Watch Live: Congressional Hearing on IRS Scandal
Live BlazeCast at 2pm ET: All the fireworks from the IRS Hearing!
15 Reasons Why This Radio Producer Believes You Shouldn’t Vote For Obama (Plus: 300+ More Arguments!)

Tom Elliott, executive producer of “The Peter Schiff Show” (an investment and finance radio show) put together an extensive list of reasons why he believes Americans should reject President Barack Obama at the polls today. Falling under 27 distinct subjects, Elliott highlights — with links to corroborate his reasoning — more than 300 reasons why not to vote for Obama.
In his extensive — and we mean extensive — post entitled, “The Ultimate A-Z Guide to Obama’s First Term,” the producer begins by taking aim at the most recent attacks on American interests in Libya and he concludes by highlighting what he believes was a lackluster response on the part of the Obama administration to the BP Gulf oil spill. Of course, there’s plenty more content covered between these topics (perspectives that many left-of-center voters will surely reject).
Below, we’ve highlighted just 15 of Elliott’s reasons (but the full list can be read here):
–
The Benghazi, Libya, Consulate Attack
Citing security failures, Elliot maintains that the September 11 attack on Benghazi, Libya, constitutes a mark against Obama. He concludes that, following the attack, “9/11 [is] now somehow even more painful” than it was before. Below, here are just three of his Benghazi-related reasons why not to vote for Obama:
- The consulate was under threat long before 9/11, yet he failed to bolster security.
- The CIA found terrorist links the following day, yet he continued blaming an unrelated YouTube video.
- His vice president’s words of consolation to the father of former Navy SEAL slain in the attack: “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”

–
The Ever-Increasing National Debt
Elliott also highlights the national debt as a major notch against Obama’s re-election bid. Despite promising to tackle the U.S. debt and annual deficits, the radio producer claims that president has failed miserably in this area. Here are some of the additional reasons that he urges voters to reject Obama:
- Immediately sent debt skyrocketing.
- For months he deferred calls to act on the deficit and debt by creating a commission to handle the issue; after the commission issued its report, he ignored it entirely.
- Increased food stamp usage 50 percent.
–
ObamaCare (Health Care Legislation)
One of the more extensive sections of Elliott’s list focuses upon The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). Below, see some of the more pointed reasons he believes that the legislation makes the president an unpalatable electoral choice:
- States are forced to pick up ObamaCare’s tab.
- ObamaCare taxes the uninsured, breaking a campaign promise.
- ObamaCare increases taxes on families earning more than $250,000.
- ObamaCare creates new tax forms for small business.
–
Fast & Furious
The Fast and Furious scandal has received a great deal of attention in recent months. According to Elliot, it’s yet another example corroborating why, in his view, the president doesn’t deserve a second term. Here are just a few of his bullet points associated with the scandal:
- DoJ/ATF arranged for thousands of heavy assault rifles to make their way into the hands of Mexican narco warlords, setting the stage for a mass slaughter of Mexicans (more than 300 to date).
- U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was also killed as a result of the operation.
- More than 1,400 weapons remain lost.
–
The Stimulus (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act)
The stimulus has been a hot-button issue since Obama advocated for it back in February 2009. The nearly-trillion dollar government investment package is also on Elliott’s list. Aside from a multitude of company failures — groups that received funds and then went belly-up, the producer tackled a few other issues associated with the stimulus package:
- Stimulus recipient Solyndra … failed.
- His stimulus bill actually destroyed 1 million jobs, according to one study.
–
As stated, not everyone is going to agree with many of the bullet points presented in Elliott’s list. Still, the issues raised are fascinating. In the end, political persuasion will surely dicate where people stand on each indicator. To read Elliott’s entire list, click here.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 2:55pmIf a Republican had this record after 4 yrs not 1 Lib/Dem would vote for him. So why do Democrats and Liberals allow Democrats to destroy their children’s future when they wouldn’t allow Republicans?
I lay out the stats below, now explain why they are okay under a Dem but not under a Republican. http://voices.yahoo.com/voting-open-mind-closed-eyes-11843278.html

