National Polls Show An Incredibly Close Race for President
Unbelievable, in the last 14 national polls reported on RealClearPolitics, 13 have shown the spread between the candidates is two points or less. I don't know how it could get any closer.

The race is close because Obama and Romney are essentially the same candidate.
HERE IS WHY THEY ARE THE SAME:

Dear Libertarian above: No they are not the same-Obama is a marxist about to finish his U.S. transformation if elected. He had his chance elected by the non-discerning. You don't have a clue as to what Romney will do and spout talking points but one thing for sure he will not be an Obama. I'll take my chances with Romney and will not waste a vote on some third party forever loser.
Guest, they have you right where they want you. They seduced you into playing in their filthy pond.
Folks, you dont have to pick between the lesser evil. You don't have to pick one criminal gang over another criminal gang.
And guest? So many people are sitting out this election, or voting for 3rd party, that Obama can win another term.
That is exactly what the Republican party deserves for betraying its principles.
ILLUSION OF THE LESSER EVIL
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/1013-the-political-illusion-of-the-lesser-of-two-evils
If you vote for Romney, you are no different than all those well meaning people who put Obama into office.
Hey Melyssa,
Still walking around a slave by the collar?
No lessor of two evils here nor seduction. I have paid close attention to Obama who is a marxist and if you want to sell out our country to his view, proceed. He has appointed avowed communists and no matter what pretty speeches he gives his actions betrays his words. If you vote for Obama you are the betrayer of America. He is following the pattern of the beginnings of the complete tranformation of our way of life. Have it nice now well we are already sinking backwards. You no doubt have accepted the edicts that have come down and have not said a word to his executive orders etc. You are no different than the well meaning people who put Obama into office either because you refuse to see that a liberterian vote or a sit out at this time will bring him back to finish out his evil plans.
