Too educated to vote for Romney...

That's what a friend of mine described voters in one of swing states as we discussed about this presidential election. And I agree.

As I see my news feeds of Facebook or comments on online articles, I'm surprised how some people blindly believe in the GOP candidate or just simply against everything Obama does. I just want to say... Educate yourself, think rationally.

I'm sick of people saying something like, Obama is a Muslim, socialist, lead this nation broke. First of Obama is a Christian. American health care must get out of complete control and corruption by private sector. The nation is in deficit because of the Republican policies.

Something about healthcare... Romney said the states should be allowed to deal with it. Well, how many states do you think are willing to do that? At least not in the South. Alabama even put a referendum of state constitution to prohibit the mandate of health insurance.

As I mentioned before, what choice do we have if we don't have insurance, and insurance itself is getting expensive? This completely private medicine is clearly mess already. The cost have to be lowered and evened.

I agree also that investment needs to be made to infrastructure, education, among other things and support the population up from bottom. The rich should pay a little bit more in taxes since they are still well off after all.

Yes, too much regulation is not effective, but too much deregulation is also bad. We don't need to turn back to the old policy that led to recession in the first place. We don't need people financially vulnerable to go bankrupt and bailout banks again. Rather, we need people to make smart choice.

For Romney's agenda, how can he reduce the deficit with lower tax rate he said he would propose? By reducing deduction and closing loophole? With defense spending increased but reducing other spending? Isn't it a little too obvious that military industries is on his back?

I can go on and on, but just want to say Romney doesn't make sense. He is not capable of handling the task of the President of the United States. It's not just about the U.S. but all over the world. I hope the voters makes smart decision tomorrow.
