A Romney victory could be the end of the American government...


I was thinking last night:

If Romney wins, he wouldn't be able to repeal Obamacare (or any other law) without going through congress. It would be illegal for him to do it by executive order, but would the tea bagger infused congress impeach him? Of course not. It would be like making him a dictator without any fear of repercussions.

Dictator Romney... scary.

If Romney wins and we lose the house and senate, we can kiss our democracy goodbye. Its truly a terrifying thought. What would happen 2 years later during the next election? Would we have people in the streets? Would our newly militarized police force start shooting protestors? And what would foreign countries think with an Oligarchy in control of the world's largest military? God help us.

But he's not going to win. We will prevail!!!!
