do you think obama will win

I never said that there are no Democrat business owners. I personally only know Republican small business owners. My personal experience is valid in my decision making as to who I will vote for in the coming election.

We already know he dodges taxes (not evasion)

Many rich people dodge taxes. I recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. He briefly explained how and why, which infuriated me but made sense at the same time.

It is also important to note that many rich people are experts at influencing politicians. For example, both President Obama and Romney have many rich supporters. Why do they support and donate thousands of dollars to their favorite politician's respective cause? It is because it is a give and take scenario. The old "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine." is prevalent in politics and can be seen in how lobbyists work as well.

Since apparently you aren't going to respond to me anymore I will say a few final things.
1. Your reason for voting republican is that it is for 'small government'. Now the Republican party is all for dictating people's lives (what they can and cannot do) and want to increase military spending and 'share' how great America is with the world. Sounds like a really small government huh?
2. Your idea that Democrats must therefore be for small government is wrong. Neither party is for a small government, they just want the power to be used differently.
3. You don't seem to have anything against Obama, you have said it many times now. He hasn't done anything really bad. He has actually helped the country recover from a difficult time. You acknowledge that he inherited a lot of s*** and yet you want to elect someone who wants to undue all that he's done into office now? I understand you may have concerns about Obamacare, but that is one law, and is hardly a deal breaker, not to mention that it seems to do more good to people than bad. If you read the law it has many good things. As Romney has said, he wants to repeal Obamacare and put something essentially the same in its place, but without the mandate. So he wants to put another program in place without funding. That sounds smart.
4. You should not feel insulted by my use of the words ignorant and naive. Ignorant is to be lacking in knowledge. Which you demonstrated and I pointed out. Naive similarly means a lack of experience which you also demonstrated, and I pointed out. I apologize if you took them as offensive but they were properly used and not used to insult you but rather to make a point. If you wish to remain ignorant fine, but don't whine that people were insulting you when they weren't.

I am not sure why you insist on writing me. However, please do not tell me what I should or should not feel insulted about, ok? I will not tell you what you "should" or "should not" feel insulted about! If it does not offend you to be called "naive" or "ignorant", that is fine. However, I have never called you either one nor do I think calling people negative adjectives is productive to a good conversation. Do you understand this concept?

P.S. And no I'm not PMSing, just in case that thought crossed your mind. I am merely "speaking" my mind about how I feel concerning your description of me.

LOL I'm sorry but the fact that you need to say that is so sad, I can't help but laugh. That is the silliest explanation to think of for a woman for typing what she thinks. It never crossed my mind. I'm sorry that you felt you had to clarify that.

I will merely point out that you only take offense because you perceive them as negative.

I am curious why you hope not? Thanks.

Personally, I am more inclined to vote for Romney, though I really wish I could vote for Ron Paul!

Do you see them as positive? If someone calls you "naive" or "ignorant", do you say, "Thanks! What a great point for our discussion!"?

Since you wrote, "I will try to refrain from using 'negative words' or what can be construed as an insult. But that doesn't mean you can say those things and think what you are saying is accurate.", I will take you at your word. However, please note that just because you write something doesn't mean what you write is accurate either.

I hope so.

I really am not comfortable with (arguably) the most powerful man in the world thinking that Jesus visited America and that Evolution "is a nice theory"

I can respond to you if christianlady doesnt want to

1) Democrats are far worse at dictating people's lives than the republican party. Democrats want to tell you what kind of car you can drive, what kind of food you are allowed to eat, they don't want you to be able to choose the healthcare plan you want, won't let you choose the school you can send your children to, and even want to dictate the kind of lightbulbs you can buy and the type of toilet you are allowed to have. And the worst thing about democrats is that they violate your economic civil liberties by demanding a bigger share of your income. Without economic civil liberties and private property rights there really are no other civil liberties.
