[Heretic]

A University of Colorado analysis has correctly predicted the winner of the presidential race. University of Colorado study says Romney to win 2012 election.

I say no matter who wins we are still in deep doo doo. With neither party fixing crap.

I hope so, and you're probably right.

If he wins, he wins. And we Americans deserve whatever he brings us.

More of the same...

[CobGobbler]

Exactly my point.

In 2000 we elected a certifiable idiot. We got 8 years of idiotic policies that ran this country into the ground.

In 2008, we elected a smart guy without experience. We've had 3+ years of not much to write home about.

In 2012, we'll get more of the same.

[flip]

I think Romney will win too. Last time, Obama was saying ALL the right things, this time, not so much.

[woodchip]

Exactly my point.


In 2012, we'll get more of the same.

I suspect we won't have trillion's of dollars added to the deficit for starters. I also predict if Romney is elected we will see a huge turn around in how business spends it's profits and starts hiring people. Of course conservative will have to keep control of the house and gain control of the Senate and send the grotesque little man Reid into the shadows like the cockroach he is.
I also predict a number of insider tell all books showing how inept Obama really was.

I suspect early November is going to be a hoot!

Yeah since Michelle seems to think Nov 2 is the day we vote

funny, this is thse CBO take on matters:
The potential damage from ongoing gridlock was brought into focus Wednesday when the Congressional Budget Office offered up its latest analysis on the looming fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts set to hit at year's end unless Congress and the White House change course. In its latest report, the CBO estimates that current policies, if left intact, would slam the brakes on growth -- reversing the weak pace into a contraction at an annual rate of about a half a percentage point.

“If you compare it to previous recessions, this one that CBO is talking about next year is worse than the one in 2001 or the one in 1991,” said Dave Malpass, former deputy assistant treasury secretary in the Reagan administration. “It’s more than a double dip. It’s a second big recession.”

Buried in its analysis, CBO researchers also marked down their assumptions for the economy’s “potential” growth rate in the next three years. The change is in line with an ongoing discussion among economists -- including recent musing by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on Capitol Hill -- that the economy may be “stuck in the mud,” thanks to a variety of long-term forces that go well beyond fiscal or monetary policies.

Those structural changes in the economy, which have been underway for years, include the aging of the U.S. population, a decline in the growth of productivity and the ongoing hangover from the housing bust, among others. Those forces will persist no matter who is elected in November.

so, if we can't go forward without disaster on tax hikes and spending cuts, how are those Trillions in debt reduction you mention going to happen? And, if these bozos lead us all off a financial cliff, and most of you all have ZERO disposable income to spend, why the hell are businesses going to expand?

No we will still see that. Woodchip, your party adds to the deficit just the same. Reagan inflated it, Bush 1 tried not to do and got booted out of office, and W blew the deficit way up. Believe what you want, but it will be precisely the same as before. Bush was supposed to be a deficit hawk, remember?

[flip]

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm thinking eveything is credit based and until Bernanke makes a move, nothing is going to happen. From what I've read 2014 is the year the banks will start loaning again and then the trick will be to reign in the risk of rampant inflation.

Well, you're definitely going to get more of the same. Little Ryan even cheer led for Bush's fake war, which, added along side the Bush tax cuts and a bunch of Republicans that have demanded that those same said tax cuts be continued ad infinitum, have given us the mother of all fiscal cliffs that not even Romney is going to be able to fix. I'll even bet he'll be the one that gives us the final push off that proverbial cliff.

Literate does not equal smart. So he can read a teleprompter. And?

It's interesting that his school records are sealed and protected as if they're part of the Manhattan project. He doesn't seem very proud of his accomplishments there- otherwise they would be plastered in a plethora of newspaper articles and on all mainstream media outlets 24/7. His ego would demand no less.

[Tunnelcat]

Yeah, two can play that game. What's Romney hiding that's so bad? We already know that he tithes 10% to the Mormon Church, so what. What about the rest?

...and make it through Harvard Law and Columbia. His predecessor got turned down when applying to the U of Texas law school, hardly first tier.

do you ever step back and read this crap? Seriously, in the words above, you have assumed that he is not proud of his academic record, assumed anyone but a handful care(what they really want to do is associate undergrad courses with 'radical' professors and smear him), Further, you trot out your deep personal knowledge of another man's character and assume his ego demands something. Really, get off the hate and start thinking about the fact that this is your duly elected President, and might very well be for the next 4 years as well. Anything less would suggest you would do us all a service by packing up and leaving, as you aren't coming forth with anything close to constructive discourse.

And he went to Yale.

funny how we do not see Obama's transcripts from, well...anywhere. Yet we do have Bush's Yale transcript:

[callmeslick]

he is your duly elected President, may still be until 2016, Woody........get over it.

[woodchip]

Why? What is he so not proud of that he doesn't want them shown?

same could be said about Romneys tax statements. I say who gives a ★■◆●, there's an election coming vote him out

[Ferno]

first, birth certificate. now this. ridiculous.

[callmeslick]

ridiculous is what you get when one side has NO plan that would move the nation any direction but backward.

[woodchip]

I agree...and now we need to vote the no plan Obama administration out of office.

[Ferno]

ridiculous is what you get when one side has NO plan that would move the nation any direction but backward.

yup. 1930's was a long time ago.

[Spidey]

When you are going in the wrong direction, backwards might be a valid option.

[callmeslick]

Spidey, you waited for a couple of weeks to post this observation?

[Spidey]

Hey, don’t look at me…Ferno bumped this thread…
