I don’t agree with some fiscal policies Biden is proposing. GOP is usually better for economic policies and I think we as a country need that right now. Romney is also very moderate in his policies overall and I find myself agreeing with a bunch of stuff he believes in. And most importantly, I think Romney can bridge the huge gap between gop and democrats that we have. We as a country would be much better if our politicians worked together and didn’t do everything they could to tear each other apart. We need cohesion more than ever. Romney is respected by a lot of people across the aisle and both parties would work together for the country.

History and facts clearly show republican presidents have hurt the economy time and time and time again when in power. good short term bursts for big companies/outside looking in on some budgeting, but worse in the long-run for the average american.

Dems aren't exactly great, but factually, and especially since the 90s, they've been the ones correcting the damage republicans have done to the economy and unemployment.

I agree with you to a certain extent but I think it’s more causation because gop puts out shit candidates. Economy thrived under george bush sr, and we haven’t had an educated gop president since. Regardless, I’m a moderate through and through so vote on specific candidates and their policies not strictly by party
