Thinking Out Loud - Why Romney is the Unlikely Better Choice

I've been thinking a lot about the upcoming election lately, as I'm sure most everyone is. People are always ripping on Obama about how he's destroying the economy and how he's doing such a bad job. First off, anyone who actually follows this regularly and has been for not just this election but many elections in the past will know the economy was going to be bad this term no matter who was in office and Obama actually has done a lot of good things economically. What people never seem to bring up though, which I find funny seeing as this is what I would consider horrible governing, is the fact that he's signed bills like NDAA after saying he doesn't support it and how he bailed out all those companies during the economic collapse. Honestly, if a multi-million dollar corporation is running themselves in an unsustainable, greedy way when they fall apart they deserve it. That's how capitalism works. And what kind of message does it send when a corporation that runs itself into the ground doesn't suffer the consequences, not the CEO and executives obviously they're fine, but the company actually is bailed out by the american tax-payer. Would you willingly give your money to a corporate bigwig because he greedily ran his company into the ground? I think not. Now that being said I don't feel Romney is a better choice than Obama, but if Obama is re-elected it's going to be four more years of corporate control just like it always has been. With Romney in charge it's possible, however slightly, that we will have elected a man so bad that he runs the country into the ground. We're past the point of moving forward. All there is left for us now is to wipe the chalkboard clean and start again. I feel that is not only the best option, but the only feasible option for long-term growth. So if you happen to be voting this election, don't vote for Obama who will promise change and bring mediocrity and staleness, vote Romney. A vote for Romney is a vote for a new start, because before we can take two steps forward we need to take a step back. A big step back. People will finally realize just how bad things are and maybe, just maybe, actually do something about. 

I mean seriously, look at this guy. Looks like the end of capitalism to me.
