I am enjoying being a passive observer regarding the 2012 USA ELECTION Year. Highlights for me was watching a WHACK A MOLE skit on how Mitt Romney was facing so many republican candidates at the beginning of the year, waiting anxiously for the SUPER TUESDAYS results as I wasn't very confident this time round in forecasting a front runner for SUPER TUESDAY and watching the entertaining Puerto Rico Primary play out, which I think was staged so Mitt Romney could win. and the etch a sketch vs politics nz.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/article/-/13243796/political-gaffe-revives-us-love-affair-with-etch-a-sketch/I will forecast that Mitt Romney will win the Republican Nomination to take on Obama and that the Republicans have already chose him what you are seeing until the final results is all staged with the benefit of appearing a competitive race. I am secretly rooting for the GRINCH (newt gingrich) as it would nice to see the GRINCH steal XMAS and it be fun watching him be the president of the USA, something very hilarious to watch. Obama vs Romney?= remember Al Gore vs Bush? most likely go to a recount and who has the balls to steal the election during this recount stage. Belief IS Reality Loki Dreaming

I'd love to see Mitt take on Obama b/c I can see him beating him by a landslide. but most of the American public doesn't care about their country like I do and will most likely vote for Obama again just because he's black and he talked about the trayvon martin shooting which is now becoming racially fueled by activists.
I'll admit that many of my fellow Americans are ignorant and or just plain stupid. why would they elect a man that has said "I think the constitution is an imperfect document and should be modified" -Obama-
I think Mitt stands for what this country was founded on. I'm pretty sure he's all for the second amendment but I could be wrong. unlike Obama who thinks by taking guns away from the public, that he'll create peace. but what he doesn't seem to realize is that Americans were given guns to protect themselves. and to take a stand against a tyrannical government and destroy them and start over.
I'm all for Mitt winning and I do believe he has a better chance than any other candidate.

Zohzst, Ra T’zahr,
I would like you to go in more depth in why you support Romney and why Romney will win as from where I am you are coming across you sound like an uneducated voter who is reacting to the hype around them, so I don't really believe you are supporting Romny for the right reasons.
My apologies If I come across too bluntly.
Believe IS Reality Loki Dreaming
ps:-to the others, who you want to see win and why?

I'm all for Mitt winning and I do believe he has a better chance than any other candidate. President Obama doesn't want to take your guns away. Yes, the 2nd amendment allows us to bear arms, but we still need laws and regulation. The Treyvon Martin tragedy is a perfect example of our flawed system, just as the issue of our affordable health care act needing review shows that the Supreme Court might just be as supreme as my favorite Orange Julius drink at the mall. In other words, not very.
Barack Obama was a Constitutional scholar before becoming a politician. He, of all people, should know if that centuries old document needs clarification or updating. Obama is the leader of the free world and deserves our support. All around, he's the best man for the job.
I would love to bet you that Obama does not lose by a landslide to Romney. How about $1,000. If Romney wins the Presidency by more than 5%, then I'll gladly pay you a thousand bucks. If he doesn't, then you pay me the same. Deal?

I support the second amendment due to that is a powerful symbol of the free spirit and freedom itself, to take away ones right to bare arms is in a way giving full control (mostly symbolically) away to the government which I disagree with.
The public health system, that is a tricky issue.
In New Zealand we have mainly got a public health system which is funded by the government and only a few go through health insurance and private practices, I prefer to go through the health insurance and private practice route.
I reckon the best and also due to the public health system experience I have had the solution is to have a mixture of public and private health care; in which the public health sector are for top ups (for the poor who cannot access full health insurance or for those who have recently got unemployed).
Having a fully subsidized health system is not the way to go for obvious reasons.
I would like to see Obama win a second term as I am very nervous of the racial repercussions of ethnic minorities getting elected into term if Obama does not get a second term as having ethnic diversity is very important in politics.
I am also suffering a heavy heart as I know that it would be a very close race between Romney and Obama and I know that Romney has the got the odds to go the distance.
The only way Obama can win is something seriously goes wrong with Romneys campaign.
Why is the Republican Election Campaign so beeping ruthless at smear campaigning? Getting a bit sick of the Republicans dirty campaign tactics.
Beleif IS Reality Loki Dreaming
ps:-Still sulking Obama beat Hilary CLintion.
pss:-Am waiting for a 3rd party to come in and take over USA politics.

