I think we can survive, and may even do better under Obama than Romney. Here’s why.

The House is already standing up to Obama. If we make gains in the senate, we can largely shut Obama’s agenda down.

And, with Obama still in the White House, we're stuck with Obamacare. No way that a Republican House and Senate can overcome a presidential veto. It means Obamacare Forever.

And, with that, we will eventually lose the economic freedom and personal liberty that remains. Meaning, long-term, America is lost.

Sorry. But four more years of Obama is a dumb idea. One of the very dumbest ideas I've ever heard...

You really think Romney will overturn it? Romney is the father of Obamacare.

Romney will do some things different if Congress backs him. Romney will structure the penalty as a tax credit instead of as a tax. He’ll raise the general tax level and give you some money back if you buy insurance. It’ll be a little more palatable in that we’re already use to tax credits as incentives for various behaviors. But in essense it will be the same. It’s just semantics.

Romney will also probably change it from a Federal program to a voluntary state program. However the Federal purse strings attached will make it almost impossible for any state not to implement it. It’s still not an enumerated power and the end result is exactly the same.

Romney will present it differently but the end result is exactly the same. It’s what he did in Massachusetts and he’s always defended what he did there. Even though it’s practically bankrupted the state.

And I would have agreed with you that 4 more years of Obama is a dumb idea. That is, until the GOP nominated a liberal non-Christian with a history of supporting gay marriage, big government, gun control and abortion as their candidate.

And now it’s two equally dumb ideas, and I won’t vote for either.
