On the contrary, I'm just not an Ontologuist. I don't have to believe the same stuff you do (including romantic visions of third party domination) to maintain my Centrism. Besides, my analysis was more from statistics and history than anything related to sycophantic behavior.

You can go on ahead and create your own little philosophical platform. The rest of us will ignore it.

I wouldn't put it that way but I think Romney is more a traditionalist where as Obama of the two is more likely to commission a remolding worthy of the technology age. Neither very likely to but if one were going to I think it would be Obama.

If Mittens triumphs as I expect he will, we will see a more advanced economic recovery at a faster pace than has been evident for the past few years. Corporations will open up the vaults of all those trillions of dollars and spending will return.

GNP will rise and corporate earnings and profits will rise.

Sadly, corporations and their upper tier will be the ones to benefit from this. With the organized suppression of unions and the slide back in wages and benefits, the working class WILL NOT benefit from the recovery in the least. It will be a day of nirvana for the rich and corporations.

That's funny! He may be square but he is smart and honest, and that's sexy. :mrgreen:

If Mitt Romney wins then, maybe, the media will start doing it's job again.

If Romney wins the economic recovery will come to a screeching halt due to more military spending and deregulation a la Bush. That's the problem. Also, with fewer and fewer young people being able to get higher degrees, more Bush/Romney assaults on education and affordability will result in longterm productivity losses, not to mention the infrastructure degradation that was rife under Bush, but which Obama halted with the Stimulus Act.

So, I think political posturing will be rather moot -- we will have a real economic crisis under more Bush conservative policies and that scares me.

What REALLY scares you is the idea that the freeloading will soon be over for all those people on the "Progressive" dime. Some people will actually have to go out and look for employment and at least make a VALID attempt to find a job, a REAL job. Heck, they may even have to sell their big TV and stop getting a new tattoo every month.

the best consolation for Obama supporters is that Romney has no pause to gobble up the people on his side also. The people who voted for romney will have to live with the destruction he brings to their lives. Considering they are the closest and most open they will be the first hit.

Of course it seems that even nature has it in for romney so i don't think that is even going to be an issue.

While I agree that it seems as if Obama will be re-elected, I do not think "nature" has anything to do with it. I believe it is the idiocy of the american electorate, or should I say a large percentage of that group of people. They are like sheep beng herded towards a shearing. Not thinking independantly, just letting MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN tell them what to think and believe. Bush = BAD!!!! Clinton = GREAT!!! Romney = Bush, Obama > Clinton!!!! The "Progressive" movement is the absolute worse thing that has ever happened and the new "Champion" of that movement it appears will be given a new lease on the White House and will lead this country to the next great depression and attack from outside.

I suppose it is better than the alternative. I mean a Romney win would probably result in weeks of rioting in the inner cities of Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, LA and New York. Only the Almighty knows how many law suits would be filed over ballots and "voter fraud". If there is even a chance that Romney wins the "Chicago Mafia" will surely have "Go Teams" of lawyers ready to deploy at a minutes notice to Fla, Va, Oh, NV, Mi and Wi.

Eliminating the deficit was a pretty popular idea during the Clinton years. Gingrich may be a horrible human being but those guys wanted to make the government look... and then the bipartisan love-in was broken up by the corruption of the DFL and the insane, nonsensical waste of time that was the push to impeach Clinton. Personally, I believe that it was during this time the media found out just how much money they could make by playing the two parties off of each other.

To this very day, we think Americans hate each other because that's what we're told. 90% of us agree 90% of the time, but 10% of us waste 90% of our time on complete garbage. This is what I want to see change. So I think if Romney wins, we might be brought back together when we see that Romney has absolutely no intention whatsoever of doing anything differently. He'll continue to produce massive debt because the President has a tiny portion of the power most Americans believe him to have.

Unfortunately, while a failed Romney administration would prove what a circus Washington is right now, I'm not sure people would see it, believe it, or both.

Honest? The only way you could think that is if you believe he is genuinely politically schizophrenic. :lol:

I can certainly see how you'd be concerned about the prospect of a Romney win considering the world view you seem to have.

Deregulation hurts the economy? Really? Deregulation by Reagan resulted in an economic boom.

Low productivity is due to a lack of education? Really? We've got way more educated young people than we have jobs for as it is. Maybe you ought to consider other possible causes of poor productivity.

Where are these roads and bridges, or whatever, that were built with stimulus money and how exactly are they boosting the economy?

Most recently right now on TV in his closing arguments to the American people. I believe what he is saying. I pray that he is elected and that he proves himself to all of us to be the great Preident that I believe he will be.
