thevocalibertarian:

We hit 1% (1.1mm) of the vote on only $2 million dollars. Obama/Romney spent $1 BILLION each for 59.5mm and 56.9mm respective votes.  BO spent $16.78 per vote. MR spent $17.56 per vote. GJ spent $1.75 per vote.

How much did each vote cost the Presidential candidates? Thevocalibertarian breaks it down.

I don’t know if I want to give REP & DEM the finger and vote Johnson or the double finger and write-in Ron Paul.

Writing in Ron Paul just to piss off the Gary Johnson acolytes.

Ricardo’s the best. 

classical-liberal:

1. While Barack Obama has been in office he has added 6.5 trillion dollars to the national debt.[1] The debt to person ration is greater than 50,000 dollars and will burden our generation with paying it. The government has grown far too large and it is necessary to cut down on entitlement programs/military/enforcing unnecessary laws. Barack Obama claims that in the next 10 years we will be able to cut the debt down by 4 trillion. I don’t see why we should believe this when he has claimed he was going to address the debt while running in 07’/08’.[2] At best he wouldn’t even break even during his terms.
2. Barack Obama smoked marijuana and did cocaine in high-school but won’t even submit legislation to congress to legalize marijuana.[3/4] He has actually hypocritically cracked down on more MEDICAL marijuana dispensaries than the Bush administration.[5] Do you think Obama’s life would have been better if he would have been caught smoking marijuana or doing cocaine when he was younger like he wants to do to those who use it now? No, he would have never been to office to arrest and fine those who do those things now. It’s ridiculous and the amount of money we spend on marijuana offenders is appalling.
3. President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2012. This bill allows the president and all future presidents to indefinitely detain people.[6/7] This means they can hold innocent people without charging them of a crime or allowing them their civil rights, including a right to a fair trial.
4. The president panders to the gay community by claiming support with empty statements. He uses his statement “….gays should be able to get married” as a political move. Liberals view this supposed change of stance as an “evolution of views” while they attack Mitt Romney on being a flip-flopper. Barack Obama believes that gay’s being able to get married is a “state’s issue”.[8] This would be one of the few times Barack Obama agrees with the constitution. Barack
5. Barack Obama is the first president to assassinate a US citizen. (And his completely innocent 16 y/o son). [9] Their names were Anwar al-awlaki and Abdul al-awlaki. Anwar wasn’t a good person and he was dangerous but this kind of action is crossing a line that shouldn’t be crossed. When the president has the ability to do things like this it can be dangerous for the population. This is one instance but the Pentagon has stated that he is allowed do this when he wants. Would you want this power to fall into the wrong hands? With the assassination of Anwar’s son it appears it already has.
6. Barack Obama DID NOT end the war in Iraq. Our military still has a presence in Iraq and Obama wanted to keep more troops in Iraq. George Bush actually signed the agreement to get troops out of Iraq so you can thank him for the amount that actually did leave. [10] Barack Obama will claim that he “ended the war in Iraq” which is false. You should not support someone who is not honest with their claims in office.
7. Barack Obama has ordered hundreds of more drone strikes which have killed hundreds of innocent people including people uninvolved and children. [11] Then Obama calls all boys above 15 killed by the drone strike “militant” to make his record of target to civilian ration look better.[12] Again, do you want someone this dishonest in office? The use of drone strikes creates blowback which leads people to join al-Qaeda as well. An over-intrusive foreign policy creates enemies which leads to terrorism against the US. We are endangering ourself by continuing to be so involved with business that isn’t ours.
8. Obama receives funding to his campaign from special interest groups like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citigroup. [13] Obama then uses the Federal Reserve to manipulate our currency and manipulate our interest rates to their advantage.
9. Obama continues to allow the Federal Reserve National Bank to manipulate the US dollar creating inflation. This inflation literally steals value from the dollars you own. The Fed then lends out money to banks at manipulated rates to discourage people from saving money. This is under the guise of creating economic stimulus but what do we have to show for it? A really bad economy. This creates a boom in the economy shortly but then results in a slow in economic spending that’s even worse and lasts longer. What should be very troubling though is that the money stolen from the dollar goes to rich bank owners. [14]
10.  Most people will say “Yeah, but Mitt Romney is worse” I would disagree but I don’t support Mitt Romney. If we continue to support the lesser of two evils our government will progress to become more corrupt and intrusive. I want to live in a nation were people can be free. I want to be in a nation with an open and honest government. I want to be in a nation were I can make decisions about my body as well as everyone. I want to be in a nation more prosperous. The United States used to be the most free country on the planet? We ruled under the constitution and under ideas of John Locke. Now a days people who believe this is the way our nation should be are considered “radical”.

The thing is…when it comes to most of these issues Mitt Romney isn’t any better. He still supports NDAA, drones and is anti-gay marriage, pro-Federal Reserve, Pro-Big Government, Pro-War, Anti-Marijuana, Anti-Recreational Drug, and doesn’t have a good enough debt plan.

Tomorrow is is election day. I hope I’ve made some of you think twice before you vote tomorrow. If you’re not convinced Barack Obama isn’t worth reelecting please look at these:
