With all the doom and gloom and panty twisting, I think it is appropriate to ask.
 
I appreciate this might get me labled as a "climate denier" but Im fairly sure the altitude of the sky isnt determined by mans activities at the ballot box.

Perhaps it is caused by related things.....

Coroner’s report: man killed by meteorite had marijuana in his system « Drug WarRant

"A representative of the Coalition to Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in California claimed that the meteorite strike was unrelated to marijuana use, but was unable to precisely explain why Jonah Ellis was hit."
 
The sky won't fall completely. It will simply lower until it creates a black, smothering blanket of abject despair, obliterating all hope for a promising future and rendering the world a dull, lifeless, wretched place suffocating under the weight of it's impenetrable curtain of life-sucking oppressiveness.

I don't really anticipate anything too drastic, in the short term, regardless of who is elected.


We, as a nation, have a number of serious problems that are not going to be easily solved by either candidate.

Personally, I think Obama is approaching our national issues from the wrong perspective, and has demonstrated that he lacks the ability to address them in an effective manner.

OTOH I do not have any real confidence in Romney either.

Contrariwise, we as a nation have ENORMOUS resources and economic and military assets, and OUGHT to be able to weather our economic and political woes and come out in decent shape.

I don't pretend to be able to predict what is going to happen in the next four years... I suspect there will be continuing hard times for most ordinary folks regardless.

I am of the opinion that there is a modestly better chance that, four years from now, we might be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel if Romney wins.... but of course, one never knows if the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight or an oncoming train. :mrgreen:


On the whole, I'm kinda Meh about the whole thing. I think we've got troubles coming regardless of who wins, but I don't really think we're going over a cliff just the now either.
 
Regardless of who is elected, if we continue to spend at current levels, this government will fail soon. Not in 50 years. Not next decade...in the next 5 years.

I am an optimist--I give us 10 years--but yeah that.....
 
I won't be able to tell as I will be too busy spiking the football.

That's the suffocating atmosphere we've had imposed on us by both the Left and the Right since the 1960s. The difference is Obama is far more immersed in his failed ideology than Romney is in his, which is why so many on the Right are disappointed in Romney while few Leftists feels that way about Obama. Romney is flexible and pragmatic and won't get stubbornly stuck on the wrong track like Obama has done.
 
It's hard to fall off the floor! but not impossible!

It will stay where it's at. Not that it leaves the Republic in a great plce, but if we can survive 8 years of Bush, we can survive anything. I'd just rather maybe not have to survive 8 years of crap. Perhaps one election cycle the Republocrats won't inundate us with crap choices.
 
The sky will turn into a series of black holes that sweep through the country at random times sucking people up. Sleep tight, America!

Why don't NASA's Trekkies do something useful like mapping all the minerals and oil hidden below the surface? They could have developed a neutrino-based Geiger Counter GPS to do that if they hadn't wasted all that money on Space Cowboy joy rides.

One thing that might cause global warming is all the hot air emitted by the sermons of the degenerate Treehuggers.
 
The sky wouldn't fall of course, but imagine if you can what it would be like for a candidate to suddenly not worry about being voted out of office prematurely. I would imagine that candidate would be more apt to pass laws without much worry.

Fortunately, the President doesn't pass laws.

What we do have to worry about is his use of Executive Orders.
 
If that other rodney is voted in by the nutters, we are all dead.
 
I think the economy will recover slightly just because it's supposed to. I don't understand all the conservatives betting the economy will continue to decrease, it doesn't trend that way in a capitalist system whether Obama was there or not, it will increase back on it's own. If it doesn't, well damn, Obama is even worse than I thought... it has already been too slow of a recovery and I think his policies and lack there of contribute to it.
BUT, I think we will go into another recession if the debt is not solved.
