This is so because by saying that something that never happened could have been better than what has happened to this point, you're basically trying to predict the future of the unrealized past from a present perspective. That is the same as trying to predict the future that hasn't occured yet from our current view point.
Maybe thinking would be a better waste of time?

regardless of election outcome, you're still an idiot
Dude open yer fucking eyes and just look at lets say the national deficit when repubs are in office VS Dems..... now you tell me there wouldn't have been a difference. Republicans ALWAYS drive us into a debt and Dems ALWAYS pull us out of it. But you're right, 4 more years of republican spending VS Democratic fiscal responsibility wouldn't have made any difference either.

I don't know any sane person who thinks the future can be predicted, but hell, that doesn't stop all you bitching assholes from complaining all the time.

exactly, so how the fuck do you know if Kerry had been elected it wouldn't have been different? Now shut the fuck up, argument works both ways and you're contradicting yourself jackass.
