"And he told me that Romney scares the **** out of him so he's voting for the President..." [View all]

One of my brothers called yesterday and we were chewing over the campaigns in our states. He lives in Illinois and works in a factory there. He told me about a conversation he had with one of his coworkers about the election. He said this guy is a Republican who voted for Bush twice and held his nose to vote for McCain last election. This election he won't support Romney. He is scared about what a Romney administration would do for his prospects for retirement, taxes, and medical care.

My husband has run into a couple of these kind of voter concerns in his travels during the work days. I'd say the politics of greed are probably looming large for some now that the Rs are this close to accomplishing rich man's utopia.
