"The world won't change much if Mitt wins"... do you think this is true?

Please help me out here.
Perhaps this is a correct statement and I'm the one that's out of my mind?

1. this seems like it would belong in meta forum

anyway, I don't think the world would end if Romney somehow won (which I doubt he could pull off, he is a terrible candidate)

For instance, I don't think he would be as bad as the hurricane of destruction and apocalypse Bush Jr. was. Should I?

2. actually

being as his winning would probably mean loosing the Senate, as well as the Repubs keeping the house.. look for the post office to be history within 2 years, followed by the privatization of social security, and continued privatization of education..

the truly scary thing is the supreme court going from 5-4 to 6-3 or worse.. in short this is probably the most important election of my 65 year old life..

14. Romney admin will be Bush Jr. x 10

Same economic trickle down advisors and neo-con war hawks have signed on with Mitt.

And he has signed every deranged " social issues " pledge out there.

And his first allegiance will be to the Kochs and Grover Norquist.

3. No, he'll sign the Ryan budget.

That alone would radically change the country for the worse. We can pile on from there but this one single thing is enough to make a mockery of that statement.

It would be a disaster.

4. The nature of the world and the cosmos - no - of course not.

The economic landscape of the US and corpo entities, yes. Our lifestyles and economic power and status - yes.

The man is an out of touch elitist. How could he not fuck things up?

5. Degree is debatable, direction is certain

For the worse, the only question is how badly.

SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT

7. Your link goes to...

...yet another "Obama doesn't do exactly what I WANT so he's just like bush" thread. Yawn. It's too bad that these posters don't seem to remember what happened as a result of taking that stance in 2010.

PEACE!

[Zalatix]

12. Exactly. Remember 2010.

8. what is surprising is that post like that make the greatest pages

There are enough trolls that will recommend a thread like that to try and give it credibility.

None of these single issues non-supporters think of the alternative. All they think of is I didn't get my way on THIS ISSUE alone, so I can't support the candidate.

This poster made several threads similar to the one you link, each stating the same thing and each making it to the greatest pages. That would never have happened a few years ago, the hardliners on this site would have run that poster off.

9. All that will change is the speed with which we approach the cliff edge

Under Obama and the Dems, it will be a bit slower. Under Romney and the 'Pugs it will be a bit quicker. Either way, we're still going over the edge.

11. Maybe. Maybe not. In any case I sure as fuck prefer

slower.

[cali]

10. an emphatic no.

Mitt + Repuke Congress = dismantling of Social Safety Net

[emulatorloo]

13. + 1. And they will win the war on all of us, especially women, minorities, and gays

15. It will change - backwards about 100 years.
