TheVerge - Last year, I quit my job at AOL and Engadget to join a small internet publishing startup and build what would become The Verge and Vox Media. After a lot of hard work, I am proud to say The Verge has been a success — we have hired, invested, and grown during what remains a massive recession.
I was expecting some reports on this story & was ready with an explanation, that why this story should be on TechSpy. Guess that won't be needed anymore. =]
Why I'm not happy with the idea of more Obama:
NDAA, ACTA, won't label China a currency manipulator (much worse than Romney for just having his distant securities doing things), Libya (hypocrisy on his promises to not get involved in civil wars), lack of action on immigration, healthcare that comes with idiotic amounts of bloating and earmarks (along with foolish limitations), foreign support we can't afford (and to countries like Brazil and India that don't need it). Not to mention the exponentially increasing debt and fact that he could barely rally congress when democrats owned it (and used that time to push out the unfinished, bloated healthcare bill).
I would have taken Ron Paul, but that's a no go and I think he's heading towards retirement. There were at least 2 democrats that I liked more in the 2008 primaries, too.
Feel free to argue, but don't get belligerent because our views differ. I'm reasonable enough to have a real discussion if you want one. And if you call me a Republican, I will bite your jugular. I'm a Libertarian realistic enough to know that a third party has no chance because the Government doesn't give them the same amenities.
The thing I find odd that you failed to mention is, every issue you have with Obama would be compounded and increased 2-fold with, Romney.
Have you actually been paying attention? Have you not heard his plans? Have you not seen his actual voting history? The only parts of America that will grow with him in charge are the parts that don't need to be growing. Which is why we have an issue now.
Don't pretend like Romney, would be some God send because he wont be. He destroyed Massachusetts' economy and over spent when they were already in the red. These are the same things people blame, Obama for.
Which is also hilarious seeing as it was Bush, who caused this snowballing of, America.
Obama, has had 4 years to fix 8 years of compounded issues and trash. You don't get rid of 8 years worth of debt and nonsense in 4 years. You can't. Obama, can't and Romney will continue to make it worst.
I find it funny that you as a Libertarian, would even imply that any of the issues we have are caused by, Obama. It's been the Republicans who've caused 89% of the debt. Obama, is one man. Against how many seats of, The House? Those same seats that want nothing more than to have their pockets lined and their over full bellies to be fed more.

That's because that isn't true. Romney was against SOPA/PIPA (by extension, ACTA). Romney is for treating China as the currency manipulators that they are, working with other free nations to negotiate with China. He's for cracking down on immigration. People challenge him on Iran, but that's a clear stability issue (unlike Libya). And he already has experience with healthcare problems (issues ignored when drafting Obamacare). He is for cutting foreign aid to countries that don't need it.

How does "I wanted Ron Paul, I liked two other democrats in the primaries" equate to "Mitt is a godsend"?
"Obama, has had 4 years to fix 8 years of compounded issues and trash. You don't get rid of 8 years worth of debt and nonsense in 4 years"

So exponential increase is EXPECTED in the first four years, then?
You rant about how Republicans caused all the debt, how they only care about becoming richer, blah blah blah....you're clearly not a person that knows things beyond the silly political cartoon stereotypes.
"Obama, is one man"

No, he is an entire administration. He doesn't work alone in the White house and those people are a major part of all of his decisions. He sent more troops because he was advised to. He got involved in Libya because he was advised to.
Sadly, your response was exactly the sort of thing I expected; an outburst of labels and assertions directed at me that aren't formed by logic from what I actually said. It's exactly what happens when you debate politics with the average person.
EDIT:
Another 4 years of economic suicide! HOORAY!
