I don't have a great deal of time (or patience) to follow politics, but I can't help but be disheartened when I see the canvas of the 2012 election being painted by ultra conservative individuals who desire to set the country back years in the name of "progress."
President Obama has been the
1st president to support equal rights for same sex unions. President Obama successfully led the
repeal of DADT. These are likely 2 reasons that
reactionary conservatives may vote
against Obama. You see, a vote
for Romney may be in many cases more accurately a vote
against Obama. The lesser of 2 evils as it were. What ever happened to the
separation of church and state
anyway?
Here is an article
why some people will be voting for Obama. I am looking for real
reasons why conservatives will be voting for Romney. Many conservative voters have historically been evangelical Christians. How do mainstream Christians
feel about Romney being a
Mormon? Well, as I said above, it seems like a conservative may just vote for anyone who is against any gay rights issues.
Here is a link for
a fairly current map of how the electoral votes currently fall in favor of each candidate. Time will tell how the
polls eventually shake out, and what actually happens in the November 2012 vote.
