Well...?
No.
#1: Most of my Pub friends think Obama will win, and don't trust Romney for the next 10 days.
#2: If Romney wins, so what? It's not like there will be a big difference in government, outside Supreme Court appointments.
#3: Liberals have bigger balls than conservatives. We don't worry and rub our hands in anguish over life. We are more laid back. We aren't the ones scared that the rest of the world is out to get us. Romney wins? Ok. Our lives aren't dictated by the actions of others. We don't have to act tough to be tough.
As long as my gay friends can get married sometime soon I'll be happy. That's about the only substantive difference between liberals and conservatives that really affects me
Well...?
I'm not convinced much would be different under Romney, so not really worried. It would be interesting to see what unfolds. I think Romney would have the same growing pains as Obama did as he learns his way. And I would like to see if he cuts taxes and makes cuts to spending beyond what he's promised so far, and if not, what the reaction will be if he digs us even deeper into a hole.
A tightening of the race in surprising places - I awoke to a MN poll by the Mpls Star Tribune that was +3 for Obama (down from +8 a month ago) that is within the margin of error (+3.5)
Romney has his focus where it should be-- on spending-- and not on stupid social issues like abortion or gay marriage (which should rightfully be confined to the states). He may be a tool and too flippity floppity for many, but I honestly don't know how anybody with a brain can vote for Obama. The guy is not only toxic with his economic policy, but a total dick as well (as confirmed by the debates and Woodward's book).
If Romney is elected and doesn't deliver on spending promises, the Republican Party is dead. Not only to me, but nationally. If there is any reason to root for a Romney presidency among Dems, it is for that possibility alone. This Tea Party shit isn't simply a concoction of the Koch brothers. The sentiment underlying it is very real. If Pubs can't reign in spending, they may as well go fuck themselves. We don't have a Cold War anymore, and we don't have fighting wars anymore. No more excuses. Don't take the money spent for that and spend it elsewhere. Simply don't fucking spend it. At all.
Anyway, sorry. A bit of a rant there on a thread that didn't invite it. I blame my Sunday hangover.
