Nothing is going change . Would anyone like to place bets here? I'm sure Romney will tout all day how he lowered our 1.2 trillion dollar deficit to $500 billion, whoop-dee-do you rebellious budget cutter. I'm of the mind that we won't change our tune until the markets force us to and no one (cough cough China) will buy our debt anymore a la Greece.
The candidates are described as follows: one wants to expand the governmnet by a lot, the other wants to expand it by a moderate amount.
If Romney is elected he will not seek to make the United States a weak country in the global community. There will be a definite difference. Watch Obama's America 2016.

Everything will change.
The economy will miraculously change, not so much by virtue of policy change (which will, indeed happen, and to the betterment of the economy), but because the dagger, with the intitials of BHO on it, will, with the Oath of Office being taken by President Romney, be pulled from the back of America, the bleeding will staunch, the heeling will begin, and America will, with strength-renewed, prosper again.
Obama is correctly seen as a pox on America by those who make things happen (or not) by their action (or inaction). Steve Wynn's interview being instructive.
All will change, and to the better, under soon-to-be President Romney.
Even if Romney lowers the debt from 1.2 Trillion to 500 Billion, that's 240% better than Obama...is it not? More importantly, Romeny won't foster an attitude of payouts to unemployed so people will be motivated to work instead of motivated to collect food stamps and welfare.
Additionally, Romney's plan includes energy independence by 2020 instead of trillions in payouts to Obama's buddies for "green energy jobs" that's been wasted that my kids and future grandkids will be paying for.
People are already motivated to work. Problem is, there aren't any jobs out there for them.
What will change if Romney wins? Sweet FA. (Translation for non-Brits: Nothing)
The top 1% will happily get richer.
Whichever administration is in power will continue to fund/appease the underclass with welfare and reality TV shows. AKA bread and circuses. You seriously think the GOP wants to end/reduce welfare? Think again. They just want the proles pacified and placid. And freely available as cheap labor or cannon fodder - for funding their capitalist dreams or money spinning wars (if you're in the defense industry).
The middle class will continue to get shafted.
The above is true no matter who is elected. But I think it will be worse under the GOP.
The Obama pill just tastes better if you're not in the 1% and don't look down on those "less deserving" (as the GOP sees it) than you.
I think that Barack Obama at least can relate to those who did not grow up in a privileged environment and has first hand experience of living within other cultures. Mitt Romney is so far removed from the reality of most people's lives financially (here in the states) and culturally (limited exposure to anything outside Mormonism) that he may as well be campaigning on Mars. I think his experience and understanding of any country/CULTURE outside the US and the lens of Mormonism is extremely limited.

Sure all the economic stuff will change when the business-hating choom-gang socialist isn't in charge but...
No more crypto-marxist Obama Supreme Court picks means less chance of Orwellian changes to hate speech laws and prison time for controversial Tweets about immigration/etc like you see in the UK.
American's right to Freedom of Speech, unique in the Western world, might stay around a bit longer which allows every non-socialist in the Western world to fight a bit longer.
Wow there sure are some dramatic assumptions here. Balance the budget? "Everyone" will have jobs suddenly? Get tough with Iran (what does that even mean, war)? My favorite..gas under $3 a gallon?
The words we hear may vary a little but things will continue as they are.
Please let us know how women's rights are not going to be better? Yes, you might actually HAVE to buy birth control and pay for your own abortion?
Give me a break! If you are a woman and born in the United States, you are the luckiest woman on earth. So since women want equal rights...why don't you start acting like you have intelligence and stop asking the government for help in personal and health decisions and start taking some personal responsibility.
And what's going to change? Well I hope for one we can get some non-bias reporting from the media and correct numbers from the BLS...that would be a start-and maybe a budget...since that hasn't been done in three years-
Yeah, don't bother educating yourself.
I posted links at lest a dozen times over these anti-women threads.
Try you lying rants on the other ru****es.
That's the audience you're trying for.
Won't work on me.
You plan to buy your own heart medication, diabetes requirements, etc. without them being subsidized by the insurance you pay? That's what you should be doing as well.

i also hope that we get respect back for the middle class, which is the backbone of this country.
i think we all know that if obama offered the "poor" 10,000 dollars apiece even if the economy was irreversibly damaged as a result that they would take it. (which includes all the illegal immigrants now in this country. because they have somewhere else to go if it doesn't work out for them).
i think romney's point about the 47% (or whatever it was) was that we are getting dangerously close to a tipping point in this country, where promises made are going to be more than the economy's ability to deliver them.
this country doesn't need to go forward, it needs to go upward.
more working people will help this country go upward in a way that more promises never can--grow the middle class and you help the entire country.
Yep, everyone respected the middle class until January 2009.
Right.
Got something other than rush and talking points for anything you posted?
Anything at all?
