I doubt anything would be better.

The deficit and debt would still be sky-high, because Republicans only care about those things when they're not holding the Presidency.

The economy would have sucked EVEN MORE.

There would probably be no financial reform enacted.

Healthcare would be failing fast, and your insurer could dump you for any long-term illnesses.

We'd probably have troops on the ground in both Iran and Syria, leaving our soldiers to die for a bunch of people who wouldn't turn them over if they were drowning in a puddle.

OR

McCain would have died from the stress, and

SARAH PALIN WOULD BE PRESIDENT.

Really, do we wanna take a chance on these guys?

You forgot that every country in the world would have lost respect for us, the auto industry would have been lost for good, and the draft would have been reinstated.

Very convincing

This is from someone who'll repeat the same mistake of voting for Obama again.

It would be round about the same with McCain. However, the republican party did not take that election seriously. They knew before the election this is a lost one regardless. That is why their strategy has been quite steady dealing with the democrats right at the start. What amazes me is how stupid the party has been the last 4 years. You'd thing their strategy would have evolved somewhat but has receded as far as I'm concerned.

Which actually has happened under Obama.

GM went bankrupt AFTER we gave them billions in taxpayer's money. There would have been no change if they'd have filed for bankruptcy without the taxpayer's money.

BTW....GM still owes us over $40 Billion.....$30 Billion of which we'll never get repaid.

Where in the WORLD did you ever get that idea? The ONLY people who've been talking about re-instating the draft were all Democrats.....Key Democrat Wants to Reinstate Draft

Most if not all the men in this country would be holding a firearm not against outsiders but against our neighbors for we will see hell on earth, right here in the land of the (supposed) free.
