Paul.

But people can't see it. People won't change. They are stuck in this either or situation. Voting for the lesser of two evils. Even still, evil is still evil.

What it all comes down to I suppose, is do you want the country to end in 4 years, or 8? I wish I had written in Ron Paul last time. I voted Mccain to keep Obama out. And it failed. So why should I possibly try the same thing again, and still have Obama win? I am and have been set ever since my failure in 08 to write in Ron Paul this time.

But I have 1 reason and 1 reason only why I might at the very last second make the decision to vote for Romney, and that is just because I know Obama is on his last term. He has done enough already, but I am convinced he is saving his worst for last. Because now he has a chance at 4 more years, and he is free to do whatever he wants, without any consequences.

The end is coming. That I am sure. The only thing I cannot say is when. Perhaps the time is not here to choose the lesser of the evils, but to prepare for the inevitable.

    I think we need to kick the king out, spending is out of control.
    someone needs to stop the attack on our own energy.
    coal, oil, obamacare is killing job growth, no one wants to
    hire more people because the taxes are going to kill their companies.
    really do you have to think it over.
    our rights are being fought over, we have a king that apologizes to everyone, and he bows to everyone.
    we need to get on the right track, we sure arent heading in the right direction,

    This will probably get bumped over to "Politics" pretty quick. But generally speaking Obama is trying to take the nation to the same place that Greece and Spain are at now. It is arrogance pure and simple, you watch other people screw it up and are convinced you can do it better.

    Obamanism is going to breed Obamunists until he gets his Obamnation and eventually it will collapse on itself. Maybe the Chinese or the Saudis will be forced to bail out the U.S.

    If nothing else Romney is likely to get the U.S. to producing again and spur growth.

    It's a self-induced dilemma. Anyone capable of logic and reason can see where Obama's policies are taking us or know Ron Paul has absolutely NO CHANCE of winning thus returning Obama to the White House.

    At this stage, anyone who doesn't vote for Romney is part of the problem.

    I still think obama is going to try some crap at the last to stop an election, if he see's he is going to lose.
    coup early, his ideas are surely killing this country.

    No sense dragging this out any further than it needs to be.
