I was thinking today about why I chose to support Mitt Romney over Gary Johnson.
I definitely agree with Johnson more than I agree with Romney, so why support Romney? Well, because Romney has a better chance of winning.
I absolutely despise Romney's views on social issues, but I remembered that no President ever really legislates on social issues. Bush could've overturned Roe v. Wade or passed a Constitutional ban on gay marriage, but he didn't. Obama could've legalized gay marriage or made pot legal or whatever, but he didn't. In the end, the economy is what matters most. I am of the belief that Romney would handle the economy better than Obama has/will. That's just me. Will Romney lower unemployment to 5%? Of course not. Will he eradicate the debt? No way. But would he better than another term of Obama? I think so.
So what makes you support one candidate over another? Do you factor in all of their positions or do you preference certain issues over others?
Can Romney make gay marriage or pot legal?
