I am sceptical about this idea of letting our country sink into more socialism so that we can later rescue it. It sounds like the idea of letting the other team score a few easy touchdowns so our team will become motivated to win the game in the second half. Sounds risky!
Honestly at the rate this country is going, we're going to need 4 years of a Democrat-lead government. If they can remotely stabilize it like Bill Clinton & GOP-led Congress did (Though Bill was just a fuck-up in every other sense of the word.) I think we'll survive 4 years of Obama. The United States has always naturally been a Republican country, it's the Wars that usually cause us to go to the Democrats because they spew anti-war sentiment which is a natural American citizen position. Hell it's one of the reasons Ron Paul won me over, I couldn't believe a Republican was Anti-War and Anti-Intervention. It was like Jesus Christ appeared before me and said, "See child... I am real."
