Well the GOP did the exact same thing for the past eight years which is why Obama is such a threat. Bush loyalist would not listen to reason of Constitutional restraint the founders placed on the office of POTUS and tried to make him our king or rather an out of order GOP majority in congress did. Anyone raising objection was immediately given you are either for us or the terrorist spewage as an answer.
The gutting of the Constitution {or That Damned pice of paper as one man calls it} and abuses of Executive Branch Powers began under Lincoln who in effect abolished States Rights triggering a Civil War in doing so. The Constitution lost. Next in the 1930's the nation falls into economic meyhem created by greed. Along comes Mr Roosevelt who nearly became the crowned king of the United States. The man started us on the path to socialism and is credited {wrongfully so} for ending The Great Depression via the New Deal. WW2 ended the Great Depression not FDR.
Next in line was a Democrat from Texas who was sworn in as POTUS as a result of JFK's death in office. He continued and expanded FDR's agenda with The Great Society. TGS put many a nail in the coffin of what was once family values telling men the government would support their families for them while they fathered as many children in a out of wedlock as possible with zero accountability. Next came Carter with the Department of Education.
Not to be outdone the Republican Party had their own man with a plan to help create Great Society Part 2 which was more of the same. No Child Left Behind & Faith Based Programs are two areas the FED has no business being there. Folks, there were many of us who warned that the expansion of government under Bush would come with a very heavy price but nobody wanted to hear it as long as a Republicican was in office. Well if he wins next week Obama will dictate your churches doctrine and sermons that is if it was foolish enough to take a cent of Caesars money under Faith Based Programs. The wiswer churches saw it for what it was and said NO. Next to consider is more bad precedents set by Bush. The Patriot Act, The Department of Homeland Security, the governments department of whoever in government feels a need databases wanting among other things yur health records and yes even your surfing habits. Obama will have them and the GOP will be the one who set the precedents for it. Are you listening to us now? If not then when?
Obama if elected will be a crisis because government overstepped it's Constitutional authority especially in the past 8 years all in the name of the War on Terror. Curse the DEMs all you wish but almost not one single thing mentioned was the work of the DEMs but rather the Majority GOP. What were you thinking Republicans? Did you think that when the DEM's got back in they would not have their turn at it also? Many Conservatives citizens and elected sounded this alarm only to be labeled wingnuts, loons, fringes, and even traitors, for daring to disagree with the expansions of power Bush was promoting.
Thomas Jefferson said it best in his day and it's still true today. "That government is best which governs least". Four years of Obama and maybe even the Neocon Fad talking heads everyone adores will even be saying it. Yes even one of them bares some blame for the Obama mess. Yet some think a man or woman who by conscience decides to voted their convictions for a third party will destroy the nation?
If McCain wins we are still in very deep trouble as the Liberal path the GOP has been on will continue unchecked making it easier for the DEMs to put one even far worse than Obama in office. At best McCain will be a lighter version of Obama's agenda but the same general direction we've been on since 1989. When the GOP moves center or left of center the Democratic Party reacts and moves even further left reslting this time in Obama. Wake up Republicans you are your own worse enemy as your policies destroy you from within. Had the GOP abided by working within in the Constitution and actually upholding it since taking over congress in 1994 Obama even if elected would not have never been a serious threat nor would anyone else.

I’m a registered Independent who supports Sarah Palin. Unless she is voted in, she slides into obsurity. If she wins, every one of us sends money to the GOP FOR her. Written plainly on the check.
Now is not the time to teach lessons (as a dear FRiend of mine stated last night) Now is the time to act to get an actual conservative in the White House.
We should be saying, four years of McCain isn’t going to be all that bad.
Sarah changed his mind on drilling, what else can she do? We’ll never know if we don’t get her in.
You can state it all you want, any way you want, but past is past and the big 0 will take this country down the tubes for sure. McCain/Palin may not. I’ll take my chances with the second, rather than pick the sure thing on my own self-righteousness.
It's incredible. You can reason all you want - these people are pure emotion, pick up on two or three disconnected words, and go off like a rocket.
The government schools, Hollywood, the MSM and our churches have done this to us. It's frustrating, and it's scary, but I estimate that we are at least 20% of the population, my friend, and we will at least be a resistance to reckon with, and I suspect we will prevail completely in getting our nation back, one way or another.
