In reply to the discussion: What is your biggest fear if Romney wins the election? [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)50. I have more than one biggest fear.
-We'll be involved in yet another war.
-There would be more cuts to working class programs in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich, which means less money in the pockets of those who aren't rich.
-Romney would be able to pick the next SC justice.
-America's image worldwide would be forever tarnished as our debt grows with other nations, and Romney makes a jackass out of himself among foreign leaders like Bush Jr. did.
-Seeing Republicans gain the satisfaction of ruining Obama's re-election hopes in their plans of obstructing his agenda.
