I am a fiscal conservative and am socially moderate. I see Romney as no different than Obama. Both are big spenders they just want to spend on different things. Obama wants to spend on social programs, green energy and infrastructure. Romney wants to spend on tax cuts for the rich and the military.

I am sick of voting for these big spenders for president. My vote was for Gary Johnson. Yeah he has some crazy views but he is the only one who believes in cutting spending. But my vote won't matter one of these big spenders will run up more debt in the next 4 years. The country will eventually have to pay the piper and people 40 and under will get screwed so we can play world police or build bridges to no where.

Sort of. I'm fiscally conservative but socially moderate. Was going to vote for Johnson, but I'm in a battleground state so I voted for Obama. I can't stomach the thought of the right wing social agenda trying to take us backward.

The same. And I'd add directly about Romney:

The man is exactly like Hillary. He would walk up to one person who is holding a Ford Rulz Chevy Drulz sign, say he too loves Fords, can't stand Chevy's. Then 5' away, another guy is holding a Chevy Rulz Ford Drulz sign. Romeny would walk up to him and say he too loves Chevys, can't stand Fords.

He will literally say anything to get a vote. Is Obama the Politician much different? I honestly believe, not a whole lot - but, at least a little. And he does it more slickly, which could be useful as POTUS.

Voted Johnson, I'm at peace with that decision even though I have some definite issues with some of his policy positions.

Fiscal conservative, social liberal -- GOP hasn't had a real conservative in my adult lifetime and they're all batshit insane and/or religious fanatics now, so I'm forced to vote DEM in an attempt to keep the crazies at bay. Pre-2008 McCain had "some" character, Romney has none, so it is what it is. We'll see what we have in 2016.. more shit I'm sure.

Since I live in California my vote doesn't count in the Presidential election. I voted Stein-Green Party in the hopes that the Green Party continues to grow and continues to split votes away from the Democrats. I'd like to see a replay of the 2000 or 2004 elections where the Green Party helped in the defeat of the Democrats.

Yes, I actually voted for Jill Stein, mainly because I'm in a red state, and voting for Obama is futile. I figure my vote would count more when I vote for a 3rd party--to actually use my vote to show support for a party that I think is quite progressive.

Most of my voting life has been rather conservative leaning, but these recent years, the the crazy has become rather strong with the GOP. I would have been a McCain supporter in 08 if it wasn't for his choice of running-mate, and Romney does not look like a politician you can trust and depend on.

Yep, Voted Gary Johnson.

The current people running the republican party are nuts. Romney never really gave any details on how he would run the country yet expected me and others to vote for him, yea right.

I want REAL smaller Gov, not another version of Big Gov that the current republican party wants.

Same here. If I voted for Obama I could never say "sorry" enough to my kids and grandkids on my death bed.

I'm a liberal that didn't vote for Obama. I wrote in Hillary Clinton to try and atone for our previous mistake.

Same, except Gary Johnson wasn't on our ballot, I left President blank. :(

Voted Gary Johnson to send a message to the GOP. Otherwise my vote wouldn't have mattered since Romney will easily win the state.

yep i put down johnson as well. . .im in CA so a vote for anyone other than Obama doesn't count and I like most of what Johnson stands for.. ..if i were in a battleground state i'd have had to vote for romney to avoid the Peoples Socialist Republic of America from becoming the dominant world power under the Obama regime

Yup, but didn't vote. For similar reasons as above I simply don't care for the big dogs on either side and on a more basic level I don't agree with our system in its current state (even how we vote). They say you can't whine about the government if you don't vote, but I can't change what I want to so why bother?

Voted for Obama and every Democrat on the ticket not affiliated with the Liberty Movement. Didn't care one iota of who they were or what they stood for.

Why? I'm an angry Paul Supporter :p

I'm conservative on some issues, liberal on others.
Romney disgusts me.
I cant honestly say I'd rather have Obama, but he's gonna win anyway. I voted Libertarian, just like always.

Also, I kinda would like Obama to be a two-termer so years from now he can be properly hated. Fuck that dude. And fuck his menagerie of sycophants.
