One thing is for sure....if Obama wins....it will certainly be the Lamest Duck of All Lame Duck presidencies. There's no way in hell he gets 1/20th of his agenda past the House GOP.

As the GOP has shown time and time again, their policy is to stop Obama rather than to help America.

Of course, you are butthurt. You are also radical ideological people who conflate the two issues. Hence, our downrating on the debt....

You would rather jeopardize the safe-being of America for your radicalism in order to overturn Obama.

You have no principles outside of your party.

Sun Tzu often spoke about defeating your enemy by frustrating him and causing him to make big mistakes out of that frustration. If Obama becomes angry and frustrated over the next 4 years, and assuming he makes huge power grabs, would that alienate the youth voters who are straddling between libertarianism and neo-progressivism?

On a side note, will the GOP start a buzz-phrase "I blame Ron Paul/Gary Johnson" if Obama wins, just as Obamabots use "Blame Bush" to make excuses for Obama's failures?
Obama's re-election would doom the nation, as we would be on the fast track to insolvency/hyperinflation by continuation of his failed policies.

If liberals are going to destroy America, perhaps they should just get it done in Obama's next term, such that we can rebuild from the ashes. It is probably best to get it over with quickly. Perhaps at that time, we can separate "liberal America" from "conservative America" in which everyone who wants a very powerful centralized government and a welfare state can be in liberal america, and everyone who wants small government and works for a living can live in conservative america.

I am hopeful that it would not be "doom", simply that he'll make Bush look like a great president by comparison and that not even Hillary could possibly win in 2016.

I guess I am guilty of anticipating the same outcome for double tongued Mitty. Or to at least manifest that one man cannot fix such a gigantic hot mess in just one term, nor could logically be the cause of it.
