Business Title: 40 Points That Prove This is the Most Important Election Since 1980 What an exciting time it is in America. We are at a turning point in our history where we desperately need a change in direction. Fortunately, we are starting to get. In 2010, the Tea Party was responsible for electing 60 new GOP Congressmen, giving us the most conservative House since before the Great Depression. In addition, the GOP gained 680 seats in State Legislatures across the country, giving the GOP the largest number of State Legislative seats since 1928. This year, we have the clearest Presidential election since 1980, with the Marxist-influenced, black liberation theology-inspired President pitted against a lifelong successful business man. Unfortunately, there are still too many stubborn people on the "right" who are in denial over the progress that has been made and the stark choice that we face this year. So, I decided to give them a hand by posting 40 points that prove that this is most important Presidential election since 1980: Philosophy, Character, Experience, and Leadership 1.) Obama's mentor (Frank Marshall David) was an avowed communist. Romney's mentor was his father, who was CEO of American Motors, Governor of Michigan, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. 2.) According to Obama, his social group in college included Marxist professors and "structural feminists". Romney went to Brigham Young University where there were few Marxists or "structural feminists". 3.) Obama was an admitted dope smoking stoner in college. Romney doesn't drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs. 4.) Obama sat in a black liberation theology church for 20 years listening to the preacher bash whitey and damn America. Romney belongs to the conservative LDS Church, which generally turns out patriotic, successful, family-oriented, salt-of-the-earth Americans. 5.) Prior to becoming President, Obama never held an executive leadership position in any organization. Romney was a successful entrepreneur, saved the 2002 Olympics, and was a successful governor. 6.) Obama has been unwilling and/or unable to work with House and Senate members from the opposition party. As a result, the government is largely on auto pilot, without a budget for over 3 years, and running up a massive debt in record time.. Romney succeeded as governor, eliminating a $1.5 billion budget deficit through spending cuts, in a state where the 85% of the Legislature was in the hands of the opposition. Energy 7.) Obama wants to shut down the coal industry and has already taken steps to do so. Romney would amend the Clean Air Act to exclude carbon dioxide from the EPA's purview. 8.) Obama wants to shut oil drilling offshore. Romney would streamline the permit process for offshore drilling. 9.) Obama wants to shut down oil drilling on federal lands. Romney would streamline the permit process for drilling on federal lands. 10.) Obama wants to shut down the Keystone pipeline and let China have Canada's oil. Romney would allow the pipeline to be built, so we can buy Canadian oil. 11.) Obama wants to stop fracking, which could provide America with virtually endless supplies of energy. Romney would prevent overregulation of shale gas development and extraction. Business 12.) Obama has a fundamental disdain for business and an absolute contempt for business people, especially small business owners, which Marx called the petty bourgeoisie. Romney was a successful entrepreneur, whose business was to provide funds and advice to struggling businesses. 13.) Obama wants to waste taxpayer's money on unworkable "green" energy boondoggles like Solyndra. Romney would eliminate them. 14.) Obama's record of picking companies to invest in has been nearly a 100% failure. Romney record providing private equity to companies had an 85% success rate. 15.) Obama bailed out General Motors. Romney would have allowed the Chapter 11 process to work. 16.) Obama stole Chrysler from its bond holders and turned the company over to a foreign company (Fiat). Romney would have allowed the Chapter 11 process to work. 17.) Obama's Labor Relations Board wanted to prevent Boeing from opening its new $1 billion manufacturing facility in South Carolina (a right-to-work state). Romney would amend the National Labor Relations Act (NRLA) to explicitly protect the right of business owners to allocate their capital as they see fit. 18.) Obama supports “Card Check” legislation that would have stripped workers of the right to vote by secret ballot on whether to unionize. Romney would amend the NLRA to guarantee the secret ballot in every union certification election. 19.) Under Obama the Environmental Protection agency has issued endless new regulations touching on countless forms of economic activity—regulations that drive up costs, hinder investment, and destroy jobs. Romney would ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process. He would also require that Congress approve new regulations. 