We are considering Expatriating

Well, for one, we went from a balanced budget to where we are today- "the edge of a fiscal cliff"

Well, the democrats haven't stopped pushing us further and further towards that edge either.

No, I don't think a democratic president would have started a war on terror. Documents that became public last year showed memos between Cheney and Bush acknowledging that they knew that there were no "weapons of mass destruction" to be found but that they continued the charade as an excuse to start the war.

I think they would have. Even though they didn't have the intel, I don't doubt they wouldn't have done SOMETHING. although I think the whole "war on terror" is a sham and we shouldn't even be over there, so don't think I'm trying to defend it AT ALL.

Take a look at the advisors Romney has hired, they are the SAME advisors Bush had during his administration.

Not to mention his EXTREMELY homophobic VP....

So yes, 8 years DOES make a difference. Fiscally we have been set back decades (ie. the same economic woes we lived through at the end of the Regan era), and yesterday the Family Research Councel was proud to announce that they have written the new GOP plank which seeks a constitunal ammendment that would invalidate my marriage and the marriage of every other same sex couple if it were to pass, which it easily could do if we end up with a Repugnican President and Repugnicans holding both houses.

I didn't mean it like that. I mean't in the long run it doesn't make a huge difference. No group ever get's everything it wants in 4 years, let alone 8 (they have to earn those next 4). I just don't see those draconian reverse equality laws getting through. Maybe I am in denial. Who knows.

I'm 41 years old and married to a man who's position in the Department of Defense is directly responsible for White House security. I am very aware of the political climate in our country and what it could mean if the GOP wins POTUS.

Really I think we're screwed either way. Just two faces of a bad coin. The politics in this country are very akin to cyanide.