Belief IS Reality Loki Dreaming i respet your opinion but calling me an uneducated voter whilst you are "secretly" wanting gingrich to win and think it would be funny to see him run the United States. how I stand is that i would rather have either 1st Ron Paul and 2nd Mitt Romney than Obama again. his unemployment rates are going through the roof. because he's too focused on his healthcare reform. I don't come off to seem irrational to people it's just my opinion.

Truth be told it won't matter. The government has no power its the rich few calling all the shots. All they do is distract people and act like a scapegoat while voting peoples rights away. Political parties mean nothing its the same thing either way. Mass corruption and greed has taken over the government and no matter who says what it wills that unless a new system is made and completely clear the board.

Why do people blame others and other organizations for their problems?
Most of the problems people face is due to their own making and should take individual responsibility to help themselves first.
Yes, I do agree that some banking practices and dodgy government decisions have added to the make situations worse, but still if you remove these factors, it still comes down to the individual.
So when people accuse one party of making the country worse, I am just like PFFFT and those all succumb to all the scare mongering PC campaigns the parties parrot....shame on you.
eg, the USA payment deadlines and all the scare tactics the parties were going on about, those who know about financial stuff knows that it would never reach that point then. They were just puffing steam to get browny points from the stupid idiotic voters vote. I am still not amused by their scare tactics campaign on this matter as it was very unnecessary and OTT.
How is the scare tactics helpful when in some cases they will drive certain share prices and commodities down therefore putting more pressure on the economy and more pressure on the current government?

I have to agree with Obama on this, as it does feel like the 2nd ammendment is dying slowly for the stupidest reasons (like banning lying about military service) but it will still be abused as all laws are. Ban or not, the people who carry guns will still carry guns.

I have got my fingers crossed that The GAY MARRIAGE card that has been played by the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION works as if this does not work, I think I am going to explode in RAGE, as if it fails, it will put back certain progress several years.
In plain English, this is a very dangerous ALL IN GAMBLE.

theweek.com/article/index/226211/the-trayvon-martin-case-a-timeline ^ Trayvon Martin case - time-line.
There is plenty of gun regulation and control, the point is guns are used to maim or fatally wound a person. People who choose to bear arms, claim it's their right, it's for their protection but the fact remains (see crime statistics in the U.S.) the regulation doesn't deter crime. What constitutes a 'crime' is in how the law is interpreted and used (the role of the Judicial system), and enforced by Law enforcement.
If a person feels justified in shooting a person, they will shoot. What happens next is a matter of circumstance.
The media spins the details of a case so out of control, it's nearly impossible to get an unbiased trial by peers in this country.
So while there are 'rights' (<- an illusion), there are always loop holes to take those 'privileges' (<-a more appropriate term) away.
For example:
1. A 'right' to vote.
2. A 'right' to bear arms.
If it's a right, then why are there conditions set upon them? How can this right be revoked?
All of these systems in place to maintain order and control are completely fucked, but we operate in spite of this. There are 'acceptable' levels of infraction, but when the prisons are over-flowing and the tax payers foot the bill - I say it's not working. The idea of incarceration is to remove abhorrent people from society. That same society decides it's immoral to just kill them, so they house them and manage them in closed facilities which are cultures unto themselves. This is mercy? This is not cruel and unusual? And yet, we are wholly corrupt in our own culture but the 'law-abiding' can feel self-righteous and believe it's providing an ideal environment for people to prosper in.
I disagree.
At what point does the American people acknowledge that government is no longer governing but instead using it's power and control to keep people as orderly and complacent as possible?
When do the levies break?
We can certainly endure a few more mediocre administrations, not much changes. Same shit, different flies.
