"Forget four more years, one more year of Obama and this country is toast."

RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

The GOP(e) understands the Rules for Radicals too. Do not allow yourself to fall prey. We'll show up to vote conservative down ticket. The good people we install into office are tasked to keep Obama in check. Trust them to do their jobs. And, if Obama responds to them in the extreme, he only forces We the People who installed them to react in the extreme. So be it.

No sorry America is in balance now.

The next election changes one way or the other, for quite a while.

I wanted Palin first. She stood down, for whatever reason.

I took Romney when he won, and with the nomination of Ryan, Romney / Ryan are (lightyears) ahead of the competition.

No context at all.

Not sure where JT is coming from, but with the nomination of Ryan it is clearly settled for this poster.

Please. Obama's been acting as Emperor of this country, orders issued by fiat, contravening laws that, yes, our elected official put into place. Does the recent amnesty by fiat come to your mind? Obama's already shown no respect for the rule of law much less listening to ANY elected representatives or Senators. He rules by Executive Fiat. And, mark my words, it will only become worse should he remain in office.

I don’t know, I thought Obama would be bad, real bad, but he is even worse than I thoguth he would be.

I look around my area and my state and I see utter devistation and we are better off than much of the country. My City is more than solvent, the state has a lower than average unemployment rate and a rainy day fund. Thanks to the new Republican Governanace.

Yet, so many closed businesses, so many long term unemployed, so many forclosures, so man empty stores and restyaurants. I took my family to a local inexpensive restaurant today. Normally it is packed. Very little going on at 6pm. Waitress said business is getting worse and worse. very nervous. fewer and fewer customers comming in every week.

I live in a very nice community, solid middle to upper middle class one that never has any forclosures, yet now, and for seeveral years, there are dozens all the time.

Every forclosure, every lay off, every lost job oprotunity, every closed business is another family that is in trouble, another loss of hope, another serious blow to society.

Obama has been bad, his reality has been much worse than his threat.
