Nahhhhh!

Conservative interest in the presidential election hit “stratospheric levels” following last week’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare, noted pollster and author Scott Rasmussen tells Newsmax.TV.
“All that did was energize conservatives,” declared Rasmussen in an exclusive interview on Monday. “The conservative interest in the election was already much higher than that of moderates and liberals. It went up to really stratospheric levels right after the ruling. We don’t know if that will continue or if it’s just a temporary response to the news cycle.”

I hope you are well, my FRiend.
Freepmail me whenever you want to rid yourself of that old jeep.
Well put.
I am in the latter category. Will NOT pull a lever for Romney. But I appreciate the recognition that this is a decision of conscience - as is yours.

Let’s give the Chief Justice credit. He’s accomplished something that hasn’t been done since the 1860’s: he’s shifted the idea of secession from the fringe to the mainstream.
Thanks, Nazi “We Have to Pass it So We Know What’s In It” Peelousy. She knew all along every single thing in this wretched piece of garbage. This little factoid about chip implanting needs to go viral. There’s no way that a Christian can allow it to happen to himself/herself. Between this and refusing to pay for other people’s abortions, I guess I’d better get used to the idea of going to jail. And it will happen probably sooner rather than later.
What’s sad, and scary, is almost half of the people polled still worship obama and will vote for him again. When I think of what the founders of this country were up against, it makes me admire them even more. A third neutral, a third with the Brits, leaving only a third to fight the battles. So, I guess we’re a little better off than they were.
I’m wondering how much effect to suppress the vote of Obama opposition this righteous ‘no Milt no way’ mantra will have. It is as if some want the nation to collapse ‘to teach the GOPe a lesson this time.’ Of course, if little barry bastard commie gets four more years, there isn’t likely to be any next time for any of US, so I reckon these tantrum troops will really get the last word, eh?
Angry? Wait t’ill we are utterly ashamed and embarassed to be associated with these kinds of people and laws... Then that will be really pathetic.
I am amazed that the like of Romney have the sort of stupid communist gullible immaturity to entertain any kind of Obamacare cousin or sibling. The arguments are inane and unacceptable.
It’s the language, and not just about the bad or good guy. Any good guy out there influenced by such language is liable to get confused and do further horror.
THE most importan races now are the house and senate.
We MUST get over the 60 votes to shut down the left wing judges and purge the unelected.
We also have to keep an eye on who is lobbying whom.
Which democrat is still lurking the halls as a lobyist?
Sorry, but I beg to differ on some of these. I have bum knees from military service and have had surgery on them. I have had two back operations and now have hip problems, all military related (thus job related). My brother ran up and down a Goodyear tire factory floor for nearly 38 years. He has lost his hearing from all the noise in that place and they said the massive noise did not destroy his hearing. And, he had to have a hip replaced because of the wear and tear from his job. So, choosing all those is wrong. Overweight, etc. Sure. But then you cannot always call diabetes part of overweight. I know people who are slim and have diabetes.
People ought to be boiling mad.
ObamaCare was bad enough, but now Roberts and the four liberals have held that Congress may, in direct contravention of the text of the Constitution, impose a DIRECT TAX on any group of people they don’t like, in particular, people who don’t carry health insurance.
How about a tax on people who HAVEN’T purchased government bonds in their retirement accounts? Obama could push more debt out the door.
How about a tax on people on who HAVEN’T purchased Obama’s (or is it Ayers’?) book? Surely the government has an interest in combating societal racism by seeing to it that everyone has Zero’s book.
How about a tax on people who don’t send their kids to the government schools? That should put the nail in the coffin of home-schooling.
All of these should be blatantly unconstitutional, but they’re not thanks to Roberts.
If it is your opinion that giving the Federal government the power to tax whatever they want, however much they want for whatever reason they want until a more intelligent Chief Justice helps overturn said ruling is 'playing chess at a high level', then perhaps you play using only the rooks.
Did you know-— Regarding Obama Care -— this “TAX” has a provision requiring all persons have a chip implanted to make it possible to access all your medical records and history for the supposed purpose of “Health Care.” Here’s the RFID in Obama care:
Page 1014, line 8 through page 1017

