No beer?Like every election night, I will be sitting in front of the tube, eating pizza, watching it all play out.

Obviously, the election is going to play out, and we will find out if I am wrong. Regarding the poster above you: It appears that you have laid out a situation where there is upheaval either way. If it calms your mind a bit, I will tell you right now, the sky is not falling. You are right about one thing, we are moving towards a 'more' Socialist State - whether that is a good or bad thing, we will see. now don't go pulling a Hitler or Stalin out of your hat; there are plenty of Socialist States that have not committed mass murder.
And the irony of this observation is that much of what will influence the beginning of an economic recovery is perception... the very perception that Obama will lose will very likely spur the start of a recovery. If it happens so early that it fools the muddle in the middle (no doubt that he will claim it's his policies, rather than the relief that he's about to be unemployed that started the recovery), it could back-fire, leaving the disaster in office for another round of recession-causing policies.The one card that can play into KO hands and benefit him is the economy. If it turns around, substantially, prior to the election, he has a shot; but if unemployment stays the same and the economy stays about the same, it will weigh around his neck like a boat anchor being tossed into the Abyss.

"Whether a socialist state is a good or bad thing...."
If you do not know the answer to this then....
Like every election night, I will be sitting in front of the tube, eating pizza, watching it all play out. President Obama is going to hold the White House, and Republicans are going to lose some seats (not many, but they will lose). The country is moving center-left, becoming more liberal. I merely see the baby-boomers making a big deal of all this as their last ditch effort to hold onto their dogmatic views. Baby Boo-ers, step aside, take your undying devotion to Individualism, take your consumerism, take your money, and go to pasture somewhere, far away from the system that you spent decades destroying.
She'll be packing up all of her beer and shipping it to me.:banana:
I don't know how anyone can argue her position, it defies logic and ignores too many important facts. Obozo did not run as a flaming marxist zealot. He ran as a "unifier" who was going to bring the parties together just like Mclame did. He was going to shut down Gitmo, balance the budget, pay off the debt, and bring the unemployment rate to zero, just like Mclame. The only real difference between the 2 candidates bullscat was that obozo was going to immediately end the wars.
Obviously he was lying. He continued the Bush foreign policy, and even expanded bombing while attacking new countries. Now we have all of North Africa facing a power vacuum that may be filled with bearded jihadist sociopaths, and even the french are making fun of us. Obozo pretended to be a centrist, otherwise he would have lost his ass. Now that he can not hide what a complete fascist tool he is, or what a blithering idiot he really is, this office is free to ANY republican we nominate. My only hope is that it's not Romney, but if it is, on election night I'll treat myself to a nice steak diner and a bottle of wine, vote (puke) for Romney, have a cigarette and take a long hot shower.
