The very astute Mark Steyn has another excellant and moderately humorous piece in the National Review. I humbly recommend it. Steyn always delivers even if he has to grab us and shake us til we wake up. His observations are usually right on target and today he serves up some cold hard reality.

IMHO, this is the most frustrating, disappointing and truly frightening election I can ever remember. So much is at stake and we’re stuck with a default candidate that most of us didn’t want and don’t like and one who seems determined to prove that we’re right about him.

I don’t put much stock in polls because I know they are so slanted but we cannot survive an Obama presidency. It will be hard enough to overcome a McCain presidency. Rush said earlier this week its clear that we’re going to have to drag McCain across the finish line then deal with whatever happens.

Steyn points out....

” The Republican candidate’s tragedy in this election is that he’s chosen to fight on Obama turf, to share so many of his assumptions. At a McCain rally in Wisconsin, a fellow in the crowd announced he was mad as hell and got a standing ovation. What was he mad about? Obama, Pelosi, and “the socialists taking over our country.” McCain listened politely and then pledged to get back to Washington to reach across the aisle to work on some gargantuan bipartisan cure-all. Not the answer that chap wanted to hear, I’ll wager.”

If the more frightening polls are correct, America is about to elect the most left-wing government in history: an Obama Oval Office, a Pelosi House of Representatives, a filibuster-proof Senate and a year or two down the road maybe three new Supreme Court justices. It would be a transformational Administration that would start building (in Michelle Obama’s words) “the world as it should be.” That big empty hole in the heart of the Obama logo will not stay blank for long.”

He forgot to include statehood for DC, which will mean two more democrat senators and very likely a permanent democrat majority.

We can’t let that happen. I am not willing to concede that Obama is building an insurmountable lead. It ain't over til its over. Nor am I willing to turn this country over to radical, left-wing extremists who tried to destroy this country once before in the 60s. Back then they dressed in denim, today its Brooks Brothers. Their methods may have changed, they’re a little older, smoother and a little better groomed but their goal is still the same. We will not recognize our country if they succeed this time. We're blessed to have upwards of a million men and women who have volunteered to serve in distant lands to keep the world safe and free. They're now counting on us to step up and do our part here at home to keep the freedoms they've sacrificed so much to maintain.

Well, the whole sorry mess is just very disheartening...a picture of just how far this country has managed to descend on the downward spiral.

They should have started confronting this voter fraud that is so rampant a long time ago. Conservatives are going to have to vote in the largest numbers ever seen imho. Even then, how do you know if your vote will not be cancelled? It’s terrible. Obama and Co. are vicious criminals and they will stop at nothing. Conservatives have to learn to FIGHT!! CO