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any way that someone can do a copy n paste for the exact part that says RFID chip inserted ?
It is easy to say it now, wait until they are in the voting booth and really have to make the choice. Mitt will win in a landslide and the congress is the key.
Pray for America
>> America is dead.
It must completely suck to feel that way.
Are we cut from the same clothe of the Founders Fathers or not? A fraction of their conviction should be enough to dispel that kind of pessimism.
Demoralization is weapon of the enemy. Don’t get it, and don’t spread it!
Anger won’t change anything, only action will.
And penalties. If citizens insisted that there are penalties for these people who steal our constitutional government from us, then they may not be so eager to harm our way of life.
Idiot troll.
Nahhhhh!
same cloth ...
people may not like it but voting third party is still a complete vote for obama.
Democrats work real hard to have suckers vote for third party nobodies to dilute the conservative vote.
It works must better when the MSM is peeing in their pants with conservatives voting as a juggernaught.
As much as I hate to even think this, a vote for a third party will be a vote for "O-Say-Can-You-Say-SOCIALIST"
I was in exactly your position mentally about a month ago. I wasn’t going to vote for this RINO either. It wasn’t commiecare that turned me, but I’m turned right with you. More than ever now. I’m down right FURIOUS!
I’m not referring to heroes like you, RA. Thank you for your service.
My deep seated hatred of oblabla, this administration and most politicians could not go any further without consuming me.
Anger is and insufficient word in these times. I am Seething mad from morning when I wake up until I collapse somewhere around midnight from exhaustion.
The amount of regulations and threats we have to deal with to stay in business are beyond the pale and yet more are heaped on.
I remember a much gentler time when weeks would go by and we would not hear from Washington. Things were more-or-less steady. Now there are daily proclamations that affect each of us in some new and threatening way. We are spinning out of control. Our lives are not peaceful nor our own at all anymore.
We are NOT FREE anymore.
Don’t be stupid.
Hi Nachum,
I know you maintain a ping list and I was hoping you could add me please. Thanks.
Good article, thanks for posting.
I refuse to post my anger.
I refuse to show any fear.
I have no idea what the future holds.
But I do know this, my heart has filled with solemn mission at hand, when I am called I will act.
And last but not least my ears are covered from the propaganda spin of who is wrong and who is right, I already know.
Let my silence be a concern to those who deem in their minds to be my superior masters, I worship no political demigod.
And your idea of going to war is to let Obama win so he can have four more years as a lame duck to really work his magic.
I was the same way. I didn’t want Romney. He more than likely isn’t the answer but he is the vehicle to fire that son of a b$tch in the White house.
This way, if anything, we can vote away his damn plane and 4 million dollar vacations.
Wish I had your faith in what Roberts was supposedly trying to do. At first I thought it was a chess game, too, but then thought that was being entirely too optimistic.
Every fool I meet who supports this health care has no concept what so ever about what they are in for and since living here and understanding America, how it was fonded and the constitution then I can safely say that many in fact most are complete dumb stupid thick idiots .
You speak only the truth!
I refused to vote for Romney in the primaries, but will vote for him in the general.
All down ballots will be honest conservatives!
It’s reality, simple reality.
It doesn’t matter at all how I feel about it, or anyone else for that matter.
And your idea of going to war is to vote for Romney. Wow.
_______________________________
We have to start somewhere and right now, it’s Obama or Romney. What else do you want people to do? A vote for Gary Johnson or Ron Paul isn’t going to help anything.
At least if we can replace Obama, it’s a step in the right direction. Yes, we need to work on winning the Senate and keeping the House too but Obama needs to go.
I’m curious why people accept an edict from a Supreme Court jesters who violated their oaths, re-wrote law in clear violation of the Consitution. Then it’s claimed as “well it’s the law” or “it’s Constitutional.”
Why is it Constitutional? Because they say it is? So if they said no more free speech at any Presidential speaking event you obey? No you don’t. And America doesn’t tax you because you simply exist. A mandated tax on everyone for not buying something is contrary to everything this country was founded on. There is no compromise on this issue. It needs to be met with defiance, ridicule and resistance, and it will be, when people get their wind back from the surprised swift kick to the stomach after the court’s ruling. The Constitution Declaration of Independance require anyone who loves liberty to resist this tyranny.
And people better understand that conflict, actual human toll and bloodshed are now inevitable. The Rubicon has been crossed. Doesn’t matter if it’s an event that happens soon for civil disobedience or years from now when guns are banned for the public welfare because of health costs. Tyranny will now be even more fast-tracked, this is all by design by these globalists, RINO’s, liberal fascists, commies, etc. They know what they are doing with their puppet Zero. And the drunk with power nutjobs who deem themselves gods are illusioned enough to do this ignoring 2 huge very bad realities from the get-go:
a) Over half the population of this country didn’t want Zerocare; b) they should have banned the 2nd Amendment when they had the chance.
Exactly. Make the Democrats pay FIRST this time.
Brilliant!
Not.
Perhaps he is every bit the scoundrel as many posters on FR and elsewhere are convinced. But I appreciate your delay in condemning what Roberts has done in this matter. We simply don’t know yet how this all plays out; but we will know for sure within a fairly short passage of time.
Thanks for your level-headed post.

