I like how you say this is this doesn't hold any importance at all. It is important because if you choose any of the crazy right GOP, or Romney in this case, the rights for the gays becomes restricted even more by people Romney or Rynn. They're letting religion(Mormon or Christianity, however you hold it) as well as the influence of the GOP to restrain a person civil rights. When you take away a person's rights, that tells you big time that this party or candidate means bad news. I have yet to hear any political standings on Obama's side where he trying to restrict the rights of a person base on someone's sex orientations, ethnicity, race, religion, etc.

Most of use know which media is the liberal media and which is the conservative media. You said over and over again to "look both side of the situation." "stop reading liberal media." and yet you seems to not take that advice yourself only except instead of liberal it's conservative. So far I only seen you post conservative blogs/opinion pages/ news media outlet, which is just as bad, if not worse than, as the liberal media.
No one here is denying Obama isn't the greatest president ever or that he's the best thing to go for, however when you stack him up against Romney who, in judging from his speeches and interviews, Obama is a much better choice even if you dislike him. In fact many conservative are beginning to find Romney a bad choice and doesn't seems to have his things straight(hence why people are starting to see him as a "flip-flopper"), He's a noob in foreign policy, he more times than not gave many indications of wanting to support the rich much more than the middle class or the poor, he's out of touch of any class outside of the rich like the recent quote of his at the private wealthy fundraiser saying
he could not hope to win the votes of the 47 percent of Americans who, he said, do not pay federal income taxes, Doesn't seems to want to show the American people his income tax returns, something that is important when trying to choose a president. And so forth.
The problem with Obama is that he can't get the republicans to work with him and doesn't have the growing balls to shut them up and wake them up from their little child-like partisan quibble. The fact the GOP will do any thing to reject anything Obama propose, even one that is actually beneficial the the country, shows how torn apart the American country is.
But anyway, for me, I mostly follow BBC, which is probably the most unbias news media of them all.

Oh I have but when you compare the two of the things the GOP have done or said in comparison to what the Dems have said or done, The dems misgivings isn't as monumental.

I think that's something you yourself need to take advice on. Except in your case you need to take off "your tin foil hats"

This is interesting you say that, considering the many of the things the GOP does IS trying to define it. The gay marriage issue is a good one.

That is some all of us love to believe and go by but sad fact is, that's not the reality. But however, this isn't lies in the fault the government only, this also lies mostly in the fault of the business corporations who lobby the political parities(or rather puppeteer) which in turn then affect the outcome of the party's beliefs standings which then affect the people of America. The first thing that need to go is the lobbying.

And yet the GOP seems to been trying to restrict people's rights (gays and lately women in some states).

One hand yes you're right that money is yours and your families, however, you also live in this country and also as fellow American should contribute in helping America as a whole as well. We live by individual rights but we also live by united nation and sometimes you have give and take in order to help the country. If what you find the government doing isn't good, then come up with solutions or figure out something that should be done in the situation and send message about it. (in your example you made, the welfare.) Whining and bawwwwing isn't doing anything.

This is something needs to be done but don't think this is a liberal/dems thing. It's also a GOP thing and the degree they take to is much much worse. As I said eariler first thing need to be done is get rid of lobbying and corporation businesses interfering/controlling political stance for their own selfish greed.

So does the conservative media, especially FOX. I dunno how you could even take FOX seriously.

I like how you always bring this up in your posts. It's as if you're implying that being older means you know better and more than any of us and thus hold more truth and validations than any of us.

I think you need to look up definition of dictator again. Because last time I check Obama not a dictator.
. The Liberal Media didn't make up Romney openly admitting that he doesn't care about nearly half of the American people.
