Why I Refuse to Vote for Mitt Romney (or Obama)
This article nails what I have been speaking about and feeling since this race took shape. The exert below is from the commentary linked.
Neither the Democratic nor the Republican candidate in this race is trustworthy or desirable as a leader. Obama is a left-leaning technocrat who habitually breaks his promises and is eager to assume near dictatorial powers in the realm of national security. He has little regard for the Constitution or the recklessness of the precedents that he's setting. And Romney? He's a right-leaning technocrat who unapologetically breaks his promises, is eager to assume near dictatorial national security powers, and has little regard for the Constitution. Each of these men would have you believe that it is imprudent to trust the other. Yet if their opponent wins, each is on record affirming that he is empowered to spy, detain and kill in secret, and to wage war without Congress. Given their willingness to confer those extreme powers, how deep can their mistrust really be?Source Stop over at TLC for more in depth discussion on politics and many other issues facing the US and the world.
