Mr. Romney will do as his forbearers have done. History has shown that being a conservative president is not a very good thing. Did you know that during the period of roughly 1860 until 1932 there were only 2 Democratic presidents? During this period, following are widely accepted as recessions:

1860
1865
1869
1783
1882
1887
1890
1893
1896
1899
1902
1907
1910
1913
1918
1920
1923
1926
1929

72 years, a huge shaping on our government and country as aggressive thieving imperialists, and 17 recessions including the Great Depression. That’s the recent past legacy of the GOP. The current legacy is exemplified under 8 years of GW Bush, where we had 2 recessions, including the biggest one ever. IMO, the GOP is due for about a 50 year span where they can wander in what remains of the woods. Their incompetence at government management has created the biggest part of the problems we face. It’s a historical fact. If you look at more recent times, you'll find a continuation of that pattern. Nothing ever changes for these thugs. < snip >
