Pros and Cons of either idiot winning this election

[ez bake]

So, I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I honestly can't come up with a good answer. I think at this point everyone jokes about Romney and Obama being the same, but I literally can't tell which one is more dangerous, so the determining factors sort of fall into their environment a little for me personally.

Part of it has to do with the fact that Obama will be lame-duck pretty much a year into this next election, so we can bet he'll be paying off some favors. But part of me wants him to win so that all the tax-increases he F!@#$ed the American people with will come to fruition on his watch (and people don't get angry with the GOP over "all these new taxes").

I honestly think that if Obama was in his first term, I'd be more inclined to vote for him vs a Lame-duck Romney (I predict even the GOP will be come upset with what Romney has in store for our country).

So, if it were a Lame-Duck Romney vs. a New Obama, would that change your vote?

What if it was a first-term Obama vs. a first-term Romney?


Congress is split as such:

House: 241-R / 191-D (with 3 vacancies)
Senate: 47-R / 53-D (with 2 Independents)

If Congress made the swing to all Republican, would I feel better about having Obama as president than Romney (keeping in mind how much power Romney would have at that point)? I think I might actually.

If Congress made the swing to all Democrat, would I feel better about having Romney as president? I don't know that I feel comfortable with the Dems even having that much control over our law-making.


I'm going to be honest - a real Dem (not a Rhino) pres with a Republican house/senate sounds pretty good right about now.




What say you?






Here's some interesting stuff to think about:

If after watching the last debate you think both candidates are equal idiots then you probably should just leave that part of your ballot blank. And if you live in Oklahoma is isn't going to matter anyway.

Biggest con of Obama re-election is the Supreme court judges that he would get to hand pick...Holder would probably be first.

Who is the oldest justice on the court?
Ginsburg at 79?

Lets' be honest with ourselves.

There are about 10 battleground states that will decide this election and Oklahoma isn't one of them.
You will probably not see Romney set foot in this state because he already has it sewn up.

And our votes don't mean squat because Romney will get all 7 electoral votes from Oklahoma.

It doesn't matter if he gets 50.001% of the vote or 90% of the vote, he gets the same 7 electoral votes.

Lighten up everybody, the presidential election is over for us here in Oklahoma.

That.....

.....and the fact that Obumbalong likes to use "Executive Orders" too much.


And, NEVER take the attitude that there is no reason to vote because it "won't matter."

I'll keep that in mind in case anyone ever says that.

Cons of an Obama win: more wars, more debt, more expansion of the size and power of government.
