Translation of Article:

“We did our damndest to get this guy elected, but we, even Newsweek, just cannot lie any longer.”

At least she can prove her citizenship, whereas Barack can’t seem to. Also for what it’s worth, I don’t think the Nation of Islam would ever endorse her.

In the end, the problem was the LIVs. That's short for "low-information voters,"

I'll take it any way I can get it.

The conventional wisdom, which I share, is that Barack Obama will win this election

Alter's first mistake.

I’m looking for those voters that don’t care for either candidate to vote to protect the First and Second Amendments from destruction by the Democrats. It will be like 1994, and they will again call us “angry white men”.

Mr. Alter is so very much smarter than all of us racist, low information voters! If you don’t think so, just ask him.

I love how the “low information” voter will only voter for McCain out of racism...oh sure there might be a couple with other reasons, but...

The complete idiocy of the left never ceases to amaze me.

This is to keep the liberal sheep on board. The last thing the MSM needs is for Obambi voters to give up on waiting in a line to vote, just because of an attitude "what's the point, he's going to win anyway, I've seen the polls. May as well get home with thess 40 ouncers and start the victory party!"

This article was good reading, the thing I took out of it was that racism is going to be blamed for the Obama defeat. That means the libs will continue to not have a single clue about what loses national elections in this country.

They are determined to paint anyone that would vote Republican as IGNORANT.... I've got your Low-infomation Voters.... They are the homeless, illiterate, minorities who are being paid to vote as many times as they can get away with and who are voting for some cigarettes and wild turkey.

Low-information voters indeed. Most of us have more information available to us than the accumulation of every Democrat in Philadelphia.

As McCain closed the gap in the last week with his message... fear of another terrorist attack.

Terrorist attack likelihood has hardly been an issue. It is the specter of Obama's socialism that terrorizes voters, but Alter can hardly say that.

You said exactly what I was thinking.

Liberal projection is endlessly fascinating.

The ignorant, racist voters gave the electoral college and the election to McCain while the sexist voters gave Obama a popular vote victory in spite of what happened to Hillary? A disturbing mix of wishful thinking and classic projection.

They don't read newsmagazines

Translation: "They actually have the temerity -- the brazen, unmitigated gall -- not to listen to me: JONATHAN ALTER!!!!!!!"

Incidentally, someone really ought to inform Mr. Big Deal Famous the Writer that "news magazines" is two words, not one.

yep. I had an interesting discussion with a lib at work re: the 2006 elections. He was convinced that they were a referendum on the war, and Dems got "a mandate" to leave Iraq.

IMHO, the 2006 elections were more about Republicans staying home, illegal immigration, and corruption. The War in Iraq might not have even made the top 5.

LOL. Obama has it by a landslide and you know it.

But we’ll be back and after Obama makes a fool of himself plagiarizing his way through four years in the white house — we’ll be back! And we will take congress, senate and the white house with Gov. Palin at the helm.

“...The Lord our God is on our side”

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “We must pray that we are on God’s side.”

God is for the sanctity of life and for liberty.

Remember, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any land.”

Vote for those candidates who have taken a stand for what’s righteous.

So, relax and enjoy it already.

My wife will for sure, the AR15's and AK47's that I'm lining up are making her nervous.. The worst part is, she know's we'll need them and she's least knowledgable/political of us.. She feels a real danger brewing.

I'm a native Texan and she's already said that if the SHTF we are going to Texas, safest place to be.

Monday’s papers will be full of “Obama will lose” articles to try to stem the flow of complacency among ignorant and young Obamamaniacs.
