There will be if people don't vote. Look at the result in North Carolina where a very small percentage of the population decided that gay people couldn't be married.
As for Mitt...if he wins...how will those "anyone but Obama" types feel when he goes off the rails? Mitt has taken positions from pro-choice to anti-choice, from pro-regulation to anti-regulation and so on in his ten plus years...

What will you never forgive your ex for?
I've forgiven him for everything. Grudges, especially against the dead, do no good.
It's not smart or healthy to harbor a grudge.
The person you are mad at is seldom aware of it no matter how much energy you waste on the emotion. If you hold onto that sort of thing it makes the chances of you moving on more and more remote.

In the first one my mother was driving a Triumph (a small two seat convertible) when a drunk ran a red light and t-boned our car. I was small, less than two years old and the impact dislodged me from the seat belt. (This was before car seats were commonly used in about 1960.)

Although I cry along with all the others when I see babies dying of hunger I need to ask - why are people having children when they can not feed them?
You ignore the fact that things like war and displacement of people sometimes turn productive families into starving refugees.
I know it's easier to dismiss peoples pain with the sort of "they asked for it" thinking but it ignores reality.
Here in the U.S. we have seen families go from middle class comfort to food stamps...should they have not had children?

Walmart is looking for a new celebrity for its commercials, who do you suggest?
Some NASCAR or wrestling stooge would be appropriate.
Given WalMart's corporate behavior, were I a celeb, I wouldn't want my name associated with the company. I am sure that they will find someone willing to sell out for a big sack of cash though.

What do you think of curse words? are they necessary in public or with friends or in private with yourself or not at all?
Good answers q_n_a and DrStrangelove
Curse words as DrStrangelove pointed out are just words, we decide whether to give them power.
I use them although I avoid them professionally and in the presence of those I know would be offended by them.
Sometimes, they are just the right choice though.

Women have moved away from the GOP in a substantial way. Message? Emphasize jobs while more quietly pursuing the war on women's rights.

Wow you are on a roll M2B

He is hardly the first president to do so and I imagine he won't be the last to do so either.

No, I am not germ obsessed just reasonably clean. We do not use anti-bacterial agents at my house other than bleach which I seldom use; only on whites and to clean bottles and equipment for home brew.
Exposing children to normal bacteria helps them build immunity. There is also evidence that children exposed to pets have lower incidence of things like asthma too.

Answer to:
Is it wrong for a woman to confide some things more in her best friend than in her boyfriend or husband?
I think it's perfectly fine and indeed appropriate to confide in a friend. Your friend may have a new perspective to share and sometimes, just hearing yourself voice a concern leads you to your own solutions too.
Other times, a sounding board other than your s/o can be great. Is his mother a harpy? Vent to the friend and decide what can realistically be done before talking to him.
That said,...
Answer to:
Charges...Obama intimidated The Supremes! Say what? No one intimidates them! Unless they die or retire you can't get rid of them, right?
So, did Reagan and Bush also "intimidate" SCOTUS or the judiciary when they criticized them?
I am interested in the choice of the word "intimidate" in your question Rosie. Did you pick that word or did you see/hear it used by someone in particular;if so, where?
Answer to:
Isn't it amusing seeing the Obama DOJ trying to backpedal his Supreme Court remarks?
Wow...a president criticizing the SCOTUS?
Unprecedented!
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush both used the State of the Union to criticize judicial actions, including those of the Supreme Court but I bet you forgot all about that right?
Another case of selective memory loss M2B? Or maybe you are just plain unaware of history?

Do "Stand your ground" laws allow you to pursue a burglar blocks from your home and kill them? Should they?
Here is an interesting comment on this case.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a supporter of the “Stand Your Ground” law, but yesterday admitted that he did not know why an arrest was not made in the case and further, that the broad-spanning law did not seem to cover the ass of George Zimmerman. Speaking at an education panel at a Texas university, Bush said:

Want a steak for dinner? Review a slide show of colorectal cancer & visit a slaughterhouse. Makes sense right?
I am an unrepentant meat eater.
I buy my meat from people in the community and it is free of hormones and antibiotics. I also hunt, putting the largest portion on my meat on the table by my own hand. When I still had children at home we also raised chickens and goats.
This question isn't really about meat. Some people got that while others didn't.

Gas? Natural gas is abundant in the U.S. from existing sources.

Answer to:
If you stop washing your face with soap/face wash and water and use water only, will your face smell bad?
No, soap should be used only occasionally on your face and then only in the oily bits. Of course the temperature and your activities along with whether you wear make-up are factors in what to use and how often to use it to cleanse your face.
Some very beautiful women can testify to the value of avoiding both soap and make-up on ones face.

This is a question meant to mislead and it's low.
The Department of Defense has engaged in conversations with the Mayor of New York City, as indicated by the Mayor, asking that the City of New York wait to have a parade for returning veterans.
The Mayor has indicated the City would love to have a parade for vets when the Department of Defense thought it was appropriate.

Sunday would be good too as it is derived from the Latin dies solis, "sun's day," a pagan Roman holiday. Funny isn't it that Sunday is the day all the good Christians flock to church?

Mom used to take offence on my saying Rascal." What words that you used as a kid and considered normal language offend your mom?
When I sang the song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and my mother lost her mind. She thought I was trying to get away with saying shitty.
She was also annoyed by coarse words. I recall once saying I was sweaty. She gave me a very serious look and told me, "W. horses sweat, ladies perspire"

Shall the state follow the Gods of the Hindu or the Gods of the Norsemen or the God of Lutherans or would you just be happy with majority rule? The founders were pretty clear on not allowing that fearing religious persecution of the minority.

I am not entirely opposed to the death penalty. Still I think it should be used sparingly.
While I don't know the details of the case I think parents who torture a child to death are good candidates for the death penalty.

Mrs. Bachmann withdrew but it's my bet she hopes to be on the GOP's short list for the vice-presidency.
