It's a rebuttal for Voter Apathy not an endorsement of Mitt Romney. Seriously all the people saying Romney be no better or worst rebuttal ever, you didn't get that? |

A vote for Romney isn't necessarily a vote for Romney. It's a vote for something, anything other than Obama. |

And they think Romney will be any better?
No they don't, this video is simply advocating against voting for Obama. |

Reason.tv is libertarian, so they're not for Obama or Romney. |

I feel kind of bad for Obama. The people who were really excited for him 4 years ago (like me) are the people who are pissed at him now for not being liberal enough and continuing too many Bush policies. While the conservatives say "he is the most liberal president ever" (which isn't even remotely true).
So half the people think he is too liberal while the other half think he isn't liberal enough. |

My inner Jiminy Cricket will not allow me to vote for either Obama or Romney. Even if I'm the only person voting for him in the entire U.S., my vote will be cast for Gary Johnson. |

I'm pretty sure that Reason.tv has a Libertarian slant. So I'd guess that they're supporting Gary Johnson and dislike Bush just as much as Obama. |

Seams like a bit of a retarded rebuttal since the Republicans would push even harder for war if Romney was president. Or is this from the Libertarians? |

" if those citizens are fighting on the enemy's side then hell yes shoot their asses"
You know what that makes us? Terrorists. (Assuming you mean the citizens being murdered that aren't actually fighting, including tons of little innocent children, because that's what is referred to as "citizens" here) |

Does this guy think Romney is anti-war or something? I'm absolutely disgusted at Obama's drone strikes, but they're pretty popular amongst Republicans and Romney would most likely continue them. |

Another thing I would like to point out about this war is that 90% of Afghan men have never even heard of 9/11. That means that 90% of them may just think we're another invading force who wants to exploit their country. Would you be surprised if any of those people wanted us out of their country?

'It's a war...did you think no one would die? The death toll is why we try to avoid it {as a rule}. As for "Citizens killed by executive order"... if those citizens are fighting on the enemy's side then hell yes shoot their asses!'
The biggest logical fallacy with this attitude is that drone strikes produce new terrorists and anti-American sentiments. People in Pakistan are already angry with us, and the drone strikes only make it worse.
What would stop another country, say China, from launching drone strikes in the USA?
One of the main reasons I voted for Obama was that I thought he would stop the counter-productive practices that only foment new anti-American anger. Instead, he's ramped up the drone strikes.
Yes, it's a war, but it's a war unlike any we've engaged in before. When you face an enemy such as this one, it makes no sense to engage in activities that only embolden their perspective. |

Most of what is said in this video I agree with. The drone strikes are the number one reason I'm having trouble casting another vote for Obama. |

@DromEd: Never. The blame never ends. Hell, I'm still pissed off at Lord Bute, and he hasn't been prime minister since 1774. Arsehole Wanker *grumble grumble*. |

@unmercyfuldu Obama hasn't upheld his promises to end the wars. Not even close. Stop bringing up Bush. |

Criticize Obama for Bush's policies. But just make sure you criticize him. That way we can elect another poobag and blame all his policy failures on the next democrat that is elected.
