Election of Obama vs Romney
My Views on the Election In the upcoming presidential election, the standpoints on many topics are opposites. Mitt Romney is the Republican, and Barack Obama is the Democrat. Their views on three things are very drastically different: same-sex marriage, abortion, and immigration. When it comes to same-sex marriage, Obama and Romney’s standpoints are very different. Obama has affirmed that he thinks same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. Romney on the other hand, thinks that marriage should only be between a male and female. Romney has even got to the extent of making or supporting amendments that are against same-sex marriage. When it comes to abortion, Romney and Obama’s overall opinion leads to the same outcome, but one’s opinion is stronger than the other’s. Obama believes strongly that abortion is a woman’s reproductive right, and it is the woman’s right to choose. Romney used to be a pro-life governor who did not want women to be able to have abortions, but more recently changed his views and has decided to allow abortion. Personally, he still states that he opposes abortion, but has become pro-choice. Finally, another thing that these potential presidents differ on is immigration. Romney is more focused on building a border fence. He also said that he wants to get citizenship for those who have served in the United States Military and the children who were forced without consent.

Obama’s more focused on giving people thirty years of age or older citizenship, as long as they have either gotten a high school diploma or served in the United States Military. While each of the candidates have points and beliefs that I agree with, if I was eighteen years old and able to vote at the upcoming election, my vote would be for Barack Obama. He seems to have good view points, a lot that are very similar to Mitt Romney, the thing that really pushed me over the edge on voting for Obama was his views on same-sex marriage. Personally, I am

    The election had surprises for both sides. On the Republican side most people were surprised Donald Trump was elected Republican Nominee. On the Democratic side, everyone was surprised on how long it took for Hillary Clinton to beat the unknown senator Bernie Sanders. These two are the exact opposites. Trump believes that we should build a wall between Mexico and the United States, and Mexico will pay the bill. He also says that he will temporarily ban Muslim immigrants from certain countries. Clinton, on the other hand,…

    Mitt Romney has the best on the ground organization, the best fund raising arm, and the best skill set to come across well on camera and on stage. He creates the impression of a strong, decisive leader except its pretty clear that a number of his opponents have been somewhat more successful at creating jobs and running their States. Mitt Romney may appear to be the ultimate candidate but other candidates have proven themselves to be strong leaders and have produced excellent results. The real difference between former Governors Buddy Roemer, Gary Johnson and Mr. Romney is they can't poll above 1% nationally and Mitt Romney has been a front runner from the inception of his campaign. That speaks volumes about Mitt Romney' organizational and leadership skills.…

    Mitt Romney is running for President again. Though technically unannounced, the news effectively became public last on the 16th of this month, when Romney just happened to let it slip that he was “seriously considering” another campaign, having said previously that he would make a decision within “weeks, not months.” When a US politician purports to be “considering” a run, it usually means they’ve already started buying up White House-width curtain rails.…

    I am an independent voter, but even I can tell flip-flops and politicians do not go well together. As for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, one may need to second guess the correlation of the two. Extensive research of the two candidates running for presidency in the 2012 election led me to conclude Mitt Romney cannot be depended on to keep a definitive opinion, on how he plans to approach certain issues our nation faces. His character displays indecisiveness over and over again surrounding a few specific issues. The only thing he seems to be sure about is his political party status, a Republican, and his membership in the 1% club. Romney seems to be for or against any issue based on the majority opinion, so he can get the most votes. A few examples on the nation’s issues in which Romney has proven to “flip-flop,” are abortion rights, gun-control, and immigration laws.…

    Reasoning is a process we go through everyday. We reason weather we chose to eat an apple rather than a banana or if we should take the bus or walk. During the elections the American people seek reasoning on both sides: from themselves and from the candidates. The candidates for the election, Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama both interpret as much reasoning behind each argument to make it seem as realistic and achievable to the people. The voters apply reasoning to the arguments and plans put forward by the candidates to see which one seems to be most beneficial for their own interest as well as the interest of their families and that of the American population. In the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney was a key figure and was according to most Americans the dominant figure in the debate. He had…

    In fact, there are many similar ideas expressed in both speeches. For example, they are both focused on the internal problems such as state’s economy, taxes, ecological problems, employment, and education. In addition, they also include different foreign policy issues. Thus, Obama analyzes war in Iraq, international economy and its export and import goals, and highlights on the main areas the United States needs to strengthen cooperation with.…

    Learning how to gain the attention of viewers by evoking emotions out of their audience. So, before viewing a deceiving advertisement or a biased article about either candidate, try to watch the full interview or the full debate before someone else’s opinion steers you in the wrong direction. As well as most media outlets do not even give their readers insight on what the candidates’ plans for the future are. I do not think the right topics are being discussed. The media just talks about past accusations and what has happened rather than what will happen, or what the plans for the future are. We live in a time period where technological advances can give us substantial benefits for the future, however these candidates are not questioned on these important matters. Instead of asking either candidate what they did 7 – 10 years ago, why not ask either of them what technological improvements will they dedicate to their presidential term that will impact energy, vaccine cures for diseases that have haunted this world for 2,000+ years and future epidemics, educational technology, as well as overall well…

    Throughout the midwest the votes were predominantly for Mitt Romney; subsequently, the east and west coast were all in favor of Barak. Obama had won the electoral votes for all of the swing states besides North Carolina, in which Mitt won by a 2% margin. In Kansas there were only two counties whom votes were in favor of Obama, the rest of the state was in support of Romney; however, Kansas’s electoral vote is only worth 6 points. The Electoral College gave Obama a much larger lead (61.7%) rather than the actual popular vote (51.01%) would have. Through this election I learned how important the swing states are when candidate’s campaign, and the need for their electorate vote to win the election.…
