Dear Lord

I don't know why I'm watching the presidential debate as I am Canadian but I have to say, if America votes this Romney guy in I'm moving to the Yukon. As far north as possible as I can get before I end up in Alaska

So, as an American who actually follows politics and worries about our 16 trillion dollar deficit, I respectfully disagree. But you are still welcome to move to the Yukon.

Wow. Ok. That was almost respectful. If I am missing a key factor as to why Romney is a good candidate I would love to be swayed in my opinion. Please to be enlightening me.

Curious why you are anonymous...

Rationale for anonymity? Well, on LJ, my opinion that individuals should support themselves and make a stronger country together doesn't garner much support. I don't deny that there are many, many people who need my help, and I am happy to give it when I can. I have done it many times

Thank you for this well worded,and polite response.

There are definitively factors that I was unaware of which is why I am delighted that you chose to respond.

I obviously do not have much, if any, concept of American politics. But I do like to hear differing opinions and viewpoints. Quite honestly, the most I know about Romney is some very unflattering opinions, I have heard, he has with regards to women. Whether they are factual is not something I can say with any degree certainty. I confess that I have not been paying a whole lot of attention as at the end of the day I can't vote. That being said, I am very happy that you chose to share your views with me so that I can be better informed

I think this happens to all of us. We get consumed. Media thrives on us! I won't tell you I'm right. I won't even tell you that Romney is right, because I am in this horrible middle ground that I always tell my kids about: I am economically a conservative, but socially a liberal.

It kind of splits my personality. But perhaps because for the first time in along time, I actually think a candidate believes what he is saying? I have some hope. Romney has supported and promoted many women in office. He is not a misogynist, as many have suggested. Just check his record.

I don't know anything about politics in Canada. I'm pretty ignorant, unfortunately. But I loved the few forays I've had into your lovely country.

I agree with you completely. I too think Obama kept interrupting and attacking Romney the entire time. And every time Romney made a point, Obama would skirt the question entirely

I have so much to say in response to this, and I will tomorrow, most likely in a PM in your journal when I am not about to fall asleep.

Thank you so much, sassangel for the venue and the willingness to remain open minded.