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 11:32amFounding Father Quote:
“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, “just men who will rule in the fear of God.” The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.”
-Noah Webster

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 11:03amI voted a few days ago and voted for neither of the two major clowns. My gut feeling is we’re better of with the lying devil we know than the lying fool we don’t know. Only time will tell. The republic will still be so when we wake up in the morning, regardless of who is elected. Maybe the election will signal the end of all the fear mongering…

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 12:44pmOh my……..you are a hypocrite. You say you love liberty and you KNOW that voting for someone other than Obama or Romney, will actually give your vote to Obama, so THAT DOES MAKE YOU A HYPOCRITE because Obama is a tyrant socialist communist. SO, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU?
THE SAME. Shame on you, but it is your right to vote any way you want, BUT, I DO NOT CONSIDER YOU A TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. I consider you someone who aids and abets the enemy – OBAMA.
AT LEAST ROMNEY HAS MORAL PRINCIPLES WHERE OBAMA HAS NONE.

Obama said to vote out of revenge, well I am taking his advice and voting his butt out! Good riddance.

Not on America’s enemies, but within. This POS treats the Taliban and Al Quaeda, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood as BFFs compared to how they treat anyone who stands up for the U.S. Constitution..

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 9:18amThose are all good reasons to fire the Marxist mulatto POS fraud but the most important reason to fire the pig is because he’s a Marxist and he detests this country as founded. Look at the word ‘FORWARD’ used in his campaign,it’s used by Marxists the world over but Barry knows that most people,especially those stupid enough to vote for him have no idea what that word stands for. His ultimate goal is to end the middle class and lower our standard of living. Fire this POS anti-American bastard and hire Romney,a businessman who loves this country and could bring us out of this mess.

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 11:55amDon’t even babble about “popular vote” elections…the Electoral College was created by the Founders to PROTECT against a direct democracy..which has NEVER in the history of mankind lead to anything other than anarchy and destruction…only a representative democracy provides the freedom and stability necessary for a Moral and Just people to thrive….which means Republic…
electing a leader of a nation…a President MUST have protections from mob rule…if we had a direct election of the President…then that man/woman would only need 50.1% of the voting population to control…which means you could win with just CA, NY, and New England and the MidWest… the rest of the nation would become IRRELEVANT!!..
this would lead to another Civil War…
granted…we can talk about and discuss the need to install safeguards in the EC process or even to allow States to assign EC votes based on percentages instead of ‘winner take all’ as the current system works…which actually would ELIMINATE the whole “swing state” crap that goes on and force candidates to campaign in the ENTIRE nation and not just in States they feel they could “swing” over to their side and ignore the ones they feel they have an overwhelming lead in…

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 9:11amAlong with this there are many, many other reasons to vote the lying, divisive, smart-ass, corrupt, insulting, Israel-hating, weak, Chicago politician thug, threatening, apologizing, clueless about the economy, incompetent, baby killing, Ambassador killing, covering-up Communist piece of crap out of the White House. A vote for Romney also will send a message to the media that we are sick of their protection of Obama and their dereliction of duty as journalists for the past 4 years. Let’s give Michelle Obama her wish, and let her and her husband walk out the front door of the White House and keep right on walking!
America NEEDS Romney! We don’t need to put up with the above B.S.! Romney is a good, kind, decent, honest, hard-working, competent, intelligent, patriotic, friend to our friends in the world, defender of life, and classy man. The choice is clear. Romney supporters – GO VOTE!!!!!

Posted on November 6, 2012 at 9:10amI’ll give you a few more things to think about. President Obama is a huge lier. He has countless time lied to the American people, such as the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya, he lied when he made a promise to cut the deficit in half and instead doubled it, he lied about his connections to Bill Ayers a unrepentant terrorist, He lied when he said he would uphold and defend the Constitution of The United States, he lied about the cost of Obamacare, he lied when he said, “We will leave no man behind”. He did and they died.
This man does not deserve to be our president and really is not fit for any job in this great nation. He is a traitor to our great country and only seeks to weaken us further through taxes, regulations, energy, …..
Vote for Romney/Ryan and save our God lead nation!
