I would like to see Romney win just to watch r/politics meltdown in a frenzy of panic and despair.

It would be fun!

Also the retribution. 'we can be obstructionist asshats too, tis not hard'

Republican obstructionism was NOT why Obama cheated on his campaign promises.

He didn't even try to keep em

Yes liberals/democrats were more deluded at the time. I think that four years of "No We Can't" kind of made them have less expectations and be less passionate about the subject.

It wouldn't be JUST about Romney winning, I would like to see Obama in the poplar vote but still see the electoral college go to Romney and have him win. Then maybe people would be sick of this bullshit.

Oh who am I kidding, the only time people get violent is after winning sports games.

Yeah pain and suffering is so fully thoroughly enjoyable to observe. Give me a break.

Normally I'd share your sentinment, but a lot of people have lost touch with reality and it could be time for a reboot. As Louis CK said;

"Those were simpler times I think. I just feel like, we may be going back to that by the way, but ah, in a way good because when I read things like the foundations of capitalism are shattering I'm like maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we're walking around with a donkey with pots clanking on the sides, ya know."

The problem with simpler times is that you can be killed by a tooth infection. Or invaded by a technologically superior foreign power.

I prefer it when they've aged a few months and more of the personality has come out. Forgettable otherwise.

Yeah, I'd love to see Romney win and likely have us enter World War 3 so I can see a bunch of people in a sub-reddit be upset.

I had hope for Obama in 2008, I believed he was going to be the change he promised...however that opinion has changed and I've lost all hope for this country's leadership. It wont matter who wins, neither of them will push for a progressive movement. The only difference is that Romney is socially accepted as a conman, and Obama can do no wrong. At least if Romney wins, people wont be blinded by love, and hopefully that would push for a revolution.

I had hope for Obama in 2008, I believed he was going to be the change he promised...

Can I ask why? Did you do any research on him and see that his short time in senate involved voting in favor of every shitty bush policy we love to rail against? Honestly the only people who really wanted 'hope and change' supported Kucinich or Gravel, those who supported Obama were just swept up in the MSM built hype and wanted to vote for a (white friendly) black guy to be president.

the democrat's platform in 2008 was actually decent. there was rhetoric floating around about restoring civil liberties, ending wars, sensible drug laws, transparency, wall street crackdown, etc. Here's a quick breakdown of how that actually turned out though: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/09/broken-democratic-platform-promises-from-2008.html. The scary thing is they barely even bother with the rhetoric any more.

You're totally right about Kucinich supporters.

To be honest, no I didn't do a whole lot of research. He's an amazing presenter, and the only people calling out his bullshit were religious nutjobs who demanded a birth certificate. I know better than to trust someone based on their words, but now I know not to trust the so called "liberal" hive mind. Being a Democrat is far from "liberal".

I dunno, 2000 and 2004 were blatantly stolen elections, and the ovine masses hardly emitted a single plaintive baah.

Also, your name dude!? Each To His Own, or words to that effect ;)

I want what you want. I would love to see America have such an insane cluster fuck for a president.

You must have missed the eight years before obama

Not likely, they were incredible...

I hear you, bro.

Personally i couldn't give a shit, it doesn't matter who gets in. The game is rigged. The only thing Romney offers is charisma and a decent hair-do.

All I care about is, hey, maybe riots.

Obama's going to win, then the US economy will collapse in 2013 and you will get your riots, big ones. That's only a prediction on my part but i seriously think the writing is on the wall for the current US monetary system.

And David de Rothschild will assume the leading role of christ

Or prince william

Hilariously silly. Hardly anyone in Britain gives a fuck about God.

I'm from UK and can confirm this.

Oh geez, in the end it's really a religious trick!

Didn't the Rothschild camp publicly state Monday that "America is finished"?

Beware the false flag, it is coming.

Got any info on this?

Sure!

"I don't have a clue in hell. You tell me. Anyone who answers that question is either a genius or a fraud. The American economy is still in the grip of a serious crisis; they have an employment problem that is going to get worse. One of the strengths of the United States lay in people's ability to move from one job to another. That has now come to a halt. They can't relocate because they can't sell their home. The United States is finished, at least for the moment. There will be more oversight, but people will always come up with new financial products that are not amenable to oversight. What's happening is that the firefighters keep arriving after the fire."

Sauce.

Protip: the google would have been faster.

I kant zee googles. But thank you for the response.

You mean the same monetary system in use by all of the civilized world?

I can dig it.

I was watching one debate where he mispronounced a womans name twice, after she corrected him. Thats pretty charismatic if you ask me.

Screw the hand puppet crap. War is good business and Romney is a businessman.

