Why the polls don't matter, Romney will be the next President

I'm impressed !

as far as 'other discussions' - here's something immigration related, with personal attribute to Gary:

I note he 'got that done' prior to you joining VJ, fwiw.

FWIW, I don't care how long anyone's been on VJ. There are people here who have only been here a year that I see give better advice than people who have been here five. It really makes no difference to me.

I also do not doubt that Gary has helped many, many people through the immigration process. It's unfortunate that he usually pairs that advice with some random story or fact about his perfect wife. I feel like I know more about Alla than about anyone else on this board.

Just an observation - you don't have to agree. I don't care if you don't.

You are wrong on point 2. Older voters were more likely anti-Obama in 2008. A good number of them are dead. Young voters are more likely for Obama. Many of them were too young to vote in 2008. Will it be enough? Who knows!

And then there are people like me who were pro-Obama in 2008 and now are anti-Obama.

[JohnR! 5,495]

But are you pro-Romney?

It would be hypocritical to be anti-Obama and pro-Romney at the same time. Romney has all the characteristics people dislike in Obama.

[mawilson 2,133]

Not particularly. The only issue I care about is the debt, and I doubt Romney's ability to fix it.

Romney is American.

According to him, he is English, married to a Welsh.

At least both are British subjects. America's come full circle!

Fact of the matter is that he won't even try. He'll reduce revenues further from their already historic low levels and then work to restore all the spending that is to be cut under current law. He's already calling for the looming spending cuts to be delayed at least one year. He wants to keep spending. Heck, perhaps he'll go to war with Iran - which he seems hell-bound to do - and you can kiss any hope of deficit and debt reduction good bye.

Bottom line, if Mitt wins and the GOP holds the House and maybe even grabs the Senate, you will hear as you have last time around that "Deficits Don't Matter".

Neither will Obama.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

You'd have a better chance getting it in order with Obama if for no other reason that Obama would no longer worry about re-election.

Democratic Presidents don't create their legacies by unsexy budget policies. If Obama is re-elected (looks unlikely at this point but campaign trajectories do change) he will go left-left. His base will squeal with delight.

Fixing the budget is actually Congress's job. The President can, and usually does, submit a budget, but it's not his job to balance the budget. So I agree, no President is going to balance the budget. That would be weird.

You're a known Alynskite. Why should anyone believe you?