Romney in 2009 was taking trips to the White Hut to help construct Zero-care. He’s on video stating he’s for mandated healthcare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6DrH6P9OC0&feature=player_embedded
Now the mantra is “vote for me, I’ll repeal it.” More political games when this is about THE RULE OF LAW. What is Romney’s healthcare plan? He won’t really talk about it. He won’t even call Zero out for the treasonous marxist corrupt slug he is.
Romney, the RINO boy favorite is a liar, another fraud, a globalist, and now instead of the muzzie cult allegiance like Zero, we get the mormon cult.
Put another name on the list.
People are way beyond “angry.” They feel that something terrible is happening to the country.
Our “news outlets” are absolutely disgusting. Anyone who believes they are “reporting the news” is under a very dangerous misapprehension. We can’t count on them to be anything but shills for Obama. Too bad we can’t count all the money they spend on the network news operations as direct contributions to the Obama campaign.
And I do not have a great deal of faith in the future of this country, unless a lot of people wake up, and fast! Some foreign press outlets get it. A “Kenyan-born” author, whose first book reads just like the prose of a known radical with a violent past and whose second book reads nothing like the first, just happens to “luck out” when both his primary and general election senate opponents are derailed by allegations contained in sealed, but leaked or otherwise obtained documents. The man has a murky background and past that are altered when circumstances require it, and no one in the media bats an eye. I didn’t attach a lot of importance to his grandmother dying (and his frantic trip out to her, in Hawaii) just before the election, and poo-pooed notions that Andrew Breitbart’s death was anything other than a heart attack. Mark Levin’s desire never to touch the constitutional issues surrounding Obama’s eligibility, even to explain them away, raised my suspicions though, but still not a lot.
But Justice Roberts’ apparent last-minute turn is more than enough to get me really, really worried! I can’t even write down the possibilities of what could take place before the election, especially if the economy, and Obama’s numbers, continue to go south.
I don’t even want to think about a second term for him right now.
Angry? People have no idea! But we have to realize that there are still a lot of people who believe that “the Republicans have been trying to block everything Obama wanted to do to help us,” “he saved us from a depression and is still cleaning up Bush’s mess” or “what’s wrong with guaranteed health care?” We have to get the facts out.
At this rate, I don’t even have confidence that America will have a fair election in November, or that Romney and the Republicans will listen to the will of the people even if they win in a landslide.
The “elites” are against the people who make this country work, and the former may have enough stupid, lazy and/or envious folks voting for them to cement their power.
Am I giving up? No. I will work to do my part. But I also realize that nations become corrupt and decadent. I am preparing myself and my family as best I can for future possibilities. We will either do what is necessary to restore America, or things will continue to spiral down. Either way, it will be painful. I am ashamed that so many Americans allowed the present “government” to damage, and possibly destroy, what our ancestors and military worked, bled, and died for.
We are in deeep trouble. I feel like there are no rules anymore. I hesitate to say this, but even the September 11 attacks, by an outside foreign force, was not as much of a threat to the foundation of our country as recent avents have been.
My family and my faith comfort me. I will do my best. But I may find it difficult to enjoy the 4th of July celebrations this year.
I believe that, in the end, God will remember the people who have been faithful, and visit upon the wicked what they have visited on others.
But we have to do our part. I am praying for wisdom and courage.
So, ‘Stratospheric Levels’ means that Washington is bracing for a barrage of harsh language, right?
I luv ya’ Mary! I was thinking the same here! But, sure want to know what Becker said! LOL!
“I’m gonna vote my conscience and go with Romney. I guess a lot of freepers will be voting their consciences too and going 3rd party.”
Well put.
I am in the latter category. Will NOT pull a lever for Romney. But I appreciate the recognition that this is a decision of conscience - as is yours.
Hank

So if Obama is reelected will you feel as if you helped that happen? Is that what you want?
People claiming to have to vote their conscience will help the dictator in chief get reelected and there’s no excuse for that. The worse Republican is better than Obama.
You said, "'playing chess at a high level', then perhaps you play using only the rooks."
IMHO - Roberts was playing Obamanopoly - (Not smart enough for chess).....and trying to cozy up to the the Guards at the "Jail" - that he knew we were all heading for:
Where did you get that idea?? From Faux news and bag-of-wind Oreilly??
Mark Levin and other legal scholars have explained in very great detail that the Commerce Clause HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED AT ALL.
We are all white-hot angry. Nothing upsets me more than Freepers assuming there is any good in what Robert's did. IT IS ALL BAD.
Levin explained that it will take many decades to reverse the precedent set by the evil Roberts.
Just on today's show, Mark Levin stated that Roberts tried to convince Kennedy to switch sides and vote 6-3 to utterly crush the Constitution The italics are almost a direct quote from Levin.
Again to repeat Roberts is an evil human being who's decision will cause untold misery to millions of Americans.
No one can teach the GOP anything for they are UNTEACHABLE! Instead of kicking POS LIBERAL romney to the curb - they DELIBERATED embraced him/evil. So don’t worry no one isn’t doing anything to teach them anything - they are a looong lost cause and evil to the core with the blood of America on their hands who FOUGHT for our Constitution and one nation under God. The GOP prefers one nation under evil.
They don’t represent our forefathers, PATRIOTS, like NEWT and Gov. Palin or all like conservatives.
