Just leaving this here for easy access when I need to make a point to not vote for him. Way too many human rights violations and free'durms revocation. I didn't actually expect him to come in and change everything, but I think his focus should have been on reducing spending in areas we could actually help against (making banks accountable for risk, reduce the ridiculous military spending) instead of incurring more debt. Yes, financial crisis was bad, yes Obama from an economic standpoint is a terrible president. Could ANYONE else have done much better? I sort of doubt it.
I don't think I even need to justify why I won't vote for Romney. There is only one candidate for me who brings to the table some semblance of honesty and concrete ideas I can trust:

Not only is Vermin Supreme the clear choice, but his running mate, Ritt Momney is good too.

Going to make a list here for the super lazy in no particular order:
Continued military occupation, drone strikes against sovereign nations (which if done to us by another country would be considered an act of war), outrageous war spending while saying we're out of money for social security and healthcare. Links for these everywhere.
Continuation of the War on Drugs failure. Shutting down medicinal marijuana dispensaries, wasting millions of tax dollars going after drugs in the country, spending nothing on stopping them at their source in mexico or regulating them via the government and generating billions of dollars in revenue we could use to fund all the things they lie to us about not being able to afford.
TSA. Why is this still there? Because you're too chicken shit to tell Bush's cronies who instated this miserable failure that they can't have millions of taxpayer dollars for do nothing naked scanners and untrained genital gropers.
Never closed Guantanamo. I didn't honestly expect him to do this, but don't lie about things you know you can't do and then assume everyone will forget about it once you take office.
Cutting NASA's budget. Really? Plenty of money for rebuilding tank after tank that the military doesn't want to satiate the war economy, but no prep work for when the sun explodes in a few billion years and engulfs Earth.
Zero accountability for the banks and participants in scandals and misrepresented loans that almost bankrupt the country. Madoff aside, of course.
Letting the BP deep sea drilling escapade slide. Yes they were fined, but not all affected businesses were properly compensated, not to mention any permanent damage that was done long term. Oil should NOT receive billions in gubmint dollars every year to support their practices when they're making billions of dollars in profit.

I think Romney, McCain, Bush, you name it would have also participated in all of the above. A two party system is the illusion of choice. I reject those answers; instead, I choose something different. I choose the impossible.

Going to make a list here for the super lazy in no particular order:
NDAA - specifically the AUMF - Authorization for Use of Military Force against Terrorists portion of it
Actual confirmed assassination attempts against a US citizen by order of the government - Anwar al-Aulaqi - see prior as well
Continued military occupation, drone strikes against sovereign nations (which if done to us by another country would be considered an act of war), outrageous war spending while saying we're out of money for social security and healthcare. Links for these everywhere.
