Irie,

First of all, Cap and Trade legislation was just defeated in the Senate.

If you look at the list and seriously think they wont be revisited, you have been asleep.

Thanks for the petty correction about veterans status. Regardless of where the bases are, not all the soldiers will be coming home if Obama is elected. My point about the 2010 Census, was unfinished. We can expect serious gerimandering. Since it hasnt happened yet, its still a prediciton. Perhaps you dont want people to think about the future games that could be played. Should Obama get more voters and lose the election, you will hear more cries about getting rid of the electoral college.

The assault weapons ban passed under clinton and ran out under Bush. The exact name of other legislation restricting semi automatic and automatic weapons is unknown to me. They only reason they have not clamped down on guns further is the fact that a lot of single women voters are now gun owners.

When compared to global warming predictions, these are not so wild. Did you believe Ted Dans claims about the oceans some 14 years ago. What happened to the population explosion predictions and the food shortage.

At one time, a round earth or flying was tin hat. At one time, 100 dollar oil was tin hat.
At one time, star wars technology was tin hat. However, the US military currently has at least one jet that has a lazor in the nose to destroy incoming missles. The planes were a cost saving measure.

Tax increases (do not have to happen) Democrats raise taxes, because they are unable to tell anyone NO! They have been buying votes for a very long time. The federal budget increases, automatically 10% per year. All cuts come out of a 10% increase. I find it absolutely bizarre that no politician has seriously talked to Iraq about paying for this war, with their own oil. At 135 per barrel, it would not take long to pay back the US. There is nothing that will repay families of dead and crippled soldiers but money is always a good start. Deficits are not new to Democrats, after all, they threw in the social security trust fund into the general budget. Meanwhile Chile has a privatized social security retirement system.

I dont care if you think they are tin hat. Predictions of the future are inherently subject to ridicule. Wild or not remains to be seen. But then, the messenger is always the first one shot. At least you can keep hoping for the other half of the list. Lighten up, I probably dislike McCain more than you do.