20.) Obama signed one of the most onerous and hard to understand pieces of financial regulations the world has ever seen (Dodd-Frank). Romney would repeal it and replace it with something easier to understand and more effective. Taxes 21.) Obama wants to raise tax rates on people earning a lousy $200k a year. Romney would cut tax rates by 20% across the board. 22.) Obama doesn't have any plans to reform the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is increasingly harming middle-class families. Romney would eliminate the AMT. 23.) Obama wants to increase the death tax. Romney would eliminate the death tax. 24.) Obama wants to raise taxes on capital gains and dividends. Romney would eliminate taxes and capital gains and dividends for people making less than $200,000 a year. 25.) Obama wants to tax American companies on profit's they make overseas. Romney would switch us to a territorial tax system, which is what most developed countries have. Spending, Entitlements and Debt 26.) Obama doesn't have any plan to reform the balooning cost of entitlements. Romney would block grant Medicaid to the states; reform Medicare as a premium support system so seniors can buy their own insurance in a competitive market; and slowly raise the Social Security retirement age. 27.) Obama doesn't have any plan to ever balance the budget. Romney would lower current federal spending from the current 24.3% of GDP to the historical post- WWII average of between 18% and 20%. 28.) Obama wants to continue funding Amtrak, and in fact he wants to spend even more money on a 10 high speed rail lines in parts of the U.S. Romney would privatize Amtrak. 29.) Obama has dramatically increased the pay of federal bureaucrats. Romney would reform federal compensation programs to be inline with the private sector. Healthcare 30.) Obama's unworkable Obamacare program will force providers out of the market, cause people to lose their employer paid insurance, and result in a complete government take over of healthcare financing in the U.S. Romney would appeal Obamacare and move to a system of more individual responsibility and choice, with health savings accounts -- a system with proven success in Singapore. 31.) Obama is in bed with the trial lawyers, who provide the Democrats with substantial campaign contributions. Romney would reform our Tort system, including capping non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits Housing 32.) Obama supports the government holding the paper on all home mortgages through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Romney supports the Ryan budget which would wind down and eliminate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Immigration 34.) Obama passed the Dream Act by executive fiat. Romney would make substantial changes to the immigration system by: building the border fence; putting more guards on the border; implementing a mandatory employment verification system; and opposing driver's licenses and in-state tuition for illegal immigrants. Trade 35.) Obama has stalled all progress on new trade agreements, while our competitors in Europe, China, and India have signed dozens of new agreements. Romney would aggressively pursue new trading partners, including completed the negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Romney would also designate China a currency manipulator and impose countervailing duties on imports from China. National Defense 36.) Obama came into office with a military in serious need of modernization. The average age of our tanker aircraft is 47 years. Our strategic bombers are an average of 34 years old. We have fewer ships in our Navy than any time since 1916. Obama continues to cut funding from the military. Romney will reverse Obama's defense cuts and return to the budget baseline established by Secretary Robert Gates in 2010 Values 37.) Obama wants the federal government to force everyone to recognize gay marriage. Romney opposes this. 38.) Obama wants to force organizations run by religious institutions to provide birth control and abortion services to their employees even if they are against their religious convictions. Romney opposes this. 39.) Obama and his Attorney General believe that only white people are capable of being racist, so they refuse to prosecute racially motivated crimes by the New Black Panthers and others. Romney knows that people of all races can be racists. 40.) Obama supports using taxpayer's money to fund abortions. Romney would end federal funding to organizations like Planned Parenthood, who perform abortions.

Looking back, I think I'd be hard pressed to say what would have been different if any election had gone differently. Ergo, the above title isn't saying a whole heck of a lot.
How old are you? Did you live through President Peanut Brain?
#31. To: jwpegler (#26)
Yes, I did. But how would his reelection have made things worse than they are today?
