If Romney does win, he'll almost certainly sweep a Republican Senate in with him.

[pnwmom]

Leaving us with an undivided tea-bagger government, and only whatever power of filibuster remained.



A scary thought.

[jpbollma]

1. There would be no fillibuster

That is the first thing they would get rid of.

[DFW]

2. If Romney does win

I will mean that the last free election held in the United States was held in 2008. Nice while it lasted.

But I still don't see a Romney victory, or a Republican Senate. My the Force keep me correct on both counts.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

3. But Obama won't let me have my dope man...

I have like pain and shit, we need to teach him a lesson man...

[dennis4868]

4. haha...

I like that...sad but true.

[RoccoR5955]

7. And this "lesson" you will teach him...

will help you to get your damn weed?
I DON'T THINK SO!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. I think Sen. was being facetious.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

14. Maybe...

I'm just sick of single issue cranks who are ready to watch the world burn over stupid issues.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

13. I don't care man, like Obama and Romney are the same

if I can't have my weed it doesn't matter who is president, Obama shouldn't take us for granted man.

[RoccoR5955]

17. So then I guess that you are...

A Ron Paulie Girl?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. I stand corrected. Sounds like he/she is one of those cry-baby single issue folks

So sad....

[onehandle]

5. For us it would be, Hello Europe! Goodbye, Teabagistan. nt

[Ohio Progressive]

6. Book Burning

will be the new norm and I suspect it will accompany a purge of 'leftist' professors.

[Speck Tater]

8. I'm into my second year of intensive study of the Spanish Language.

I plan on moving south to retire. Far south.

I'm not going to be like those who didn't leave Nazi Germany while they had the chance. By the time they close the borders and Limbaugh's brown shirts are rounding up liberals I'll be gone.

[Jamaal510]

10. Not only that, but he'll get to appoint more RW justices to the SCOTUS.

That would be a setback of epic proportions for egalitarianism in America.

[pnwmom]

11. Ugh. n/t

[spiderpig]

12. Most of you must have read Stephen King's "The Stand"

where most of the US was wiped out by killer flu, and the remaining populace were summoned by a good soul or an evil soul to battle it out.

Don't need to explain further.

Are so many people that dumb, self-centered or "evil"? I don't know because I don't associate with them. But they're there in large numbers.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. That would be a nightmare scenario IMHO

They'll definitely keep the House under those circumstances as well. Let's make damned sure NOT to let THAT happen!


Remember: Elections have consequences, people, 2010 being the most recent cautionary tale!

[Mutiny In Heaven]

16. You'd also be looking at 12 - 16 years of GOP rule

In 2016, he'd be re-elected due to a huge financial advantage and the ability to blame Obama.

By 2020, they'll tout an economic upturn - one which looks okay on paper but only benefits the extremely wealthy - and warn against letting another 'socialist' take the reins. By this time, Obama will be a distant enough memory and the propaganda do heavy that the majority will blame him for ALL of Bush's economic strife. Big business will be loving this and continue to fund the GOP massively thanks to CIT-U.

2024, people may be getting tired of them, but they'll still have a huge funding advantage and more propaganda than ever before, for so many will have grown up with them.

Unless Obama is the man to oversee the recovery over the next four years and continue to - slowly - reverse the GOP course, you're looking at a long, long time under Romney & co. I wouldn't even be surprised if it's 20-24 years unbroken.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money who'd greet that lack of regulation and unprecedented tax cutting with such delight, that they'd be happy to spend billions ensuring it remains in place for as long as possible.

Lose this year, and Joe Manchin will be parlayed into a socialist commie, such is the right turn the Democratic Party will have to undergo in order to remain competitive going forward.

[KoKo]

20. That's quite Scary...What if Obama wins Second Term, though. What's your scenario for that?

Is it a flourishing of Progressive Democrats for 12 years or more?

[KoKo]

19. Stats from other elections show that Average Americans really prefer a President from One Party

ruling over a Divided House.

I don't have the stats but a Google or WIKI might verify what I say as garbage or truth.
