Mitt Romney For President? I Will Not Be Voting For Him.

i hadnt really given too much though about who i was going to be voting for president, after all it is a while from now until the election. but what got me was today i was lisitening to the radio, and i heard a man talking about how children need both a mother and a father, and that he believed in marriage before children only. which of course got me for two different reasons, reason number one of course being that for the child i am pregnant with now, we were not married before i got pregnant, and for the first two children i was married before getting pregnant and that didnt get me anywhere, i am not with either of their fathers, and we all know why from previous blogs or if you know me well. so i am needless to say i am not a person who believes in marriage before children, i know a lot of children where that didnt happen, and the children are very well adjusted. and then there is also a lot of children, where the parents were married before having the child and that didnt work either, and they still ended up without having a mother and a father. so what is the difference? so as you can see i feel strongly about this issue. now, yes, i know that romney is a republican and generally i dont see eye to eye with them, i am basically in all senses of the word a democrat, and that is probably something that will not change. but i could vote republican if i felt that it would be someone that would be good for us as a country and also would represent me and my family well, but i can tell you one thing, with his views on things, from what i read on his website a few minutes ago, i definetly dont see that being him, and will therefore not vote for him that is for sure.

there are two other issues that i dont agree with his views on, and those are abortion and also his views on same sex marriage. he believes that abortion shouldnt be legal (now this is all my interpretation of what is said by him on his website) except for special circumstances (rape, and things like that). regardless of what the womans reason is, i believe that it should be her personal decision. whatever she chooses that is a decision that she has to live with for the rest of her life. personally i would never have an abortion myself, but that is my personal decision, and i feel everyone should have that decision to make, no matter what their choice is. and then the other thing, the same sex marriage he doesnt agree with it, thinks that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, which i dont agree with, if two people want to get married no matter what their sex is, they should be able to. more power to them.

so anyway, those are the reasons why i know that i will definetly not be voting for him. so far i have looked at hillary clintons views on issues, and she is looking good to me. i still have to look further at her and other candidates, but i know right now, that romney is definetly not one that i am even going to consider voting for.
