Do you think Obama or Romney will do one [snip] thing for mainstream Americans?

I see more welfare for the poor.

More corporate welfare. Bailouts.

More market manipulation. QE 3, 4, 5, and so on

A refusal to deal with illegal immigration.

More TSA, traffic stops, police insanity.

Undeclared military actions, kinetic actions, humanitarian bombing.

A three year pause in COLAs. Cost of living allotments.

And much more.

No politician anywhere, these days, does anything for the citizens who vote for them.

They only help the billionaires.

We do the voting and we do the choking!!!

Obama will try to help people while helping corporations and the republicans will block him. Romney will help corporations and the republicans will support him. Both roads lead to failure. One just takes longer.

This assumes the balanceof power remains the same in congress. With a democratic house and senate we could see more success IMO. With a split house and senate we get mostly gridlock. With a republican hose/senate we circle the drain immediately while the rich get richer.

We are doomed without real change.

Are either of these two going to do one G/D thing right for the remaining middle class of America?

Just one G/D thing?

Hell no!

I don't believe either will do anything...that's why I'm giving up this year...I'm not voting---say what you want..but, I'm not wasting my time.

Obama has tried to bring jobs back and tried to lower taxes for the middle class but the republicans keep blocking him.
