I know, the title is creepy, but before jumping at me, just consider these facts...
1. IT IS THE WORST TIME TO BE IN POWER FOR ANY NATIONAL PARTY America has been suffering the worst economic crisis since 1929. Americans are blaming the party ruling the executive branch for this rout, and that's why McCain numbers are so low. Now think that Obama will begin his presidency with America depressed. The power will be 100% controlled by Democrats, and the anger of the folks will turn against them.
2. DECMOCRATS WILL HATE OBAMA JUST AS THEY NOW HATE THEIR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS Obama is unable to achieve his promises, either on healthcare or social security. There is simply no money for these projets in tough economic times. An Obama presidency won't be Democratic at all, just as the 2006 democratic Congress ended up being the all-time worst, according to Democrats themselves.
3. - AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY IN TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES WILL PURSUE STATUS QUO, NO MATTER WHO IS IN CHARGE With an economic crisis at home, Americans will be careful and will probably cherish the status quo abroad. Israel is ready to strike Iran. If Israel moves wisely, the Iranian threat could be destroyed, even with Obama at the White House.
4. - THE BEST WAY TO DESTROY DEMOCRATS IS TO LET AN UNEXPERIENCED, RADICAL LEFTIE RULE THE COUNTRY DURING A RECESSION American taxpayers will never forget an Obama presidency... and this will open a freeway for Republicans in the decades following 2012.
Respectfully disagree. B Hussein Obama launched his career in the living room of an unrepentant American terrorist. This man can NOT be allowed to be Commander in Chief.
No sale, drzz.
We cannot turn both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue over to unreconstructed Commies. The damage they could do would take decades to undo, if it was possible at all.
Oh I gezz you convince me I now voting for Obama.
Look to our neighbors to the North, the Conservatives in Canada were down to 2 seats in Parliament, and now they’re back in power and likely to win the next Canadian election.
Sometimes it’s good to be “in the wilderness” for a few years, and allow the necessary blood-letting to take place in the party.
No, he won’t, and no, it wouldn’t.
The media will never let Hussein take the fall for anything, it will be Bushes fault for decades to come.
If McCain doesn’t wake up, he will lose.
Plus we are still suffering from the damages from Jimmy Carter and yet to see the damage that Clinton had done.
We will lose on the supreme court, we will lose on the second amendment, we will lose on abortion, we will lose abroad, and we will lose our prosperity, etc., etc..
It will take a generation (or more) to recover from an Obama administration in league with both houses of Congress.
ML/NJ
What about national defense? He won’t defend our country.
Assuming that Obama permits the 2012 elections to be held, of course.
If this man is truly as dangerous as his associations suggest, he might just use the economic crisis to create a dictatorship.
Epic fail.
Wishful thinking that the country and Dems would turn against their party. I personally thought that when Bill Clinton got elected. I was confident that the country would turn right after 1 term of Clinton and we saw how that turned out. He probably could have won another term or two.
Trouble is that in 4 years there will be at least 10 million additional Dem voters.
All of President Obama’s problems will be blamed on Bush.
Two words - SUPREME COURT.
The damage that Zero would do to this country, aided and abetted by controlling interest in both houses, would be irreparable. He must be stopped.
Point four is not substantiated by history. FDR presided over a Second Great Depression in 1937. The result? He was elected two more times, and everyone has forgotten that the Depression got worse again before it got better.
You forget, socialists can always argue that it’s the market’s fault. If it’s plausible now, it’ll be plausible down the road.
The current version of the GOP would implement the very same programs. The GOP needs an enema, and it will be better down when out of power.
Just remember, if it wasn't for Jimmy Carter, we wouldn't have gotten Reagan.
There is a major flaw in your assessment. The MSM .
If B.O. gets elected , all of the doom and gloom will have been erased . If bad news does seep out , the Republicans and Bush will get the blame . The MSM still has far too much power and will cover for B.O. .... he will ride a wave of good times whether real or imagined ...
“...and allow the necessary blood-letting to take place..”
We can only lose so much blood before we’re dead.
No friggin way.
Dumb idea
You are so wrong and I care more about USA than GOP.
However, what causes me great concern is that the next president will surely get to appoint two (perhaps three) Supreme Court Justices. Granted that Brocco would be a one-termer, if elected; but a leftist court will prove to be a huge obstacle to his conservative successor.
Resume of: B HUSSEIN OBAMA
1.) COLB
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Michele’s?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ft Flager, Ayers, Rezko, Davis, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views
THIS IS THE TRUTH FOLKS!!
Keep the community organizer out of the White House
Supreme Court
Jimmy Carter only served 4 years of elected office as president but continues to muck up things on behalf of his Saudi masters.
And Bush would be blamed, just as he was blamed in 2000 for “ruining” the economy by talking about the coming recession DURING the Clinton administration.
I see you didn’t get the memo!
Good points all, but once the pro-Obama “Brown-shirts” (Civilian Security Force that is “as big, well-trained and well-funded” as our military) hit the streets, then there won’t BE a 2010 election.
Of course DU is already predicting (for the fourth time in the last 6 years) that martial law will be in place before the election or at least before the inauguration.
The markets are actually in suspense until the election. If Barry Hussein becomes President, they will tank in an epic way. Short the market and buy gold.
prediction
McCain 311
0bama 227
We win by losing? Yea, right. There may never be another election.
Yeah, it sure hurt FDR and the Dems when they took over in 1933 during the Great Depression. In 1933, the Dems held a 333 to 117 [plus 5 Ind.] advantage in the House and 59-36 in the Senate. During the period 1933 to 1994, the Dems held the House for all but four years.
You don;t consider the possibility that Obama will be percidevd as a successful presdident, which I would say is more likely than not given all the favorable media treatment he will get.
You’re so vain ..... you probably didn’t think the “no more vanities” thread wasn’t about you.
I recall a lot of Freepers back in 2000 saying Clinton was going to impose Martial Law because of Y2K.
To be sure, if Obama is President and the Congress is in control of the DEMS there will be changes to the Constitution. First change, the term for President is 20 years. Forget ever seeing a conservative win another election!

We learned our 700 billion dollar lesson for sitting out the ‘06 elections
SC nominations alone are just the top of the mountains of reasons to keep jughead out of the White House
I am afraid it will never be restored.
Doesn’t seem that there are enough people left who understand the concept of freedom.
Once they take it away, it will be gone forever.
Wow, I never saw your post before I posted #31. Great minds...LOL
Obama must not win. This is giving in to them and I won’t do that. That statement is like saying we shouldn’t even try. I have doubts about the writers loyaltys.
I agree with you on this point. If O get in, my only hope would be that no conservative judges retire or die during his first and only term. That would at least limit the damage to perpetuating the current split in the court.
