How do you feel about Romney's choice? Let us know in comments.
The reality is, if there were a lot more of 'us', center - X people in Congress today, this nation would be way, way better off for it. We could probably sit at a bar, watch a football and just discuss various issues and, for the most part, come to some level of consensus on many issues. However, the people who are hired to do this job, have failed - over and over again. There's a reason Congress's approval rating is consistently under 20%.

How long have the parties been arguing over abortion, gun rights, etc. in he end in the parties want you to chose a side, rather than the parties working out a compromise.
You really should turn off the Faux News and Limbaugh. Neither one is going to be thrown under the bus. Doctors from both sides of the aisle support it. http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/doctors_travelling_from_tampa_to_charlotte_calling_for_embrace_of_obamacare
So here are a few things I agree with Obama on. 1. Bowles/Simpson - he was on the right track, but neither side wants to be the first to take the political risk. 2. Discretionary spending. He is right that there is little meat left on the bone. The biggest problem is the way budgets are passed now. We run the government with large omnibus spending bills and spread cuts evenly throughout the government. What is needed to to go back to the days where a budget for each agency is passed separately. This would allow for debate over those programs that are duplicative and possibly not needed.
Not voting for a given candidate is not the same as a NOTA vote. A NOTA vote means you are there at the polls, and registering your dissatisfaction with the choices offered.
Honestly, my personal views are so different then either party today that I truly am my own political party. I see many measures 'conservatives' put in as ideas and conceptually they are good, but their implementation is horrific. Natural Gas, for example. Instead of investing in the tech to make it completely safe, they'd rather spend that money brainwashing people that it's safe enough now. Another hot button issue is stem cell research. The religious right insist no using embryonic stem cells. So don't fund ANY of it. Meanwhile, the funding that has gone to it, both through private and government grants, have just this month produced the first moderately successful of (essentially) embryonic stem cells from ADULT stem cells. It was just reported out of Hopkins. This is the beginning of the type of research that can save literally millions of lives down the line. There's just a middle ground that doesn't exist and hasn't for nearly a decade. Part of the problem, I suppose, is that when both parties were sharing middle ground in the decade previous, they helped drive this fine country into the epic ditch it's in now through mutual greed...

The comparison is easier than second grade math; Paul Ryan has actually submitted a budget plan for Congress to consider and President Obama plans to consider submitting http://www.shoesmallshop.com/an official budget at some point in the future. It is, however, quite challenging to compare something real that you can see, read, touch, and understand without the need for a teleprompter to a mythical budget plan that
