When I say this:
IF, and this is a big 'if'... if Romney is elected AND Congress goes all the way to the Tea Baggers
We're ALL fucked.
Everything that's decent and good about this country, well, you can just chuck it out the window, because it's never coming back.
Expect a war against Iran, a complete economic collapse and dogs and cats sleeping together. Yes, I'm predicting a cataclysm of biblical proportions.
If we don't fight back and fight hard
All you'll need to do is sit down, bend over and kiss your sweet ass goodbye.
'Nuff said.

WE MUST.

(1,076 posts)how come we don't see your poetry much anymore? I liked it..... and you are right about fighting the good fight, this is serious business.

(149,629 posts)That was a great compliment, and I thank you...
I don't post it much anymore because a lot of publishers consider posting anything to have published it. And they won't print it.
That's why.
IF I get something published, then I post it, so you can rejoice with me!

my cats and dog already sleep together.
But you're right - and it will be hard to clean it up, if we ever got the chance again.

(42,759 posts)Obama has done a remarkable job in repairing as much damage as he has. Give the GOP another shot at it and the whole world will go the same route as Greece, Portugal, Ireland and others who fell victim to the global economic collapse.

(37,573 posts)For example it says "Bush signed a minimum wage increase".
Yes, he did, but only in the 7th year of his Presidency, after Congress had gone to Democratic control and the minimum wage increase passed by a veto-proof majority, and also after Senate Republicans fillibustered some "small business tax cuts" into the bill.

(18,634 posts)"It will be the end of America if he wins the next election."
The big difference is that the right openly wants to dismantle everything that makes America what it is. They really hate this country while proclaiming to love it. That sounds a lot closer to the end of the world as we know it than Obama's vision of more equality.

(22,308 posts)Plus the long term demographics are in our favor.
We need another 20 years or so before we can start to really turn things around but I think the long term outlook is pretty good (assuming we don't turn on each other and give them an advantage they don't deserve).

I always vote because I totally believe that when you don't vote the only thing you're doing is enabling the other side to win. You might as well vote for the other side.

Longer then that and they could get voted out so by summer 2013 it will be well on its way.
Scary thought.

(4,517 posts)The great upside to a repuke victory is the quick death. The pain and suffering of millions will be remembered and hopefully demolish the ability for the corpofascists and talibornagain to ever rise again.

(17,266 posts)If the nation is in the hands of the teabaggers, you can bet there will be concentration camps for 'liberals'. The fear-based authoritarian and unimaginative mentality of these people lends itself nicely to atrocious behavior. Once the witch-hunts for liberals are running smoothly, their fear will compel them to start projecting force globally.
We'll be lucky if the human race survives.

(146,317 posts)It's that we must regain control of Congress and our state legislatures. 2012 is a critical year. If we fail to accomplish both goals, we simply fail.
The way we accomplish both goals is for everyone here and Democrats across the country to get out the Democratic vote. Nothing is more important in 2012. Nothing.
