Politics and Religion
GOP disingenuously, imperiously preach about slashing the size of government while egregiously adding 7.8 trillion to the debt that they refuse to say how they could pay for or how the math works. The phony math doesn't work, and every major economic think tank and 3 Nobel Prize winners in Economics have savagely attacked it. The $7.8 trillion over 10 years includes tax cuts for the very rich paid for by stealing money in taxes from the very poor and middle class.
Obamacare extends healthcare to a potential 85 million, while Romney would abolish this with nothing in it's place. Unless you are a medical moron, you understand that one major surgery or major medical illness with chronic care could not possibly be handled fund wise with a 15 grand voucher. With nothing to stop them, insurance companies would bounce you for your pre-existing condition (as they often do now) and they would impose a lifetime cap. A male or female in need of any significant surgical procedure including the 400,000 CABG's performed in the US every year, or the 1/8 females who will get one of eight or so types of breast cancer would be without insurance and die in bankruptcy trying to fight their illness.
GOP alleges they want to cut the size, extent, and scope of government but they want to impose government solely for the sake of extending their power in situations where they want to impose their power. A prime example is Bob McDonnell in Viginia who pushed a bill to force transvaginal ultrasonography on women as a prerequisite for abortion when the procedure is absolutely medically unnecessary in that situation. Another is imposing religious sentiment over a female employee's right to receive a birth control method she chooses with her physician incoluding OC's by having an employer (the majority of them male) making the decision for the woman.
A further example is ending Planned Parenthood whose major percentage of care is typical primary medical care done by an FP or an internist.
There are a panoply of other issues I have discussed at length. One integral issue of decorum in the pending election is the consistent lying Romney and Ryan are engaging in. A prime example is that Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare. As someone who has dealt with medical insurance for patients and Medicare on a daily basis for decades, this is an absolute lie. Ryan's plan WOULD cut that amount from patients raising their out of pocket expense for Medicare $6400 and raising the donut for Part D costs approximatley 4 grand. Obamacare eleimates the donut, eliminates pre-existing condition bars or exponential insurance premium hikes, eliminates lifetime caps that boot a woman off her insurance if she contracts metastatic breast CA, and offers extensive physical exams and workups yearly for CMS beneficiaries.
Romney's environmental program is a joke. His claims about pipelines are total lies.
Romney's magical proposal to create 12000 jobs without defining how is a total lie. Those jobs would happen anyway.

By not revealing his taxes, and not revealing his economic plans, he's saying, to me, that if he did, I wouldn't vote for him. So, I'm not voting for him!
