Hey FReeper's. I HATE to admit it,but I am TRULY becoming concerned about the election. I hate to sound negative, and I TRULY don't listen to the polls (with the exception of Rasmussen),but I am starting to get the sinking feeling, that we are SUNK, and that Obama is going to get re-elected, no matter HOW WELL, Mitt does on Wednesday night!
I TRULY think that there are more people, that are idiots and Kool Aid drinkers, then there are informed,rational, intelligent people (like those found here at FR), in our GREAT COUNTRY.
Am I off base here, or am I just starting to cave from being bombarded by all sides with Poll info,political commentators, and such?
Is there anyone else, that is starting to feel the same way as me?

Yeah... we’re out numbered.
I agree with you, but I do believe that Free Republic is a place to safely bitch and complain as it most likely will not convince others to change their vote. The majority here, myself included, will vote for Romney. It is just a nice place to complain as I would not dare do so in public for fear that some undecided would hear me and vote for Obama.
I'm more concerned with what will happen should Obama lose. Riots...[snip]...Since Obama will still be president, there will be nothing stopping him from declaring martial law and nullifying the election.I beg to disagree. I think the "Martial Law" scenario in the USA in modern times is only possible in very limited locales (think Katrina and NOLA). A general martial-law scenario covering the US as a whole would never happen. Local Law Enforcement in likely 95%+ of the country would tell the feds to get stuffed because:
Even the military (as large as it is) would still be spread too thin over the entire country to have much of an effect *PRESUMING* the military would go along with it in the first place. Obama would need to have the loyalty of the military - enough to go along with such a blatant power-grab - and that alone is not believable.
So, I would put your fears of a general martial law to rest. About all Obama could do is attempt an Al Gore vote-challenge strategy to drag out the election and that only happens if the vote is virtually tied in a state(s) with enough electors to make a difference. Which, if you believe the polls, is more plausible.

LOL, FD.’

Satan may have been laughing in ‘08 but the stupidity of half of the American people is where the blame lies.
And I’m embarrassed to be a woman when I see the way a good percentage of my sex behaves.
I believe in God but He can’t stop humans from making mistakes. So unless we take this situation into our own hands and use the power of WE THE PEOPLE, we may be blindsided on Nov. 6.
The Civil War and the election of 1864 answers that question!
Yes, you can.
Oh, I’m sure there would be armed resistance, but I’m also sure Obama and his handlers will try. Under this administration, the Constitution has become worthless. He has violated the Constitution numerous times, and neither Congress nor the Supremes have had any inclination to stop him.
And we have gone soft. Our military won’t offer resistance now that it is infested with gays and the implementation of political correctness and what not. Civilians are being lulled with government programs (eg, free cell phones), together with an education system that indoctrinates the very young to think that Obama is a hero and that government owes them everything. I just don’t know how many people are willing or able to defend this once great nation from tyranny.
There are an estimated 90 million gun owners in the United States. If the unthinkable happened, it's a certainty that at minimum, 3% of them would not hesitate to exercise their 2nd Amendment right as a last resort against a tyranny which seeks to overtly enslave them.
That's nearly 3 million armed and highly determined citizens who would fight to the death to secure their liberty. It's also the largest armed force on the planet, and easily dwarfs the combined forces of the US military.
Why 3%? That's the estimated percentage of American colonists who actually stood and fired at the British in the American Revolution (although a full third supported the revolution). Given the times we live in today, that percentage might be even higher.
Yes. It does us no good to have heads in the sand. I think right now that Obama will win unless we somehow get through to the many apolitical Americans that suck from the media teat.
He got zotted, he is never to make his 2016 visit.
Yeah, I saw he got the zot, but he'll be back with another name in 2016. They always do.
