Zero and his handlers can do a lot of damage from then till romney’inauguration
One thing we know for sure, if your patient
has a sucking chest wound and you don’t stop it up
they are going to DIE.
One of the things we have to do is prevent reinfection
which means democrats have to GO!
Get them out of the Senate, out of State, every where
they have their claws deep into the body politic.
You make some great points there, esp about ‘2008 glory days’. In fact if the 2005 glory days were REALLY so great then the economy wouldn't have fell off a cliff 2007 to 2008.
I think the 1950s economy is not the least bit realizable now. In the 1950s the economy was so strong that it could support some income tax rates of 90%.
They didn't have anything like this globalized economy back then, the Far East was a third world and Europe was decimated by war. The US was able to move from a total war economy to a manufacturing economy with virtually NO competition. The Truman Doctrine made Western Europe welfare clients of the US because of those things, and we had the money to do it.
I appreciate your comment. I appreciate others who don't drink the Koolaid.
Somebody pass the list of pardons
That needed to be restated.
I find it completely disconcerting that we're seeing the same kind of blind quasi-religious devotion to Romney like we've seen with Obama's drones and Ron Paul's Mob Zombies. Suddenly Romney himself is going to stop the rising seas and save us from our debt and collapsing culture!
How anyone with a shred of intellect, looking at his record as a Liberal Democrat, can assume Romney is our national salvation - is beyond my capacity to comprehend.
Consequences of DECADES of the Ruling Class making Government God and spending us into oblivion, are just NOW beginning to be reaped.
We haven't seen ANYTHING yet, and Romney is not going to stop or fix this near-engineered collapse. He'll only exacerbate it, based on his record.
Well, after I wake up with a massive hangover and a huge smile on my face...
My powers of observation tell me you have some anger issues!
If Romney wins then QE on a monthly basis stops. Liquidity in the market dries up. Stocks will not rally, most likely fall. Gas/Oil stocks will rally. Loss of liquidity has effect on loan market and cretit is harder to find. Inflation will finally set in unless Romney has a magic rabbit in his hat.
The instant he is elected

Willard will do whatever he wants to...
Where or not that will include anything he lied about to be your vote is another thing entirely...
Willard is not the savior of America...
hes just a guy with a lifelong ambition and an entitlement mentality to be president...
he hasnt personally thought beyond that goal...
“The sad thing is that 6 months ago 95% of FReepers would have backed up what I said.”
and in 6 months they will again..
Got to get rid of the 2014 OCare tax and penalty train coming down the tracks. Otherwise Romney’s presidency is cosmetic.
You don’t want oil at $50/barrel. It costs about $70/barrel to produce oil in the Bakken And Eagle Ford deposits. If oil falls less than that, it kills off a lot of American production.
1.5 to 2 trillion dollars being held back by business.
Romney isnt the one to determine anything other than foreign policy. It is the CONGRESS who determines domestic policy. Hasnt happened under this administration like that has it?
First thing is, a moving economy. Then the rest. Until then, nothing can, nor will be done.
We will never see a return to the economy of ther 1950s. Unless of course you reduce all of the other economies to rubble, which was what the rest of the world was recovering from back then.
But, there is not a large difference between the two, Romney and Obama, other than this: for all his faults and weaknesses from a social and even fiscal conservative point of view, he does not hate this country. I've seen ample evidence that Obama does.
In the rough times that are just as surely ahead if Romney wins as they are if Obama does, I'd rather have the middling good-government type with at least some degree of empathy for and identification with Americans, than the barely concealed radical who wants to continue to damage the economy and the institutions of the United States in an attempt at remolding it.
There is no other candidate remotely positioned to unseat Obama. Obama has got to go. Beyond that, I have no delusions as to just what we'd be getting.
We'd be getting a slight improvement who would be adverse to rocking the boat too much, the very sort of politician that got us to this place to begin with. He'll cause problems too, just on a less breathtaking scale and on a less breakneck schedule.
He buys a little time and will have less animosity towards us. That's all we have this election cycle.
Sad, but it's so. I’ve chosen to try to work with it. Yet again. Getting tiresome, I'll admit.
You might well be right, but at the barest of minimums, Romney is not the vile creature we now call Mr. President.
Obama is the embodiment of treachery, and the most average American serving as president will be light years better for our country.
I still marvel at the cognitive dissonance of so many who somehow assume that the votes are actually going to come out the way we assume the people voted.
Cook County has gone national and there is not a single Marxist in all history that I can find, that EVER left power because of an election that did not go his way.
These cretins are playing for keeps - and the rules do not matter, only the ends are justified by whatever means they can accomplish. Sadly, the Ruling Class seems to know where the power is going to lie - and based on their actions - are doing everything they can to share in it.
I’m thinking past November and I will not be a bit surprised when America finds itself in a state of shock that Obama will remain in power past January.
And if by some miraculous twist, and defiance of history Romney actually assumes office - I do not expect a damn thing to change in terms of where we now find ourselves. The consequences of the last 4 years have not even begun to fully bloom. Once they do - I expect the Ruling Class will do as the Ruling Class always does; preserve itself at the expense of the rest of us.
I'm with Cripple Creek. Obamacare will not be repealed making hiring still iffy. And while I don't have anything against Romney he wont be able to get it done. There is no one that can lead us from the inevitable crash and burn that has to take place.
Also, the homeless will be back on page one - they've been AWOL - and unemployment numbers above 5 will be a disaster. The MSM gets bias - it's their stock and trade.

