Check for the lies tonight!  

And just for the record - If Obama Loses  by John Cole


If Obama loses, we will be at war with Iran.
If Obama loses, the Republicans will lower taxes on the rich and continue to shift the burden to the middle class and poor, to the tune of 5 trillion dollars. That’s a fact, despite Romney lying about it in the debate. Because, you know, job creation. Just like we created NO jobs during the Bush years despite the massive tax cuts and turning a surplus into a massive deficit.
If Obama loses, the assault on women’s rights will continue.
If Obama loses, the EPA will be gutted.
If Obama loses, more corporate leaning and national security fanatics (all probably belonging to Opus Dei, as GOD WANTS IT) will be appointed to the Supreme Court and Roe will be struck down.
If Obama loses, we will spend 2 trillion more on defense, above and beyond what the Pentagon wants.
If Obama loses, Obamacare will be gutted. But in the worst way possible. They’ll get rid of the mandate, but keep all the things that will drive costs up.
If Obama loses, Medicare and Medicaid will be gutted. Medicare will go from the safety net it is for seniors into a target rich environment for insurance fraud, with elderly patients given a pittance in vouchers to get rogered by the free market.
...
If Obama loses, gay rights will be set back decades.
If Obama loses, the New Deal will, for all intents and purposes, be repealed. We will be back to the days of the roaring 20’s. You know, right before the crash.
If Obama loses, Dodd/Frank will be history, and our Galtian overlords on Wall Street rule again (not that that ever really stopped, mind you), and all of your pensions, all of your local municipal investments, etc., will be raided and shipped overseas to Cayman accounts. Right next to Mitt’s foreign bank accounts.
If Obama loses, hundreds of billions of dollars in tax dodging money will be “repatriated” so it can be used to copy the Bain model and continue to bankrupt our businesses and send jobs overseas.
If Obama loses, the FDA will be gutted. But don’t worry- the market will correct!
In short, if Obama loses and RMoney wins, it will be an all out disaster for this country. Republicans like to quote the Road to Serfdom as a cautionary text, when they really do have a plan for the road to serfdom. For you and me....
