  • THIS is the best you could come up with?

    I think there's a lot more to worry about with Sarah Palin than her daughter!

  • "Can I just ask: What is it that the President does every day?"

  • It seems like everything in the video hinges on the assumption that teen pregnancy would skyrocket if McCain-Palin were elected.

  • yeah you're stretching with this one. I'm no Palin fan, but this video has absolutley nothing to back it up, and I'm pretty sure you made all those percentages up...

  • @kilroy227 You're absolutely correct. I used hyperbole to the fullest extent.

  • @stymuli Ehh, this goes beyond hyperbole. This looks like something Fox News would cook up if they worked for the Democratic Party instead of the Republican...

  • Russia - the once second world power fell just as swiftly.

  • there was no wedding. Instead we were given socialism. so now 1/3 of population works for the folks who don't want to work

  • The Americans going to mexico...thats going too far. HA

  • It's an interesting story, but you assume quite a bit. Your whole theory is based on people doing what Palin's daughter did. None of it is fact and you have no way to prove any of it. Write it as a novel as you like, but it is fiction.

  • Lol, i thought it was very clever. Well done. The only large problem i can see is that you have assumed that other countries would not be affected by this.

  • Better than where we are headed now!

  • Stymuli:

    Why would the population increase by 300% from a baby boom?

    Why would divorce rates increase just because a presidents daughter got divorced when religion is to blame for most divorces.

    Why would a public healthcare system collapse in the US when it works fine all around europe?

    Privatized healthcare in the US is already at it's most extreme, it is the 1# shame of america. How would it "emerge" from this point?

    I hate(ed) sarah palin, but this video is just wrong.

  • Competitive workforce is mainly found in china and india, japan is struggling as it is with it's own economy, iran does not possess the industrial capacity to become competitive in the sector and Singapore isn't even a big nation.

    Unemployment can not reach over 40%.

    No economy ever grinds to a halt. Look at Zimbabwe, the worst inflation in modern time, but the economy is still working.

    Depressions doesn't crush economy's (see inflation in the Weimar Republic), they merely slow it down.

  • there are a couple countries where unemployment is over 40% and the the economy has ground to a halt before being crushed. i believe its hati thats on the verge of being called the first "failed state"

  • lol, that was "actually good"

    This pleases me.

  • Who knew Bristol Palin had the power to destroy the United States of America? I voted for Obama but I don't believe a McCain administration would lead to our downfall. Give us young people some credit, we're not going to shack up and make babies just because Bristol and her boy toy couldn't control their urges!

  • This is absolutely ridiculous. The election is over, and Obama won, this entire video is a moot point, so I'm not even gonna waste my time arguing these so called facts you made up.

  • How long did it take you to figure out it was all made up? I mean, can you imagine if I were able to predict the future? Gee willigers, Ollie!

  • You Are Speaking The Truth ... Thank God , Obama Won!!!!!

  • Thanks for sendin me this vid.... now I'm scared 0_o

  • Yep, from Texas all right...

  • it is a complement or insult ???

  • Yup, definitely from Texas...

  • great idea! nice vid!

    best greetings from Austria!

  • Hahaha...I know that Republicans like to use the whole "ZOMG society will fall apart" argument a lot when it comes to personal issues, but I didn't think Democrats would as well.

  • Stymuli is a GENIUS!

    Nostradamus ain't got shit on You Homey!

  • What if the maker of this video wasnt a retard?

    Roughly 4000 people wouldnt have wasted 4:33 minutes of their life.

    They would have used that 4 minutes to discover a cure for aids.

    That cure for aids happens to be dinosaur blood.

    Dinosaurs, now cloned en masse take over the world.

    etc

  • im european and dont care about us dumb politics but wtf @ video

  • But it left you all with ...doubt???

  • Horrible, I don't support Palin but this is ridiculous.

  • Okay, geeze, I don't support Sarah Palin, but this is outlandish!

  • this is so fucking retarted..

  • woaaaahhh.. this video is a whole lot of paranoia.

  • wow we have a psychic on our hands oh can you tell me what the future fasions are so i can stay ahead of the ball game lol i think it was a lil rediculus but funny i dont think most of that would have happened and i dont like either of them

  • Honey, your economy chart reads bottom at 12,000. If we were up that much right now we would be doing AWESOME

  • Lol, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on youtube. "Population increases by 300%", "unemployment..75%" I'm an Obama supporter, and I want to tell the author of this tripe that this kind of thing does not help his campaign at all. If you're going to make political commentary, maybe you should try to at least base it partially in reality. A teen marriage in the White House is not going to destroy our country.

