Each to their own I suppose, but I think Palin is a complete fruitcake. Can't imagine why anyone would vote for her. I'd also go further and suggest that most Americans probably wouldn't either.
Obama will get my vote this time, since if Twit Romney gets in there will be big trouble. For one thing, that idiot will follow Netanyahu into a war with Iran as soon as he starts one. And he will, just as soon as he's convinced the US will offer its full support. I'm quite sure that Romney will say and do whatever he thinks will get him into office.
If the US invades Iran, I think that will pretty much be the end of the US as the world's sole superpower.
I'd have liked to have believed that in our democratic system, an idiot like Bush Jr or Romney would have been removed from the vetting process at an early stage, but the bitter reality is that any idiot can survive to any stage of the presidential race with the right spin and backing. Even if Romney doesn't win, it will most likely be very close.
Says a lot really, when the best we seem to have to offer to lead a main political party are the likes of Romney/Akin. I think the US is a democracy only in name. Representative republic seems more accurate (imo).
That's not to say we're any better in the UK however. Both systems are far from perfect. Problem is, nothing ever seems to change.
Anyway, I don't believe and nor have I ever believed that Obama is/was the savior many have made him out to be, but I think he's the lesser of two evils in this case.
If Romney wins the election then I will be very concerned, as will many people.
