Coming?

“A possible Barack Obama Presidency along with a probable “dominant leftist majority” of both Democrats and Republicans in Congress in both the House and Senate will truly destroy the entire U.S. as a country!”

It’s not going to happen.

Both "maverick", "socialistic" McCain and "Marxist" Obama are not conservatives anyways!

OMG. You have seen the light!

"hit it out of the park"

Frankly I am not sure he even made it to the park, much less get a hit.

Take care of ourselves and our families, and when it gets too unbearable, leave for a freer land.

The problem that most socialist nations face is a brain drain and a loss in work ethic. Sooner or later, not being rewarded for your efforts and talents gets old. The key is to get out before they start building walls to keep you in.

The Presidency of one Barack Hussein Obama.

With The Patriot Act of George W. Bush at his fingertips.

Interesting days, weeks and years ahead for conservatives and patriots.

Stock up, folks.

We start a new country. Let the libs have everything west of the Rockies and east of the Appalachians.

Start over with the US constitution as it was in 1787.

i’m very disappointed in the finance community.

you’d think that there would be more integrity.

yes, i know all about fanny and freddy and jim johnson, franklin raines, barney frank, jamie gorelick, etc.

if obamao’s elected, then we’re in for cycle 4 of progressivism.

1 was woodrow wilson

2 was fdr

McCain did not have to hit it ‘out of the park’. The polls are already moving in his direction in recent days. He just has to get the people back focused. The economic movement was a ‘Democrat’ bounce not unlike the 6 point swing McCain got after his convention. It disrupted McCain’s campaign narrative badly. There is still time. Support is strong for both sides, Obama probably has a small lead now, but so did Kerry in 2004. Bush has a lead in 2000 and it closed in the final week.

The ‘hit of the park’ requirement for McCain tonight was just conventional media wisdom. The same people that said Giuliani and Hillary would be the ones debating this fall.

All socialism is long term. Name one country that, after the establishment of socialism, went back to a capitalist society. Once government has seized all power it will never relinquish it or return it to the people.

There will in fact be a TREMENDOUS brain drain out of the USA in my opinion, of skilled/smart hard working people and tax refugees I predict, people making over $70,000 or $100,000 as a couple, trying to get out of the United States going Socialist. 20 Million Illegals will already have been amnestied, citizen-ized, registered to vote and Democrat Party-ized....and many of them bought off by putting the on the federal and state dole...the Democrat Iron Rule will be complete with these massive vote banks.

But the Obama IRS will track such brain-drainers down to the four corners of the earth, the Democrat Congress will make severe penalties for trying to escape the Socialist States of America--they have already starting putting up those Economic Berlin Walls in the Congress in the last few months--it will get worse under Obama.

—— what if McCain is taken ill before Nov 4th ???
I’m really concerned, he did not appear well to me tonight.
Would the election be postphoned ???
Man, America has a lot of stuff on her plate right now.
People are scared, we’ve never lived thru such times ... the economy, this election, these zombies, I’m getting freaked out ... can’t we keep GWB until things settle down??

$300 billion to just forgive mortgage debt has to rank among dumbest, most socialistic ideas of all time. Even Obama wouldn’t dare to propose that.

Last week’s bailout bill was just to invest in mortgage debt (hopefully at a profit for the government, eventually). Not to buy it and forgive it. Big difference.

Like I said elsewhere, I should call up Chase Mortgage and let them know that McCain will be reducing my principal balance by 20% once he is elected. Of course I won’t be able to pay other 80% as my taxes will be through the roof to pay off mortgages of all the illegal immigrants with subprime mortgages, etc.