  • As a professional writer, this was your best retort?

  • The hair growing inside your head as opposed to growing on it seems to be affecting YOUR brain's ability to process fact from fiction, and apparently, satire from journalism.

  • The economy was great during the baby boom... Economics lesson:

    People were having babies, and thus putting more money into the economy because of the cost of more people in households. As a result, people opened more businesses and businesses grew, thus requiring more employees. Part of the reason the economy is slowing down now is the retirement of the baby boomers.

    People actually aren't having enough children to maintain the population of the U.S.

    L2 understand economics

  • You're partially right. The economy was great during the [first] baby boom because during World War II, Americans exercised patriotism by buying War Bonds; the surplus profits of which went straight into the US Treasury to finance the new [small] businesses that serviced the growing young families of returning [male] soldiers then re-entering the work force. It wasn't the baby boom that made the economy great. Nice try though, junior. You get an "E" for effort.

  • Sounds like you just went in a circle that starts with the baby boom:

    Why were new small businesses needed? To service the growing young families of returning male soldiers.

  • No, not at all. Your initial position suggests that the baby boom precipitated the economic boom. Such is not the case. The economy was already doing well and was growing because of the surplus profit made from War Bonds; profits that flooded the U.S. Treasury. People were having babies as the result of [increasing] confidence in the economy. The economy wasn't doing better because people were having babies. You've got it backwards, son. I say... I say, you've got it backwards.

  • I never said the baby boom precipitated the economic boom. But it certainly enhanced it. The past doesn't matter, because even economists argue over what caused the economic upturn after World War II. The main point is, the baby boom had no negative effect on the economy, just like a baby boom now would have no negative effect on the economy.

  • The economy did well because the government got out of it. There was no "surplus profit" from War Bonds, they didn't mature until years later and in any case the debt was largely inflated away. In any case your video is retarded. To assume such massive effects from the example of two people is moronic. People make their decisions based on reality, not the exampels of politicians relatives.

  • hahahaha... great comedy video.

  • as an Obama supporter, I must say that this caused me brain damage. I don't know the lengths I would go to get my 4.5 mins back. These scenarios are beyond absurd.

  • Does "The Colbert Report" also give you brain damage?

  • scary

  • this is stupid - even if a joke

  • I am an Obama supporter but even I have to say that this was pretty ridiculous. I can't believe I watched the whole thing.

  • this was a waste of my time. And I'm very left-wing!

  • I think the best part of this video is the fact that the majority of the comments are pointing out how ludicrous it is regardless of personal POTUS preferences.

    Cuthulu 2008.

  • OMG. Too much speculation. Too much, OMG too much.

    I mean really. If Palin becomes president, she will be impeached in the week or there will be a military cue (I would be glad for either one really).

  • Learn how to spell!

  • Alright already. English is not my First language. I meant Military Coup. As in Coup d'état. God, your unforgiving people...

  • No offense to you. It is just that your opinion carries more clout if you spell it correctly. People may not understand "cue" to be coup. Thank you for caring enough to look it up!

  • coup as in coup d'etat; pronounced coo day tah

  • All because her daughter has a baby and divorces the father? this is absolutely ridiculous! OBAMA!

  • I couldn't finish this; it is just too silly - even assuming it's meant as a joke, it's just silly, not funny.

    There are plenty of real dangers in electing a woman who believes in witchcraft. Imagine her foreign policy of someone who's thinking is stuck in the 15th century.

  • Way to use the slippery slope fallacy! *thumbs up*

    I don't like Palin, but this is really stupid.

  • this video is as stupid as Sarah palin

  • what a crock of shit

  • I like what if scenarios, but I feel you have ignored too many factors with this one. I fear what would happen to the country with Sarah Palin in power, but I don't think anything will follow the path you outline here. For instance, I don't really see a trend of America's youth copying the children of Presidents.

  • Ugh...why is it that in America we let complete morons gain an opportunity to obtain the highest of political chairs?....

    I can also ask, who is more foolish, the fool or the person who follows the fool?....

  • A. We already have a highly under-qualified workforce and are feeling the effects.

