Yikes. Elections do have consequences. It’s not like the Obama campaign to use fear tactics, so their terrifying new video showing the news on the 100th day of a Romney presidency is a departure in tone.
What’s at stake, you ask? Watch here, but steel yourself first.
CHICAGO says, “What would lead the news on the 100th day of a Mitt Romney presidency? OFA’s new “breaking newscast” has the top stories Americans could expect to see if Romney gets to push his version of “real change” as president: a tax cut for millionaires and corporations is signed into law as taxes rise for the middle-class; Chinese manufacturing is booming as American jobs are shipped overseas; Roe v. Wade threatened by the confirmation of President Romney’s first nominee to the Supreme Court; Medicare is turned into a voucher system; and Obamacare is repealed, leaving many Americans with preexisting conditions without insurance.
Elections have consequences, and this is the “real change” that Romney is promising. It’s the kind of change that Americans simply can’t afford. In four days, Americans will decide if they want to continue moving forward with President Obama, or if Romney gets to deliver the change he has promised, taking us back to the same failed policies of the past.”
Tax cuts for millionaires, Roe V Wade on the docket to be overturned, no FEMA, Medicare being turned into vouchers — not a pretty picture. While Romney probably couldn’t actually achieve all of these goals, they are fair representations of positions he has taken at one time (and later denied, avoided, walked back, lied about, etc.).
You might want to share this video with undecideds. Sometimes it takes a little exaggeration or imagination to get people to wake up. After all, this does represent what a Romney presidency would look like without any obstacles (read Democrats) in the road.

People need to understand the consequences. I do not think the average voter understands all the pieces of a campaign. This ad will succinctly give them the whole picture and make it clear that President Obama has their backs covered.

Yeah. In *my* nightmare, they are also repealing all the child labor laws, overturning Baker v. Carr, repealing the Nineteenth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment and Borking the Thirteenth Amendment so debt slavery is permissible and common. But maybe that’s the next year.

My nightmare – by 100 days, they start talking about executing or imprisoning the “enemies of God” and formulating lists. Evolution will be banned and anyone who taught it will be sent to re-education camps – ditto for any of the sciences that involve evolution. A new law banning atheists and pagans will be before congress – stripping them of their American Citizenship (likewise for anyone who can’t prove they’re mostly “white”). Anyone with Latino ancestors will also face examination and possible expulsion from the country of their birth. Mixed-race marriages will be banned, and those in those marriages will find themselves in prison. It might even become a crime to be friends with someone from a different culture or race. Freedom of speech will become “Freedom to preach the Gospel”, and protests (and complaints against jackass street preachers) will be outlawed. Slavery will be reinstated “as punishment for crimes”.
Think these are extreme? Read J. Rousas Rushdoony, who is the person whose ideas are behind most of dominionism. He’s already laid these things all out… and they’re following his game plan.
As far as volunteering, well, my wife did. I have too much on my plate to do anything (and I refuse to go door-to-door in my neighborhood – it’s too damned dangerous!). I’m kind of between a rock and hard place, actually – if we don’t win the election, no future. If I don’t do well this first semester, no future. No other options. Literally.

And also in the news today, after calling China names for the last one hundred days, the Leader of China arrived at the Whitehouse and promptly bitch slapped President Romney. When the Secret Service tried to stop he he told them to stand down or he would take away our supply of every single thing China sends us. Thank god not including Chinese Waitresses

The very thought of this cretin as president is enough of a nightmare, along with having to endure his uniquely dishonest, substance-free campaign. I fear that he would be a dishonest, self-entitled, and arrogant president who would be incapable of listening to different opinions from his or taking advice that wouldn’t suit his preconceived ideas about issues. That’s what he has shown just as a presidential candidate. I won’t rest easy until I know he has been soundly and severely defeated.

I don’t think the video is from Obama camp. It contrasts way to much with their ad styles. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kroch brothers were behind this.

This is a bit ridiculous, I am an Obama supporter, I voted by mail and I don’t believe Romney (if he won) would bother doing much in the first 100 days, much less the first 1,000. He would lower taxes for the rich and appoint a lunatic like Robert Bork, (read your history, he was a fanatic Nixon ass kisser) to the Supreme Court and destroy America as a free country, FOR ALL, but to think he possesses the ability to do all of the things listed is giving him what he does not have. COURAGE, CONVICTIONS, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, the list is endless of what Mitt Romney does not possess. What he does have is the lunatic right and some of the conservatives (unfortunately many with money) who want to change America to what they think is best. GET OUT AND VOTE, IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS A CHANCE TO WIN. This country is SAD when less than 40 % of our population actually votes.

I don’t believe this. both candidates are going to do nothing for the country, both have bad plans. either way we are screwed. I voted for Romney though. I like to work for my money and receive what I earn. I’m not for working so others can live off of government assistance. I get food stamps too, but I work as much as I can. Obama hasn’t helped with making unemployment rates go down, so I’m stuck with a part time job. overall, this election is screwed and so are we, regardless of who is president. Obama’s 100th day (if he is re elected) isn’t going to be pretty either, unless your values are super messed up. face the facts.

Romney keep change his position what he going to do for this country, just want you to remember We are the one elec. president to working for US, NOT for him to side with big money company. And you know Romney IS the person don’t care middle class people, look are around you open your eye look, we are getting better this pass 4 year we can not go back, we have to put people power to help best president to bring us out the problems, I have 3 daughters, & 2 granddaughters I don’t want some non-edcauted (sorry I have to used this word) people to make the policy to take their right out of their hand. Think-can you see Romney working for you? Me? NO. it’s up to you to vote but hope you make the right choice.
