College students, like you, vote for Obama because he keeps your tuition costs down.
Unless you have a better reason, which I'm sure we would all LOVE to hear.
I'm a college student who's balls deep in dept, so yes that's one of the reasons I'm voting for obama. Shouldn't keeping higher education costs down be an objective of anyone running for president? There are other reasons too...
-Romney wants to cut funding for public broadcasting (which costs $1.35 per taxpayer, per year)
-drill for oil in the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge
-increase coal production
-his running mate Ryan proposed a budget cutting $170 BILLION in Pell Grants (goodbye educational opportunities for the poor)
-against gay marriage
-against abortion unless involving incest, rape, or harm to the mother (it doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are, it’s the fact that the establishment may govern that choice, which is unconstitution
al)
-wants to repeal Obamacare (I finally have health insurance now, which I had been without since I was booted off my parents policy when I turned 21)
-wants to build a fucking fence over 2,000 miles of border shared with mexico (costly, time consuming, and unenforceable)
-increase military spending, even though we're drawing down and pulling out of a decade long war (we need to bring Bonehead's war buddies home, not build more fucking bombers and invade iran next)
-flip-flops his positions more than any flip-flopper in the history of flip-flopping. Republicans usually hate that shit, but since he's the only candidate they have, they've been ignoring his permanently changing positions and unending contradictions
.
and...he's unrelatable as fuck. $20 million dollars made just last year. This isn't someone who lives, acts, or represents a lifestyle that anyone here has experienced or can understand. This month I had to tally up how much money I could spend on groceries each week and still afford to pay for rent at the end of the month. Romney is someone who had to sell off some of his stock options during college in order to pay for it when the economy took a shit. Can anyone here relate to that?
But hey, if everything in that short list I included is something you are totally down to support, then by all means vote for Romney. Actually, don't.
