Has President Obama proposed spending cuts to go along with his proposed tax increases?
Has Mitt Romney proposed tax increases to go along with his proposed spending cuts?
These are not questions that solicit an opinion.
The cuts are relatively small, however, in the larger scheme of things. In total, the $775 million in detailed cuts fall far short of demands by congressional Republicans and will do little toward tackling the deficit, which is estimated to be $1.5 trillion this year by the Congressional Budget Office. The cuts are in addition to a five-year spending freeze which the administration says will save $400 billion over the next decade.
Which policies in 2012 will sway your vote?
You mean like YOUR reason?Oh look! An independent! He's not made a decision yet! Everyone...........hurry! He needs to hear the reasoned, rational arguments that this forum is known for so he can make a choice in November!
You mean like YOUR reason? Spare us.
I don't see anything on the list that appeals and will not participate in the poll.

Awww. He won't debate. Must be an MSNBC producer.
What are your major 2012 issues, or are you a simple-minded locked-in partisan?
Keep drinking your cool-ade if you can't participate.
I am an Independent Conservative...and #1 issue is the huge attack on the Constitution, of individual liberty by Obama and the left...which affects the economy.
Your POLL doesn't go far enough (Yeah I know you are bound by limited choices on the boards).

painting with a very broad brush....the problem with that approach is that EVERY minority party whines about the party in-power. The dems whined about Bush overstepping the Executive's Constitutional powers all the time. So list the ones you think Obama violated (besides Obamacare, which the USSC will correct)
The other issue I could have mentioned is requiring religious institutions to violate their religious beliefs, such as Ms. Fluke making Catholic employers pay for birth control instead of paying for their own, etc.
p.s. I'm still very pissed about the condition of the US when Bush/Cheney slithered out of DC and handed off a financial disaster to BO. The GOP deserves a few more woodshed sessions, but the country simply can't afford to spite itself by staying on this overspending binge.

Seeing as I don't belong to a party...I fail to see the justice in the 'whining' comment.
You said that Democrats threaten freedom of speech. Can you at least try to support that claim? Using political correctness as a weopon? Example?
Holy crap.
Let me invite you into my little brain for just a moment. Yes, it's a strange place, but this will just take a moment. When I see someone deny something that is painfully obvious, my first thought, of course, is to respond. But then that thought is interrupted by the knowledge that, if this person was willing to deny something that is so obvious before, surely they'll do it again to whatever I have to say.
The American Left uses Political Correctness on an ongoing basis. Every day, all the time. They continue to use it because it continues to work. If you're really going to deny that, let's just not proceed.
.
If it is so obvious, then it shouldn't be difficult for there to be some examples provided.
Personally, I happen to think Political Correctness tends to get a bad rap. What's so horrible about trying not to offend whole groups of people?
Why political correctness matters
if people were more cognizant of their prejudicial ideas and thought twice about vocalizing them when doing so might unnecessarily offend others, we'd live in a more truly accepting environment. We could begin to create a culture of openness in which people feel comfortable asking questions about practices or customs that they do not understand.
