Here’s a thought that’s crossed my mind - what would happen, given that Obama is elected, were someone to assasinate him? I believe that this would result in an internal war in this country that would destroy our nation. Could there be forces out there that want that very thing? Forces that are working extremely hard to get this man elected just so that scenereo can unfold? Where is all of his campaign contributions coming from? Who helped this nobody from Chicago, from Hawaii, from Indonesia (who was raised in a very poor environment and could not afford the Harvard education - or the private K-12 education that this man had - rise to where he is today? Why is noone asking these questions about this man and where he came from? Who is the power behind him, and what is the intent of putting this man in the highest office in the world? I don’t know about other’s, but the future frightens me.

I agree with you on the issues, but we have to ask why our candidates did not make it during the primaries. For me there really wasn’t a complete conservative candidate in the race. Why? Because he was destroyed by the MSM. Who? George Allen.

I think that your scenario is just a tad overboard. I think the real reason Obama has "risen" to the top is that his quality to be easily bought was recognized early. He has been bought and paid for and will perform on command. A very small investment for potential very large return on that investment.

Every single one of your posts on this forum lately is ant-McCain and you have stated that you are NOT voting for him.

Do the rest of us a favor, GO AWAY until after the election, we’ll win without your vote and without you trolling here to depress the conservative vote. I don’t care who you are you are trolling dissent.

Well, yesterday it may have been a few ilegals in your town, but if its tomorrobama it WILL BE TERRORISTs IN YOUR AND MY BACK YARD AND NO NATIONAL DEFENSE WILL DO A THING ABOUT IT AT HOME OR ABROAD. You decide for your yard but do not impose YOUR LETHARGY on mine. Commit to America (dare I say, coward) or loose your FREEDOM.

Perhaps it’s overboard. But, I can’t discount the possibility that there are people in the world who are devious enough to either be pulling his strings to these ends, or would make an attempt on his life to try and ignite a firestorm in this country even if they have nothing to do with his campaign. If someone like Bin Laden wanted to really hurt this country, taking out Obama if he’s elected could do it.

Impressions on tonight

Obama reinforced his image as an elitist, arrogant empty suit. He masterfully dodged displaying anything about himself or what he will actually do (with the help of Brokaw and McCain). His rudeness and lack of respect for the rules were the only things that came through for him.

McCain did not hurt himself but also didn't do anything to help himself. His pandering to the middle and middle-left was painfully obvious and most likely didn't help to sway too many undecideds.

McCain won the battle but will lose the war unless he and the RNC can get Obamas' character front and center with the undecideds in the last couple of weeks.

No, I’m afraid the people who don’t realize what a mess this economy is in are stuck on stupid. When the houseing market died it started the long slide we are experienceing. Until it’s stabilized we are in deep poop... and it will cost us all a lot more than $300 billion.

I’m still mulling around in my mind how or why they didn’t mention it, however. Maybe Hannity did on H and C.

Some people think that conservative principles are an all or nothing deal. Here in Canada we also have an election and our Prime Minister, who is conservative, is taking flak from conservative purists for some of his middle of the road policies.But without those he just cannot get into power to implement any conservative policies that will improve things and get a general consensus of the people behind him to keep moving the conservative agenda forward. I see the race in the US in the same way: McCain is not the best conservative but he is fighting the extreme left and right now all we (all conservatives) can hope for is that he holds the ground.Sarah Palin is in the rear for the next offensive (2012?) but for that to happen Mccain has to hold.
May God bless both our countries with conservative governments.

The reason Prez Bush told people to "go shopping" and to "fly" after 9-11 was so that Americans wouldn't cower at home, afraid to enjoy our freedoms (which AQ loathes).

Bush's remarks were about going about our normal lives.
