It pains me to write this, but I am a realist: Barack Obama is one-hundred-percent guaranteed to win the 2012 Presidential race, and there is precious little anyone can do about it.
Please do not take this as a license to do nothing to prevent it. It is best that we go to our fate knowing we did all we could to stop it. We must know in deep in our core that all our hearts and souls were poured into thwarting the plans of this tyrant.
However: allow me to present the reasons I know we are destined to have another -- terminal -- four years of Obama:
And if you thought Obama was bad in Presidential term one, imagine him with nothing to lose in Presidential term two.
There’s actually a reason I’m doing this. If this becomes the public meme — That Obama will start a conflict with Iran to get the popularity boost and the defense against high gas prices — there is a chance it will be so viral as to redound to his detriment.
To get attention to the concept, I might need to shock people a little.
The resulting nightmare society will either cause Obama to lose big time and he goes quietly, or he uses the Iranian war as an excuse for Martial Law or to postpone the elections, and all Hell breaks loose.
Obama will lose big time if Romney chooses a solid running mate and Conservatives rally to save the country...
And I'M NUMBER TWO! Yaaaay!
Oh, wait a minute....
I’ll be waiting.
2. When high gas prices become a positive for you or any other consumer/voter, post me. Wrong again.
3. Whites have had a belly full of racist BS. Don't look for white guilt to reelect Obama. Ain't gonna happen.
4. Everybody knows the MSM is lying about Obama & the economy. If they have any effect on the election, it will be in denigrating the Pub nominee, not in hiding a collapsing economy.
5. OWS is just laughable.
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but you are dead wrong here.
Obama intends to STEAL the election in key states. That's the ONLY way he can get reelected.
If anybody thinks the USSC/Obamacare decision is a potential crisis moment, wait until December, when the court must decide if Obama blatantly stole the election, & the Justice Dept. was deeply complicit. Then, wait to see WHO will have to REMOVE the Obama's from the WH in January.
Zero is also a sniveling wet-his-pants coward, and a bully child.
He will only attack the weak or helpless, he will never go up against Putin or Hu, they would clean his clock in a New York minute. Both Russia and China and about five other nations will not let Zero use the UN for cover anymore, he's out there all alone. NATO won't know him when they see oil and gas throttled. Israel will do what they want, all Zero can threaten is foreign aid, and they don't need it. Russia will be sitting on all Iran's nuke facilities and weapons and won't allow an attack on Israel.
Russia will influence Turkmenistan to continue airbase cooperation with Israel to assure Israel and spite Obama.
I have been saying some of these same things Laz and my “friends” say I am crazy... I pray I am wrong... but I doubt it.
See my #101.
Oh NO! Here come THE nekked pictures of Laz.
It sounded haughty? I’m really sorry as I did not intend it to seem so.
I honestly do NOT think Obama should be the one to speak for this nation. Personally, I don’t think he has any sincere relationship with God. He lacks the fruits that would demonstrate that.
I firmly believe if the bulk of God’s people did as HE recommends...He would INDEED act on our behalf.
“If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
He’s moving those ships to the Persian Gulf for SOMETHING, and despite the fact that Dear Leader is a metrosexual spineless wimp, I’ve been thinking for a while that he’s got something up his sleeve for Iran. And that he’s going to wait for election time. Then, OMG, we’re at war! We have to support a wartime president! /s
About the gas prices....I think that will be a negative for voters and he won’t be able to spin it, except for the abysmally brain-damaged enviro-lefties, who want us to pay high prices for gas.
Agree about the race stuff....and I know there was more, but I can’t go back and see because I keep timing out, LOL.
Add the 'loaned backbones' of some seasoned, combat-experienced Generals, and we might observe a different Obama. His level of cynicism is unlike anything I have ever seen in any President. His disregard for people as anything more than utilitarian pawns to be pushed about for HIS GAIN is my #1 key on his upcoming strategy.
Do we still have God’s protection on this nation? Seriously, I question that. There was an article about sodomites dressed as nuns who took over a Catholic church for Easter, and that’s just one tiny drop in a sea of filth and degradation. I don’t see how we could possibly be any better than Sodom.
Yup. Couple these rather unusual (for Obama) actions with his very nihilistic and Machiavellian personality, and the pieces fit.
Yup. At this point, they’re not doing anyone but the Obama any good. They may all be valid, and the FR canonical position warranted, but at this point only serves to damage the best, however bad, option we’ve got.
He can have a war with Iran all he wants as long as he goes alone. I really don't think the rest of the country wants it, nor can we afford it, especially after 10 years of war. If Iran pulls a 9/11 on us, all bets are off.
RIGHT! Just like when the Jews and Communists burned down the Reichstag Building!
I'm sure you catch my meaning here.
According to Rush, if the SOTU overturns the ‘mandate’, the campaign slogon will be: “5 Republican members of the SCOTUS have taken away your healthcare!”

