Yowza! Two or three months back I mentioned this right here on FR. My belief was, when the Dems knew Obama was in real trouble, they’d play the “possible unrest” card. I also thought it would be about 3 to 4 weeks before the election.
Anyone want me to pick some Lotto numbers? :)
IMHO if the election is close, the feral mobs will feel “the election was stolen” and things will get very ugly. The streets will be on fire. However, if Romney wins in a landslide victory that is uncontestable, there may be some outbreaks of sporadic vionence here and there but the liklihood of widespread riots would be decreased. Losing by a big margin tends to subdue the animal spirits.
What’s your take on those scenarios and the likely extent of “possible unrest”? Regards.
“...when the Dems knew Obama was in real trouble, they’d play the “possible unrest” card.”
Yes, I agree. This is the last card they will play. And we may see it sooner rather than later because it looks like they’ve got very little dirt on Romney.
What have they come up with so far? The dog story, the haircutting story (ridiculously put on the front page of the WaPo- that hurt the MSM more than Romney); the totally false accusations of not paying taxes and Romney’s own goal of the 47%.
I think I’ve forgotten one or two, but that’s because they are so forgettable.
I hope they do push the “there might be riots” meme, because all that is going to do is LOSE them even more white voters.