    B. Many steps can be skips as Palin becomes president she puts the final judge on the SC to over-rule R v W. Red states will pass anti-abortion laws-birth rates skyrocket in poor rural areas; welfare skyrockets, etc

    C. As our economy crumbles; if neocons are in charge we will rape the rest of the world's wealth/resources through our superior military...other countries band together to fight back...WW3

    THE END

  • Interesting... frighteningly so. I'm tagging you. You should make a "WHAT IF" of that scenario.

  • Make this frontpage news.

    Great piece of work by the way... Just imagine.

  • : ) Thanks.

  • EPIC.

  • I'm no McCain/Palin supporter, but this video barely qualifies as conjecture. You're just musing with a partisan view, making up random numbers and guessing on what you think Americans would do in general. Next time you make one of these videos try not to be so biased, it would be more hard-hitting and meaningful because it would be imaginable. However the scenario you've given is very improbable, and so is meaningless, since the the only people that would like it would be Democrats.

  • Oh and by the way, I know it was intended to be over the top, but like I said, I think that actually takes away from the quality.

  • Are you really this stupid?

  • Are you? You're the one taking this seriously.

  • No, actually, I'm not. Nobody with half a brain could possibly take this seriously. It's not unreasonable to assume that you are, in fact, being serious with this video, because you haven't given us any indication that you are not a complete half-wit.

    If, as you say, this video is not meant to be serious, then I will admit that you're not necessarily a total moron.

  • No more than you are, I presume.

  • It shouldn't be taken seriously because it declares itself a "what if" video, therefore it's all complete speculation. I think it's interesting but there is nothing that can be substantiated. Just take a deep breath and relax.

  • Well said.

  • Somewhat unrealistic (300% increase in population over two years!), but as a 'What if...' it's interesting.

    I was half-expecting a coup d'état to occur as the nation spiraled down in your story, with the US perhaps being declared a rouge nation by the international community. That is a scary thought.

  • This video paints a scary picture. I'm glad my state (Ohio) seems to be going with Barack Obama and so am I.

  • John McCain voted with George Bush 90% of the time. That's not a Maverick thats a Sidekick.

    Sorry Bristol, Willow, Bark & Nutmeg... mommy has no time for you these days. She's too busy trying to correctly pronounce 'nuclear' &

    spreading lies about

    our next President.

  • i dont like palin, but what IF sky falls.

  • very nice depiction of the future under Palin, perfect choice of words.

  • gr8 video the scenerio might be possible however i believe USA is strong enough to weather such storm caused by mediocrity of its executive

  • what's the soundtrack?

  • "Time is Enemy" by Quantic

  • Ty, actually i found it on playlists lol

  • I see your point of view and it is a very important one. This would be possibly the most extreme outcome of the situation but even if this partially became true it would reduce the power of the united states considerably.

  • The U.S. may not, I believe you on that, but that doesn't stop private companies from sending jobs to Iran, and Iran from accepting those companies, their jobs and their contributions.

  • lol im glad u made an anti-palin video but this is so farfetched it rivals parodies. palin wants abortions to be illegal. so ud have about a 5% population increase from what its at now due to the ppl who choose and can afford it to be done. teen maariages would not become a fad as u need ur parents consent to wed before 18 and that is when teens and young adults are the least into committment. plus they are cheap with no money and could not afford marriage let alone babies

  • I'm glad you enjoyed it and were also able to see the satire in it. : )

    Parental consent may not be a barrier for long. Parents may think, "Well, if they can marry off their knocked up daughter, why can't I?"

    Weddings are expensive, but The Justice of The Peace is not. And if money were the main obstacle to having kids, who would need condoms?

    It's a poke at how something as "innocent" as the proliferation of life (interpret as you wish) is usually what gets us into this and these messes.

  • (Addendum to my previous post-reply) ...the proliferation and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness...

  • lol well with the other persons comment on here i was like wtf

  • this goes too far i think. americans would take her out of office. and americans like barack would stand up to these baby crisis. fucking get birth control dumb bitches. its free a plannedparenthood or like what 30 bucks from a clinic tops . not that hard

  • You're right— it does go too far, and that was the point of this video; it's an exploratory look at what could possibly happen (key word 'possibly') if Sarah Palin is elected.

    Your reactionary outrage and analysis validates all of the many reasons why electing John McCain and Sarah Palin would be disasterous for the country.