I concur that election fraud will be rampant because with the criminal head runnning the unJustice department no prosecutions for cheatring will happen.
As to race riots/race war, the global elitists want this but do not want the nsurance collapse which would follow large segments of cities burned to a crisp. We'll have to see how much influence the global elitist have over little barry bastard. Personally I think he's a commie at heart, not a globalist. He wants this nation to collapse as proven by the actions he is taking to bring that about with massive application of the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Remember what these generals did when Putin stuck it to Georgia, and consider...
1) Putin specifically engineered the Georgia operation to humiliate the US and NATO.
2) To deliver a object lesson to any European nation that would suck up to the US, aspire to join NATO, aspire to join the EU.
3) Used a justification identical to the US justification for the the rape of Serbia and Kosovo.
4) Secured all the oil and gas pipelines to Europe.
And the US did what?
Yep, them combat experienced generals will be real anxious to help out Zero.
All due respect, but I just can’t see Obama taking the offensive militarily versus the Persians. Dude has no spine when it comes to the military, and plus, it’ll alienate his leftist base big-time.
The key that most FReepers forget: 90% of voters will split the vote regardless of who’s on the ticket. Seriously, you could run Mother Theresa vs. Cuthulu and they’d get a 45/45 split. Of the remaining 10% (could be a mere 5%, adjust math accordingly) to win one only need persuade 5.01% - and these are people who view both viable candidates as equal (otherwise they would be in the 90%+ category). Persuasion need not be total, it just need be a marginal preference. Classic techniques for garnering that marginal preference are (A) war, and (B) money: give ‘em a reason to not change mid-stream in something serious, and/or pay ‘em enough that they’ll be beholden to the candidate. The military is already chomping at the bit for a fight so however much our current POTUS dislikes such things he can just say “do it” out of political expediency and walk away, returning to his specialty of smokey backroom deals for buying votes via handing out large piles of money he has authority to give yet he’s not responsible for.
He doesn’t need a spine.
He just needs to say “do it.”
He will continue to spin gas prices, and plans to reduce them, but I expect they'll peak and fall in time for reelection. He isn't being hammered on gas prices like Bush because it's not part of the tiresome "Big Oil" narrative. It's all beyond his control, don't you know.
The kneejerk demagogic Trayvon stand is the very definition of low-grade racial warfare. The war on voter ID is another front in that strategy. The pressitute framework that criticism or facts about Obama's = racism is another. Many more of these divisive lines of attack ahead. The "historic" nature of his presidency is his Trump card. Based upon his objective record, if he were John F. Kerry, his reelection goose would be cooked. Generations of race card indoctrination by the Left's plantation mentality evangelists all but assure a first term mulligan for the golfer-in-chief.
Lies about the economy and cooked books are standards.
Occupy will be used against Romney. We've seen it all along, even this week Obama saying they couldn't afford Michelle not working despite his $162,000 a year salary. His salary put them well inside the top ten percent of all incomes and hers put them in the fabled top one percent.
He will run against a "do nothing Congress" despite the obstructionism of hooligan Harry Reid's Senate. The press and his campaign will depend upon an ignorance of the American People who will take "congress" as to mean the GOP-controlled House.
He will run against SCOTUS if the ObamaCare is struck down, in whole or in part. He will use it as reason he needs to be reelected: to ensure more fair and socially-minded justices are appointed to the High Court rather than right-wing extremists like Alito, Scalia or Thomas.
Lastly, as you mention, is the phony "war on women." Actress Park Overall (nurse on Empty Nest) is using that to launch her Tennessee Democrat bid for the U.S. Senate seat up for reelection in November. There is no candidate taking away contraception, not even senator sanctimonious. This was settled by the Supreme Court 7-2, almost 50 years ago, that states cannot ban contraception (Griswold v. CT). The modern "debate" is all about who pays. We know birth control using women can pay $4/mo or even $10 for three months supply at outlets like Walmart even today. If contraception is your choice and you can't afford $3/mo, you have no business lying down with a man nor he with you.
There's high probability Obama is reelected; if he's not, I'll wonder if have reached the start of a post-racial period. I'd like to believe four more of Obama/Biden's not quite set in stone but I'm not bullish on GOP's chances even at keeping the House.
!!!!!
Exactamundo.
Reminds me of a line from the Clash:
If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway.
Dig, but even then, a cold, calculating douche like Obama knows that if he does, he'll be putting his head in a noose, because then he'll be George Bush in Iraq. An all-out war with Iran will make Iraq look like amateur hour; we're talking a long, protracted war here. Drafts. Big-time deprivations back on the home front. Cats and dogs living together. Bye-bye lefty base, too, for coming to Israel's aid.
I think I’m about resigned to your opinion as well.
With Rick dropping out and not asking for his delegates to pledge and support Newt we’re about done.
Unless Newt is wholey committed to a floor fight.
I’ve already heard these things from friends who are zombies.
When I frame the issues to what are real and not inventions they quiet down but I think the are hopeless and legion.
They don’t get that the fight on Health Care isn’t about health Care, rather that a government can impose its will on us and dictate how we live our live.