Blaming Jews is tiresome and short-sighted. It's the Wealthy Elite (and they're not all Jews) lording over the Majority. The Bushes were not Jewish and look how much power they wield (complete with ties to the Bin Laden family).

it's like watching a meteor burn up on entry into the atmosphere, in extremely slow motion - and instead of meteorites coming down to earth, it's stupid political cliches, campaign lies, and a whole ton of oppression.

you're probably right that Romney would burn out faster. whatever brings this shit down sooner, the better. it's not like their policies are actually going to be different.

Good post, sir.

My coworker kept preaching Romney for the past few months. I told him that's fine because things need to get significantly worse before they get significantly better.

Yeah, agree OP, kinda want watch a train wreck.

noooo

Even as LDS I would like to see Romney lose. Fact is I would like to see Obama lose also. I can't stand either as a Hawaiian or LDS. They have no malama (care) or Christ like charity for people. They are false idols.

Yeah as long as this government is around they're screwed either way, so it'd be pretty funny to see Romney win. It'd also earn all the people who bet on Romney some extra cash.

Edit: Can't forget how much karma I could get by posting a link on how the election was rigged on /r/politics

it would be a civil war. one side saying that romney demonstrably stole the election, the other saying that the darkie is stealing the election like blacks steal everything. they will cash in on all the race baiting thats been done on both sides and use the conflict to impose martial law and utilize all the ammo the DHS has been stockpiling. mark my words.

Some people want to watch the world burn...and that's us.

thats what they want us to do

I feel you. For this reason, I found myself supporting Herman Cain early on...

Both Candidates are pro-police state, Romney maybe more so. I think the argument that the left is sleeping while Obama is in office has kind of been discredited by Occupy.

I felt this way for a while. Oh my, the troll. But, I realized that I'd prefer Obama because I want to see him in office if SHTF in the next 4 years. Just so all these brainwashed people will have no excuses.

Noam Chomsky and other prominent activists have signed a pledge "No More Stolen Elections".

The idea is to encourage non-violent protest when votes are tampered with (as we all know they are).

I fear if enough people actually do it, Washington will use it as an excuse to clamp down and declare a nationwide state of emergency. Just my 2 cents.

It would disproove the illuminate bloodline theory, so I guess that would have been a good thing. As of now Obama is one EV away from the win though.

Maybe Obama being elected again is actually what the country needs so that the fucking sheep will finally open their eyes when he starts pulling back on everything he has said and putting in place his iron fist.

If you look at the case of Mexico, when the people felt that the election had been stolen and they massed in the streets, they were basically ignored by the MSM and beaten by the police until they left, as I understand it...

You might still get to see that with an Obama win.

Well.. The way I got it figured there are at least two major factions in the US government. One represents the old money of europe and the their ancient dynastic interests. This faction is the democrats. The other faction is an amalgam of modern and western noblesse and various rich people and these are represented by the republicans.

These two factions work together on some projects and work against each other on others. Mostly they are all aligned around the idea that they are the privileged and rich. So they don't want to undermine their status in that way as a group even though they are different factions.

However they each have their own particular sources of revenue and interest and that is what they get us to fight for. For instance the Bush family has a lot of connections in Kuwait and Iraq.

If you ever read about ancient roman politics you would see the correlation. The old romans were the same way. The rich were divided there too but they still worked together to maintain their class against the plebs. When that changed and the "populares" style "democratic" party if you will emerged is when the civil wars really got under way in earnest and their republic was torn to pieces.

Yeah I kinda wanted to see what would happen when people started protesting about all the rigged voting machines and the like, although who's to say the far right won't have a similar reaction now that Obama has won? They think he's a socialist/anti-Christ/fascist and will destroy the country. Maybe they'll do something crazy?

My feeling is that the population is being manipulated to deliberately polarize it so people will fight over wedge issues that have no effect on corporate interests. It would be easy to polarize it further via some false flag attacks.

I considered voting for him. Knowing that, if elected, Romeny would make things bad and forming the conclusion that the worse it gets, the more people will rise up.

[deleted]

I knew it wouldn't happen though. Imo Dr. Paul was the only Republican that stood a chance against Obama and they shut him down. They chose someone they knew wouldn't win because those pulling the strings wanted Obama.

So basically you want to outsource the revolution to republicans?

I am not with you. I still have hope that this country can be turned around if you yell loud enough and often enough. I for one have no desire to see SHTF even if I am likely better prepared for it than the average joe.

Noone can hear our voices over the riot police, Patriot Act, and NDAA, and even if you manage to get through the noise, your voice means nothing.

Also the retribution. 'we can be obstructionist asshats too, tis not hard'

Yeah pain and suffering is so fully thoroughly enjoyable to observe. Give me a break.
