There is one thing I am sure would flow from a Romney victory, and alone is scary as hell

In two words: tort reform. The republicans have two wet dreams, the first is to keep the common man out of the voting booth and the second is to keep us out of the civil courts. If you can't vote and you can't sue you're nothing but a slave.

...that I'm sure he doesn't give a rat's ass about.

But being the vulture he is, I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to use his power to wrap big business in as much bubble wrap as possible.

St. Paul, Minn. — President Barack Obama gave a nod to supporters of tort reform during his State of the Union address Tuesday night. Even while defending his health care law, the president said he'd be open to "medical malpractice reform to rein in frivolous lawsuits."
