I think that the GOP will be blown apart if Romney wins the election. Romney is currently tying himself to a lot of untenable positions that he will not be able to deliver on. Whether he realizes this or not is anybody's guess. He will likely have to govern from near the middle, which will have the far right, who is just itching to get that power back, up in arms. That's my take.
It won't matter to the ones pulling the strings on both parties.
Party affiliation hasn't ended the "State of Emergency" in place, since 1933.
It hasn't affected the bankruptcy of the U.S. government, declared in 1933.
Steve you should address this with Jet.
He is right but for 2 years his words get passed by..... This is serious business.
This is a perfect study of the left... You could earn money with these posts today. I wish i could see and then articulate like you and i mean it!
I appreciate the rare acknowledgment.
Most liberals hate seeing their hypocrisy. You can read how they know they're being hypocritical, yet continue on anyway. Conservatives hate being shown that their pushing grandiose agendas while basking in Reagan's shadow. Neither party has a prayer of fixing anything as long as they aspire to the status quo. Sad but true.
My take is that we should fire all the politicians and change everyone out with a vote. The problem is that we are only offered the candidates that have been approved by the masters.
We need to remove special interests and lobbyists, reset the Constitution to its basic premise, gut the FED, and maybe then we'll have a slight chance of pulling this out. Otherwise, it's going to be $30T in debt, $10 loaves of bread, .002% controlling all the wealth, the middle class decimated, and a free USA nothing more than a relic of history.
I'm not exactly a Dem but I doubt my life would change one whit to be honest. Lot's of noise will be made but that's about it.
I'm not exactly a Republican, but, I'm seeing life changing for everyone.
The problems that we face today are very similar to what the citizens of 30's Germany faced. Keep in mind that Hitler was the leader of The National Socialist Party. Once again, we have a party that is re-branding socialism as being "Progressive" This time around, if they gain total power, they'll go after all religion, demonize the traditional family, and embrace any immorality.
Does this sound even remotely familiar to anyone?
It really should...
Everyone should take the time to read this expose on the Nazi machine and how it took power. The similarity is quite a revelation. http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0403a.asp
The Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that they were being cowed.... On the contrary, they supported it with genuine enthusiasm. Somehow it imbued them with a new hope and a new confidence and an astonishing faith in the future of their country.
I am just curious what our Dem posters will do if they should lose the Senate, lose seats in the house and lose the oval office. Just a what if. Would you re-evaluate where you stand with the american electorate? Would you move to Canada? What exactly would you do?
Even the Repubicans project they will lose seats in the house simply because they took so many swing districts in 2010. They'll lose a good chunk of those in 2012 plus it was only a question of would the Republicans win 1-2 seats in the Senate but they're doing their best to lose seats by nominating complete loons who have no chance of winning a general election. As for Romney, his goose is cooked.
It honestly sounds like you're in the bargaining stage of dealing with grief. I know this election is going to be hard for you but rest assured it will all be over soon and the Repubs aren't going to get what they want.

So please tell us all about this "Obama terror" that's been going on since 2009, and be sure to draw exact historical parallels with the Third Reich.

Sorry, I am not such a biased fool as to believe anything is a slam dunk at this point. The polls show it to be very close and Obama has a lot of liability at this point. As for the house and senate, there may be a few losses in the House, but the Senate, I believe will most likely fall to the republican party. (Damn shame it couldn't fall to the libertarians). If you didn't enjoy being a cheerleader so much, you might see that it is a very real possibility that Obama could lose this election....
RAH RAH!!

Individuals can't be held responsible for what happens to an entire political party. The only things we can control are our actions and responses as individuals.
