What really makes me sad is that 40-45% of the country is happily going to vote for R+R just to try to punish their neighbors.
How does a vote for Romney punish your neighbors?
Just because you are supportive of a smaller federal government does not mean you do not care about your neighbor and others in your community. It's divisive comments like that from both sides that prevent opposing viewpoints from coming together to solve some of the big problems of this and future generations.
Conservatives call liberals socialists who want to destroy America. Liberals call conservatives hateful and herp-a-derp. The extreme talking points and spin on both sides prevents meaningful debate that might actually result in some solutions.

No, people are voting for Romney and Ryan because Obama is clueless about the economy.

Were you making a joke, or do you genuinely not understand that what Obama said there is completely accurate? The private sector has shown decent growth over the last few years, whereas the public sector has continued to shed jobs due to lack of government funds. That's the biggest drag on employment, and Republicans really have proposed making the situation worse.

And good luck with that in this century.
What really makes me sad is that 40-45% of the country is happily going to vote for R+R just to try to punish their neighbors. It's a vicious mindset. Thank you for thinking above that.
