Do the American people understand the danger that lies ahead?

They may think that they are immune from any political repercussions but they are not.

If Romney and Ryan are elected and they are able to pass their agenda, their taxcuts for the wealthy and their spending on the military will create a fiscal crisis. There will be a lot of cuts in programs that people depend on - Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, ie - and a lot of people will suffer.

But when people get hungry, they will find something to eat. To paraphrase Bob Dylan, a man's got a knive..he's gotta cut something. Certain cuts of certain programs could affect a lot of people in a lot of negative ways.

The danger lights are flashing. The sirens are screaming. Do the people see them? Do they hear it? Or are they deaf to the plea for reason and common sense?

1. Nope. You would have thought they would have learned...

in 1929. But there are always a certain number of people who are authoritarian and will always vote against their own interests.

2. The difference between Obama and Romney is the difference between recovery and depression

As Samuel L. Jackson said, "Wake the fuck up!"

3. As long as the rich are okay .. then everything is fine

Willard says so

4. no they aren't.

except for those that follow this political stuff day in day out, very few Americans realize that this election holds

the minimum wage, social security, medicare, pell grants, the 40 hour work week and numerous other taken

for granted perks we now enjoy at peril.

I don't understand how those people without healthcare insurance can be against having it, that one totally

rattles me. I don't understand how people that don't have a retirement plan of any type don't want the rest

of us to have one. I don't understand how those that don't make enough in gross wages to not have to depend

on food stamps don't want others to have living wages. There are many other "I don't understands" but the one

I wonder the most is, "WHY DON'T THEY WANT IT FOR THEMSELVES?"

Best I can figure, it's the black man in the white house thing. What a shame.

5. God, Guns, Gays

"Well, Obama is trying to help us common folk. BUT HE SUPPORTS DEM QUAERS! AND IS A MUZ-LAM!"

6. The military will put them down, hard.

And if they don't, the drones will.

7. But the military and their families will be looking for food also.

The only thing the corporate thugs want military spending for is weapons systems...not pay or healthcare. People can't eat weapons.
