Only one thing missing in your theory - Obama doesn't care. He will use any means at his disposal - up to fomenting violence - to get his way.

He has shown us very clearly that, other than fooling enough voters to gain a second term, he does not care what we think of him, and in fact he hates our guts.

Under no circumstances should we risk him winning a second term.

Mine was more of a strategy, with the theory explained; you present no strategy and indeed, no theory either! And there is only one thing missing in your (non)theory: If Obama was that powerful, why hasn't he done those things already to get his way?

You are either a Romney shill posing as a sincerely conflicted conservative and using Boogie Man Will Getcha scare tactics, or you are hysterical and panicked, actually believing in the Obama the Great and Powerful Oz.

Here is a long established fact of human nature: people make very bad decisions when they make them from a place of hysteria and panic. That is what ABO is, and it is a bad strategy.

Cooler thinking concludes: Vote for a plurality.

Under no circumstances should we risk him winning a second term....

.... says blind fear and cowardice, which thinks sanctioning and consenting to a majority endorsement of making the Republican party equally liberal and statist to the Democrat, isn't something equally dangerously risky.