-— Willard is not Reagan ——
True, but Reagan didn’t have the House or Senate, did he? Looking back, it’s amazing that he accomplished so much.
I do think things will turn around right away. Business expansions have been put on hold for years. Businesses are lean. A lot have cash. Politically, the Tea Party movement is strong, and can pressure Mitt. I’m sure a few Dem senators can be pressured to cross the aisle.
Let’s just pray that we get to this problem.
You won’t notice the difference other than a few smiles. People out of work can’t spend. And on Nov 7th they’ll still be out of work and gas will still be $4 a gallon.
I will not be a bit surprised when America finds itself in a state of shock that Obama will remain in power past January.

Yes. Yes they do.
History is one of my hobbies. It is useful at times.

So don't start celebrating yet.”

Wow, thanks for the reminder...almost forgot.
I remember all the “conservative” FReepers joining the likes of Politico when they were trashing our early GOP field like Bachmann, Cain, Perry, and Santorum. These same “conservatives” are now bitching that we're stuck with Romney. Pfft.
If nobody has bothered to arrest him for treason in 4 years...
That has not escaped my notice at all either. Thanks for reminding us. Obama could declare himself king for life and who would stop him?
Crybaby Boehner? McConnelturtle? The TEA party that Romney and the GOP-e just rendered irrelevant during the NRC?
To most - it's simply UNTHINKABLE - therefore, the idea that it could happen... doesn't exist. And if their mind entertains it for a minute - they will usually fall on the false hope that SCOTUS or the military will somehow ride on in to enforce the rule of law and save us - when we already have a record that illegal and unConstitutional usurpations of the law, are in-fact, made legal by decree.
Boy is this country in for a surprise.
People have lost too much to do this.
Besides it’s really more about ousting Obama, not celebrating Romney.
Obama is destroying our nation at break neck speed. We will not survive another term of Obama. Ok, are you getting this so far? Whether you or I like it, Romney won the GOP Primary! Get over it! Whatever Romney is, he does not hate the country, and has as his goal, the mission to destroy it as founded.
We see our country being destroyed by a Marxist, and we're supporting the GOP primary winner. Sorry, but the only thing “disconcerting” is the attitudes of selfish, spoiled brats like yourself, pitching a fit because your candidate did not win. The GOP Primary is over. It's now time to defeat the “real” enemy...OBAMA!
No, but I do expect little people to dress up and sing:
Ding dong, the Kenyan’s gone
He took is bong, we sing this song
Ding dong, the commie Kenyan’s gone!
I remember early in the primary when left-leaning rags like Politico were doing hit pieces on Cain, Bachmann, and Perry. Many of the same people bitching about Romney being our GOP candidate, were joining these rags in trashing our guys: “Yep, Cain just isn't ready for prime time.” And now these same people have the stones to bitch about Romney?
Get a life!
Very well said.
Hiring upticks a little, gas falls a little, holiday spending rises a little. We don’t see serious economic change until Obamacare and Dodd-Frank is repealed. Jmo.
A lot of what could happen depends on who controls the Senate.
America could have survived a tyrant like Obama. What it cannot survive are the legions of fools that put him into power. Close to HALF the population. The math isn't hard. Sorry to bust the plastic bubble you live in - but Conservatives are now a minority bub.
Whether you or I like it, Romney won the GOP Primary!
Through Ruling Class treachery and sabotage. I don't forget. But then again, I'm a Conservative - not a Republican, so I can care less who they crown their prince. This time, they anointed a Democrat Socialist to wear the crown.
I won't be voting for him.
We see our country being destroyed by a Marxist, and we're supporting the GOP primary winner.
Good luck with that. You people certainly do not need nor want my help. Romney made that perfectly clear Tuesday night at the RNC. Sorry, but the only thing “disconcerting” is the attitudes of selfish, spoiled brats like yourself, pitching a fit because your candidate did not win.
You are so shallow, cowardly and void of principles, all you have is ridicule and insult, pointing your guns at those who stand on their faith and principles while exclaiming they are selfish because they won't pull the lever for your political messiah.
Project much?
It's now time to defeat the “real” enemy...OBAMA!
If you think your vote will accomplish that - good luck.
I'm thinking past November.
Anyone who thinks that Romney or anyone else is going save the USA from its economic collapse is delusional. First off it is too late...Thanks to the former and current administration. Secondly the only way in which it is even possible to try would be political suicide. And no politician is willing to go down that road. The math does not lie.
Oh, now that's mature; your candidate didn't win, so now you're not going to vote. Sorry, but I stand by my earlier description of you as a selfish, spoiled brat. If the diaper fits, wear it. ;-)

