All we have now is the President's veto. Even the Supreme Court is controlled by the GOP.

[AlinPA]

Look out for some tough stuff from the GOP: Eliminating existing Civil Rights laws and Voting Rights laws, Child labor laws, eliminating any minimum wage, killing food stamps, killing Medicare, killing Social Security, eliminating science in schools and replacing it with Bible study.....once they kill the filibuster and voting rights laws it will be all downhill except for the veto.

1. If you have any Women in your family of child bearing age they are at risk of death

If you have any Gay friends or family, they are at risk of complete annihilation.

President can only do so much, these are terrorists, they HATE you for electing and reelecting Obama

They HATE you for wanting to protect Women from illegal abortions, who do these god damn Women think they are wanting to control their own bodies.

2. It's all headed down hill, I still think most Americans are clueless as to what is going on.

Far too many Americans think the country will just chug along, it won't. Many don't want to hear it, but this election has initiated a seismic shift in the future of the US. People should take a good look at Kansas, for example, that is where the US is headed. I seriously wonder if the democrats can even pull off a presidential win in 2016 after this abysmal display. If I had the resources, I would be the fuck out of here.

4. What scares me the most is the real possibility of the GOP repealing the Voting Rights Act of 1965

with the GOP controlled Supreme Court supporting them. The veto is all we have now to stop the crazies.

5. Some would say it's being panicky, but I think it's a real possibility. And if 2016 is a

republican win, there is little to stop them from taking this country right to the bottom and quickly. Some of my friends are starting to think the US is not worth it. Who wants to hang around while the Titanic sinks. The really worrying concern is, many Americans just love what is happening as their rights are trashed.

3. He won't use it.

That wouldn't be gentlemanly or 'in the spirit of compromise'. Think Woodrow Wilson.

We. Are. Truly. Fucked.

6. Possibly true, just believing all that's needed is more compromise. Well F compromise, I'm fed up

with it and look at where we are. The GOP IMO sees compromise as a form of weakness to be exploited, but many in the democratic TPTB still don't get it.
