Screw it!

[LL2]

To fellow conservatives:
I'm not ready to throw in the towel and say that McCain/Palin will lose. Just for the heck of it, why not say screw it and let Obama win. I know it's a nightmare we do not want to envision or haunting our dreams for the next 4 years. Let the Obama, Pelosi, and Reid and the other Dems get control of everything. Let them get the 60 vote majority in the Senate. Why not? If everything improves and we are all prosperous then great, but if everything goes to hell in this great country of ours in the next 4 years then they have NO ONE to blame but themselves. This will empower conservatives and true independents. People are extremely short minded and reminding them of what is was like during the Carter years isn't enough. They need a punch in the face to see the stark realities of the errors and of the Obama Doctrine. Folks like PIP, Tyrone and others can't point at Palin, Bush, McCain, etc for the failures. If everything hits the crapper they can say they inherited this mess, so it's not Obama's fault. Yet, they say everything was rosey and better after Clinton's first term in office. If that was the case under Clinton, then everything should be fabuluous under Obama because he is The One. I think it could be a fun ride and we will survive it.

oh boy.

You should hope that President Obama is extremely successful. Period.

[Freak Out]

Let him win...sure.

Rapture and orgasm are words I like....what are you asking though? Why we are going to vote for Hussein?

Never ask the Oracle to interpret its own words. That's bordering on blasphemy. Or redundancy. "I am what I am."

Alright, screw it; I will throw in my two cents too. I have a strong belief in the Conservative philosophical model for humankind. Contrary to what a few posters (cough, cough, Hoosier, Ty, cough) here think, I don’t listen to Rush, Hannity, etc. Rarely do I watch TV, but I do like Brit’s news show in the evening. I have many very good friends who are Liberals. I realize that the sun will come up on Inauguration Day if Obama is elected. My life will go on. That’s our system. I am much more concerned about the fact that nearly half (and everyday, more and more) of our country can’t even put together a coherent argument for what they believe in. It seems as though the system is spitting out dumber and dumber kids with minds that are more and more closed.

CAVEAT!!!!!!! I really hope what I am going to say now doesn’t happen, it would be a disaster.

I notice a whole lot of ingredients coming together at the same time that could create a very combustible time in our history. The economy is tanking. Unemployment is getting higher and will go much higher than most people think. There is an undercurrent of fear out there; people are not sure where they will live or how they will feed their kids. As we all remember from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, when people do not have a base level of comfort (food and shelter) they can get a little crazy. There is also a big undercurrent of class warfare too. And lastly, the whole race card. Take a look at the headlines you have been reading lately; more and more you hear about how cities are making plans for rioting if Obama does not win. And the worst case of them all……..if some nut case on the Right does something once Obama is elected. It will make the Rodney King Riots look like a walk in the park.

It’s all out there right now……right below the surface. I hope it does not happen.

Howard;

I do agree with your last post.

The right does not have a monopoly in all nut cases; do they?

Since the left beleives in quotas and afirmitive action;
it would be logical that they have their fair share
of nut cases too!

Given newspeak these nut cases on the left are found in the
legislative and judical sections of the govenment.

If the Hussein becomes POTUS then will Aunt Ruth G become
the chief chair?

No....the next Prez will probably get the chance to nominate a justice or two but unless the acting chief leaves he stays the chief as far as I remember.

LL2, we very well could reach the point on or before election day where your scenario is the only straw left to grasp.

I don't think we're quite to that poInt yet, though. I am still clinging to the slim hope that polling flaws exist, and McCain/Palin are actually even or ahead in the key states. I could even see see the good guys winning in electoral votes and losing the popular vote.

McCain really pisses me off, though. It almost seems he's throwing the election with this stupid "Joe the Plumber" crap. He called his trip through Florida a "protect your wealth" tour. Sheesh! That's just fine if you're going for the vote of all those making over $250,000. But if you want and need the votes of the majority of Americans, you DON'T play right into the hands of Obama's highly effective/media enabled Class warfare rhetoric. Obama has HUGE vulnerabilities on security, defense, radical associates, social issues, etc. Emphasizing any or all of those would be a winner. Whining about how it's not fair to increase taxes on the wealthy, no matter how true and valid the argument is, is a LOSER when it comes to influencing electoral results.

The "Lose to Obama" scenario might just be survivable--as you say, except for two factors:

The lesser one is the prospect that the next president, especially if he is a two term president, will be able to pack the Supreme Court with several new justices. This is an especially significant thing if it is Obama--having a complicit left-leaning Congress. There also will be a ton of influential Federal Judge appointees.

The far GREATER factor is the specter of terrorism on American soil. Can there be ANY DOUBT that Obama will make that prospect extremely much more likely? The piece of crap OPPOSED all of the aspects in the War on Terror that have been so successful up to now in preventing repeats of 9/11--taking the War to the enemy's region of the world, enhancing security through the Patriot Act, etc., locking up probable terrorists without due process and with harsh interrogation, Obama took the anti-American position every step of the way. He even stated in his book, if it comes to a major confrontation between America and Islam, he stands with Islam.

How could any America-loving American dispute the fact that THIS--Obama's stance on preventing terrorism in America--is the MOST important issue--the ONE single factor that America just might NOT be able to survive?

No, both sides have their share of nut cases......the Left just has more sheep.

It IS the most important issue, but - out of sight out of mind - virtually no one is paying attention, except maybe Joe Biden. He knows Barack is unqualified, says so, and they ship him off to an undisclosed location. Except for some on FOX, and conservative blogs and mags, NO ONE is paying attention to the war against Islamic terrorism. They are following the economy and want the massive hand outs being promised by the messiah, B Frank, Pelosi, etc. Free Health care, free daycare, free cars, AND a TAX CUT to boot. It's the Magical Mystery Money Tree Tour - the one that ends in March 2009, when everyone gets taxed.

And HOW does that happen? The God damned left-saturated mainstream media, that's how.

Their side is playing the game more effectively than our side.
