The word I'll hopefully be using to describe my feelings at the time will be 'relieved'.

While it may achieve the same end, one might just hold up in court... the other, we'll soon see.

Mitt has a record of advancing social issues when it's politically expedient. Like all politicians do. What are his stance on those issues at the moment? That's what you need to ask. And be quick about it, because it changes daily, depending on whom he's speaking to.
He's a world class "flip-flopper".

Oh come on. Obama's positions evolve and yet Romney's a flip-flopper. You can't win any converts with such obvious double standards. If you liberals want to copy strategies from Karl Rove's playbook, at least do it correctly - or you'll end up with an unworkable mess every time (like Obama's health care plan).

Oh, and BTW. If he does win, he will be inheriting a country in better, albeit slighty, shape than that horrendous mess that incompetent Republican left Obama. (And, I'm sure, deep down inside, you know that as well.)

I honestly did not see the (assuming propoganda) video. What kind of time do you think I have on my hands?
He'll be inheriting an unprecedented deficit, the level of damage to this country which it will cause, is as of yet to be seen... but we can guess. Obama's legacy won't be a good one.

I am kind of partial now to Cher's characterization which I posted in another thread describing Romney as a puppet of his ‘racist homophobic women hating tea bagger masters‘. (At least she'll say what she thinks).

You seem to have tons of time on your hands to waste---banging your head against our wall. Do you even have a job?
I work at night, and sometimes suffer from insomnia, sleeping only a few hours a day, if at all.
What's your excuse?

Do you think it will be as horrendous as GWs?

My day job could sort of be described as overseeing what I've built up over the past 20 years or so which keeps me busy but affords me some flexibility. Most of my passionate endeavors these days are related to family, artistic pursuits, loud music, heavy drinking, and revving my Harley to annoy the liberal neighbors.

Seems like a fairly apt description of the Mittster.

Grady, is that you?
Uh huh. Just as I thought.
You do nothing.
My neighbor is just like that. "The engine of the economy.", he calls himself.
He has a boat, that only sees water when it rains.....or he pisses himself in it. He sit's in the boat, with a cooler full of beer and a fishing pole, getting drunk and casting into the street. Twice, I've had to help his wife get his drunken ass into the house. Which isn't easy, 'cuz fat ass must weigh 350lbs now.
Must be all of that hard work........

That some funny chit right there. I was half joking though. I do commute into the city about 4 times per week and put in pretty much an 8-5 day.