[shrug] SOP for dictators. Remove part of the population (be it temporary or permanent), institute strict control of resources for whoever remains. Latter is tolerated because it "benefits" the former. Won't be so much for Israel's aid as to stand aloof and calm the antagonists to protect the world's needs - to wit, a war for oil.
Methinks you're making Laz's point for him.

Newt announced his support for Romney over the week-end. That is probably what persuaded Santorum to drop out.
Sadly, moments after I posted, Santorum dropped out. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems Romney is the GOP nominee. That is profoundly discouraging to me, and will take some time to digest.
LOL
I too like the “Fighting Bitch” from Georgia ....
Uhm gunna cut yuh!!!

The spineless little b@st@rd authorized military action on sovereign soil (Pakistan's) to get Osama. What makes you think he wouldn't threaten Iran if it suited his purpose?
Some say Hillary and Leon made the decision for him and then hauled his sorry @ss off the golf course in time to watch the raid. Could be true. And if an Iranian conflict suits their purpose to stay in power?
I don't put anything past them.
From one goofy n00b to another...
Granted, I hear where you're coming from, but I'm thinking that taking out the dude who masterminded 9/11 is one thing; taking on the entire sovereign nation of Iran is quite another. When Obama "took out" Osama, at least he could say "hey, I just did what George Bush couldn't do despite eight years of trying." But taking on Iran is a different kettle of fish. That, in my opinion, would require mobilizing the country on a near WWII level. We'd have to go on a real war footing as a nation.
And like cdonath2 said above, that might be making Laz's case right there, but I'd argue that the sort of mobilization war with Iran would require would be a hard sell among Obama's base. Is Obama a good enough salesman to make that case? Maybe yes, maybe no. God knows he'd have the media to make his case for him, a la the USS Maine, but . . .
. . . I just don't know. In my heart of hearts, I can't see it. Maybe you guys are right. All I do know is that we're approaching crunch time: BIG TIME.
And yeah, if we're actually tangled in an all-out war with Persia in four months, there's no way Obama is not re-elected.
Romney is fierce when taking out conservatives. He has yet to go beyond polite disagreement when speaking about leftists like Obama.
Could be Romney will throw the election like McCain did if the vote appears to be too close...
It sounded haughty? I’m really sorry as I did not intend it to seem so.

I jumped to conclusions. My apologies. The scripture you quoted was spot on. God bless you, SumProVita. Not sure what the “bulk of God’s people” constitutes...10% maybe?... but I know He won’t forsake His beloved... the body of Christ. I hate to let go of my perception of the America I grew up in. And for now I refuse to. I love her. She has blessed me.
Great attitude there, kiddo. Sheesh.
Don’t assume every bot will vote.
Most want to send the president, who is the cause of their four years of pain, packing.
Four more years? Raise your hand if you have enjoyed the last four.
(Fooled us once with that hope and change stuff.)
i'm more worried about these numbers: add all the Fed/State/County/City/Town union members, add all other union members, add all those on some form of assistance-unemployment/welfare/food stamps/etc, add all the regular RATS then add in all the ILLEGAL ALIENS... i'm afraid that adds up to more than we can field for the election
Still not an excuse to flush a perfectly good nation.
I will fight against romney as much as I fight against obama.
As one of your 27 satisfied customers....I’d like to say to all....
PRAY FOR AMERICA
DAILY
LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
because it does
The worse things get for regular folks who may have voted O in '08, all the more manufactured votes O'12 are going to have to stuff into the ballet boxes.
The key will be for Conservatives to put down the tear-filled beer and, however reluctantly, pull the lever for what appears to be Romney's to lose.
