Romney vs. BO - Saddo's kids race mongering thread

[Youngblood]

I don't think another four years of Obama as president is going to do most of us any good at all...which is exactly how would feel if Romney had been elected. Two good things did come out of the election:
First, I have been wanting to buy a new firearm for some time now but haven't got around to it. Now I'm motivated, before the newly re-elected regime bans them. Which we'll ignore in Montana anyway.
Second, Denny Rehberg lost to Jon Tester in the Senatorial race here in Montana. He had these two ads "They're not twins but they might as well be!" (referring to Tester and Obama) that just ground my gears.

You think you are going to lose your right to own guns? I could see a possible ban on powerful automatic assault weapons coming, but not any time soon.

I'm curious what you consider a "powerful automatic assault weapon"? Regardless, the GOP gained in the house. He can do some things by executive order to impede 2nd amendment rights but the Brady ban isn't coming back.

honestly? It was a tactical response. I don't give a shit about guns. It's all good.

Wonderful. More "tug-of-war" legislating.

I know. Considering I normally think the feds do too much, I am generally ok w/gridlock. Some buddies of mine that are political junkies we're discussing the "fiscal cliff". I felt that due to losses in the Senate even more so than Romney losing show a complete loss of the Tea Party momentum. I don't see them willing to risk the backlash of no compromise and felt they would blink first in a game of brinkmanship with the POTUS. My buddy that is a big time Dem disagreed. He doesn't think Obama has the balls to really dig in and force major concessions from the GOP. He believes a compromise happens but that the Dems give up the lion share of the issues.

Either way the country loses. I've never been fond of this gridlock you mention. Ideally, if you disagree on an issue because you truly disagree, partisanship be damned... then fine. But when party lines and loyalty are the deciding factors, it truly muddles things up. Any direction is better than no direction, IMO. It happens here (P.R.) too. We have mostly a two major party political system. When the governor from one party wins, but the other party gets a majority in the Senate and/or House, it's a fucking nightmare.

The worst thing that can happen is a watered down compromise that simply kicks the can down the road. Unless the GOP is willing to get behind big DoD cuts, increasing top marginal rates, the Dems are willing to make serious entitlement reforms and both can agree on REAL tax reform then we will get some bullshit that both parties believe they can sell to their base as a victory. I am skeptical that there are enough true leaders to make the best decision not the best political move. That being said, I'll take gridlock.

By the way, what happened w/PR statehood?

I'm starting to see the appeal of this guy. Took a long time, but I think I'm finally getting it.

Our elections, which occured the same day as in the States, included a referendum on status. The statehood status won convincingly, a major victory for statehooders here on the island. We now have to see how the new elected officials plan to proceed with these results, and of course the whole thing needs to be presented to the U.S. I briefly saw some coverage on Yahoo about it today.
