I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

no

if romney does try to make hay out of this i hope obama says something like "we're all sad one ambassador died and everything but at least two skyscrapers didn't get hit by airplanes or a wing of the pentagon didn't go up in flames"

this really isn't gonna be a thing, it's only a scandal if you watch sean hannity

fort hood was supposed to be the end of Obama's presidency according to Fox

Freeman might have trouble overcoming the "boinking his step-granddaughter" hurdle

That's been pretty much debunked at this point. Rumors never fully die, though.

checking the gallup polls will not make you feel better

barry better show up tonight

i already knew that i shared this country with a lot of idiots, but apparently they are very easily impressionable idiots.

I don't even know what I'll do if Romney wins. I'm not a "I'm moving to Canada!" type of person because it's not very realistic, but I am going to be so disheartened and hopeless.

Last time around I agreed with a friend that we'd take up smoking if McCain won. So you could do that!

I have an intense friend who I really do worry about, should Romney win. I can totally see him snapping.

We're a nation of disheartened and hopeless people--come on down! (I mean up.)

where are all the "debates have no effect on elections" dudes now

way to piss away a lead, mr president

yo i'm here and still kinda confused about debates having an effect on the election

maybe bcuz an alleged 'inspirational' president has never seemed utterly indifferent to engaging his opponent before.

i never said (i dont think) that debates have no effect on elections, but i did say i didnt think that one would, whoops

anyway hella nervous for tonight

I heard an "undecided Ohio voter" on NPR this morning and he was exactly as idiotic as I would expect an undecided voter to be. Here was his statement, summarized but not paraphrased: "Obama is really good with programs for the poor and taking care of people, but not really good with stuff about abortion and birth control. Those are religious questions. Romney is just the opposite. So I'd give Obama an A+ on programs for the poor, but an F- on limiting abortion, and the reverse for Romney. I'm just not sure who I'm voting for."

These morons deserve everything they get if Romney wins. May their doom be on their heads.

man that last debate was so weird

that person actually seems pretty informed and rational as far as undecided voters go!

yeah, i'd agree w/ him that obama gets an F- on limiting abortion. i mean, a solid grade on not limiting abortions, but on limiting abortions he's been pretty mediocre

There's no such thing as an F-. He has totally been discredited.

i fucking hate undecided voters, how can you possibly be undecided

That snl short was in fact a documentary.

some dark part of me wants romney to win. i'd like to be alive for america's inevitable caligua phase.

you already were

i can only hope that right obama is pacing around an dusty warehouse punching walls and swallowing beef curtain jerky whole, psyching himself up

great, now Romney's Caligula. Can't wait to see where you guys head with this in 2 weeks.

libya thing worries me, biden looked v unprepared, now theyve got clinton taking responsibility

It's over.

who won?

nah if that woulda been a thing it woulda been a thing by now

xp

The Libya thing...I'm not bothered that it took 3 weeks to get the story out to the public correctly. I am bothered that there was an intelligence breakdown that allowed it in the first place. Weird how the media seems to be focusing on the former.

wasn't the Libyan envoy gay? why wd Repugs give a fuck then?

My mother is undecided I have no idea why the fuck why though

romney's not caligula, but in my imagination he'd set the stage for a 200-year reign of intricately incestuous ruling families and their increasingly debased kin. but after g w b, i'm thinking lag~~n might be right.

i don't think it'll be the end of the world if romney wins. america is pretty resilient and 4 years is not that long a time and romney will not get the chance to do too much dmg i don't think (and that's even assuming he wants to and doesn't just turn out to be technocratic moderate)

Just appoint a couple of judges to the Supreme Court and other federal appeals courts. No big deal

also, liberals can pretend to care about civil liberties & extrajudicial executions again.

why people care so damn much about abortion BAFFLES THE SHIT OUT OF ME

xxxxpost

At this point, I'm honestly more interested in smart people saying reassuring things to convince me that things won't go to absolute hell if Romney does win.

it won't be the end of the world != it's no big deal

Just appoint a couple of judges to the Supreme Court and other federal appeals courts. No big deal

Yeah, this is the scariest prospect, imo.

also, liberals can pretend to care about civil liberties & extrajudicial executions again.

this is not nothing!

then go back to not pretending. HILLARY 2016

i don't see any daylight between romney + obama on foreign affairs + war on terror except re tone. obama is more subtle, serious, discursive, romney would be more aggressive, threatening, both would probably deploy same # of drones, both would probably execute iranian strategy in same way (i think, this one i'm not sure of)

i don't mean discursive

but like analytic maybe

if Mitt wins only death will get a lib to leave the Supremes.

Too bad for Romney the death squads will be dismantled when he presumes office.
