I agree, nothing will change...

But at least your recognize that things are very bad right now...Which is much, much more than you can get from any partisan tool that clings to liberal dogma on here.

Economy wise, nothing will change. The US economy will not charge again while Europe is in recession (and they are, projected all the way through 2013) and China is weakening. For all of the grand talk about the economy, and how it's not growing fast enough, people forget that America is not in a bubble - it reacts to world conditions. And right now, those world conditions aren't so hot. Amongst developed nations, the US is actually doing quite well.

4. treehuggers will have less influence, people and jobs will come before snails
5. woman will still have their rights to use contraceptives and to have abortions, perhaps without federal funding though
6.radical Islamic terrorists will be punished if they kill our ambassadors
Yes that is what will change. People will have hope again for their futures. Right now lot of folks shaking their heads wondering what the future will hold.

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.

Amen to that.

When will the rest of the country see it so we may join hands in reclaiming this government that has been stolen from the people.

People here won't get it till it's far too late. I don't think we'll ever be able to do much about it.

About the only reasoning I can cite for supporting Romney rather than Johnson would be to stop the assault on the precedent-based rule of law by what I view as a dangerous, blindly Left-leaning "activist judiciary".

Other than that, the election boils down to the weakling we don't know vs. the ideologue we do.

Doesn't your school district have a locally elected board? Doesn't your state have a public education dept that decides state issues?

Romney would just cut funding, leaving these education departments at all levels with fewer resources. Meaning teachers would be fired along with janitors, coaches, and classes would be packed to overflowing.

I read lots of right wing belly-aching about how poor the schools are in America these days. If their boy Romney calls the shots they'll go down the chute to 3rd world conditions.

Bullcrap. School districts have plenty of money it just isn't spent appropriatly. My school district came whining this year about how they are over budget and will have to make cuts. The usual song and dance BS. They sure found the money to build a 1.5 million dollar baseball field last year though. I don't wanna hear they need more money. They got plenty.

9. lower capital gains taxes

10. cooperation again with our traditional military allies

11. getting tough with Iran

12. renegotiating China trade policies and NAFTA

13. possibility of passing a balanced budget amendment



A lot will change for the better. Even liberals will be better off economically. Further, liberals will be happy again, as they can get back to protesting and complaining about the homeless again- a couple of the things they love the most.
i like everything on that list , except for "getting tough" with iran.

i don't like dealing with problems that may occur, but problems IF they occur. i don't like any government assassinating scientists-i understand it happens (and has happened previously around the world) but i don't believe that is what civilized people do.

i think our motto should be a strong DEFENSIVE military-so we can handle anything that might come up, from anywhere.

i think iran is highly overrated as a dangerous "power". they have inflation of 23.5 percent, with:
population below poverty line 18.7% living below $11/day, and 3.1% living below $2/day .
