- Support for women’s healthcare and reproductive rights
- Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
- Equal rights for all (including supporting the right to marry whomever you wish)

(as far as the other point...I do not believe it is any of my business to tell another man or woman what to do with their body or dictate their business -and vice versa). That is between the person and their conscience and/or higher power)

Also, I do believe that claiming you are completely dispassionate about any candidate shows your enthusiasm / passion for the system itself. And you didn't believe in what either one was "selling". But you seem very passionate and seem to feel very strongly about certain issues. So that is something, right?

Well Rose, I looked at this election very differently and I was so bad during the last election and the past couple of years as well that I was more concerned about just dealing with the PTSD and the bad situation I have been in.

I was really triggered alot in this election, things caught me off guard as well. Like the town hall debate where the two men were circling each other and Obama's payback. Well, wow, that really triggered me Rose, to bad memories, I wasn't expecting that. I talked about that somewhere, that happened a lot with my brother and father, scarey things, bad flashbacks from that, I was so little then, and so incredibly frightened, with good reason, I wasn't expecting that to happen.

I know that women's rights are important, but I didn't see just that Rose, what good is that if one can't get a job, no roof overhead, no food on the table.

Yes, all those that "depend on government aide" but the government has to have other people working, paying taxes and have funds coming in to pay for these "dependants". It doesn't matter how "deserving" one is if there are no funds to give them this "aide". And there are no funds, we are borrowing.

We think that the "rich" is going to be able to foot that bill? No, there is not enough of them.

Big Bird? Well, he can certainly take care of himself, yes, nice program, but it doesn't really need government funding now, it "can" survive on it's own and still be there to enjoy. Those funds can serve to buy more food stamps, something that is needed so much more.

Vote out of "revenge"? What revenge, is that how we start this next four years, revenge? Well, that is not bipartisnship, that is the "wrong message". Revenge just plays in my mind as such a bad feeling, make the rich angry, make Wallstreet angry, Wallstreet, I told my husband to take our retirement out of investments, I knew this would happen, it just plunged today. Did Wallstreet need stricter guidelines, yes, but there is a lot of "lies" in that market, brokers who don't care either.
Who ends up paying if the market crashes, I did, my parents did and so did many other people who worked hard and "saved" and "invested'.

Bush made mistakes, but two wrongs do not make a right. Our politicians get paid whether we gain or not. Obama doesn't "go hungry" he has a fine roof over his head, he has good health care, and a great retirement plan.

Revenge, well wealthy people and big businesses are "leaving this country", and they will continue to do just that, that will be the revenge they get. Who will suffer? Not Obama, not those on that high hill, but us, you and me and so many other good people.

No, we need to come together as a country, not continue this so called "revenge" between the democrats and republicans, and we already know that just brings "gridlock" and more homeless, less jobs, and more and more debt. Red and Blue, so devided, revenge? No that simply will not bring our country together again. No, I didn't like this election at all, lots of anger, who pays for that?

The billions spent in this election, much too much waste with so many hungry, homeless, jobless.

Well, I like the right to vote, and choose, but this was too long and too much "waste". Billions spent in "Ohio" and they were "pounded" in this election. Well, no one came to my state, yeah my state is in the bag. Although Romney got 47% if I recall. Why?, because people "want bipartisenship" again, they don't want more "girdlock". People are desperate for jobs. Revenge is not going to get jobs, we already know that.

Honestly, I just kept wanting to have a third person there somehow, someone that could rise above this Red and Blue turned into "revenge' and gridlock.

Hearing that word, Revenge, that was it for me and this PTSD brain of mine tbh.
