Romney is worse than Bush. GW was merely a power hungry, amoral, opportunistic sonofabitch riding on the rep of his daddy. Romney quite probably believes the bs he is spouting. Under a Romney administration, the US will once again be undisputed biggest threat to world peace and security ... And don't forget, you folks who are familiar with how the system works down there, he will have two years with the benefit of a GOP dominated Congress.
If there is a bright side, a Romney win will benefit Canada (I know, that really doesn't turn anyone's crank over on that side of the pond
) ... Keystone pipeline will win quick approval, which means that bitumen from the Athabasca tar sands will be flowing to US ports and refineries. One only has to take a quick glance at the Middle East to understand why the yanks prefer to buy our oil
And there will be strong US support for Canadian claims in the Arctic.
And it is important to see what kind of neo-fascist, gun toting, born again, nigger hating (but only in private
), gay basher he chooses as his running mate. But, he could fool us all on that one and pick someone like Con Rice. Of course, it wouldn't matter all that much, the VP is still a cipher. John Nance Garner, FDR's VP, once observed that the job wasn't worth "a bucket of warm p(ee)" ... thing's ain't changed much.