Does the term wet blanket mean anything to you? Just kidding ;-)
But seriously, I’m choosing to cast my lot with folks who still have hope. You want to give up, you go right ahead. Defeatism, and negativity always foster self-fullfilling prophesies. There are still a lot of good intelligent folks who haven’t given up yet...I won’t either.
Cheers!
I think that the peculiar buoyancy of the stock market recently is actually a Romney win baked-in. However, the next few years won’t be very good economically - but he can blame The Bammer for at least a few years, given the precedents; also, I think that a good number of people will give him some slack to get the debt under control.
What I DO worry about, is a very nasty, dirty Dem majority as an even nastier, dirtier Dem minority. And The Bammer as an ex-president might even be worse then he was as a president. Case in point: Carter. And Obama is much younger than Carter was and I don’t see him fading into the sunset for the next 30-40 years.
“We will never see a return to the economy of ther 1950s. Unless of course you reduce all of the other economies to rubble, which was what the rest of the world was recovering from back then.”
I don’t think that enough people realize this. There is a very good case to be made that the period between 1948-1970 (or possibly ‘80) was an economic anomaly that simply won’t be repeatable. It isn’t so much that we have sunk, as much as the ROW has “caught up”. And, we helped them do it!
Many people are dreamers. But dreams can’t overcome the math, or provide a realistic path from the doom box we have put ourselves in. There are too many takers in society now that would not stand for it.
If O wins, the people who “sat on their hands” to prove a point or because they are “sore” will probably be very scarce on this board for some time...
I expect a big sale @ K-Mart the day after the election day. Need some elegant threads.
Listen - I’m not voting for a Democrat Socialist. Romney’s record as Governor speaks to that FACT. As does his record on Abortion, homosexual rights, infringing on the Second Amendment and a host of other things ANATHEMA to a Conservative Christian. I don’t care what he ‘won’. His alliance with Obama’s media to destroy Palin, then Perry, Cain and every other candidate in the primary is not exactly a secret. Do your own homework -it’s out there on the net.
Here’s a quick sample: “Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts”, Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen’s groups and gun safety advocates. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.” - July 1st, 2004 — Mitt Romney”
Romney’s not getting my vote. Ever. Period. End of sentence.
My vote goes to a staunch Christian Conservative. I’ll write one in if I have to.
Voting for Romney is a violation of my faith and Conservative principles inasmuch as voting for the Marxist. In fact, I see no difference between those two on record.
You obviously have no principles other than being a GOP-e party hack that worships at the altar of Romney. If that is selfish and a spoiled brat in your estimation - SO BE IT.
I can care less what you and your kind think. You’re not much different than the immoral and unprincipled Democrats IMO; where Party comes before God and everything else in life.
