To my knowledge, those loutish remarks made during primary tours were never viewed in the proper light and he, inherently lacking all but superficial social skills, will be unable to avoid other such trite and insensitive gaffs. Hopefully people will then take notice and dislike the idea of a boorish, oblivious, thoughtless president (even though it is unfortunate that at present many don't already seem to correlate lying and ruthlessness with ignoble character). Character means everything; not only what gets done (or proposed), but how.<br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-41692405451776990112012-06-03T16:16:05.538-07:002012-06-03T16:16:05.538-07:00Dr. S: Don't give up yet; I am speculating, bu...Dr. S: Don't give up yet; I am speculating, but voters (about 58% of US citizens in 2008)may decide they are more comfortable with "the devil they know" (Mr. Obama) vs the devil they don't (Mr. Romney). <br /><br />What prompts my pessimism is that our candidate choices are not optimal. This reality generates apathy; then less people vote, thus, the "winner" does not truly represent the majority. A deplorable state of affairs in a country that calls itself a democracy.<br /><br />Regarding the possible striking down of the the Affordable care act:such a move would create an administrative nightmare not to mention "voters" being unhappy when they can no longer carry adult children on their insurance or get insurance because of a pre-existing disease. <br /><br />DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-80907311600864557872012-06-03T13:15:23.051-07:002012-06-03T13:15:23.051-07:00Well, Frankie, if your prediction comes to pass it...Well, Frankie, if your prediction comes to pass it'll mean that our democracy is as brain dead as you are.

(based on his quotes you recently posted, the fact that Repubs will have no better option to follow his moderate lead, his flippant comments about fox watchers as being "true believers", and his campaigns comments about etch-a-sketching; he can either become S t alin Jr. or go the other way and be more moderate)<br /><br />2.) O wins and, since there's no point in campaigning against him any longer and the healthcare law that was stuffed down the countries throat will have been ruled unconstitutional, the Repubs become more open to compromise and they get some stuff done.......unless the "I'll have more flexibility after the election quote" was nefarious, then all bets are off.<br /><br />PT<br /><br />p.s. thanks for the BB link.
