I wonder if its possible that with enough evidence on all fronts of unethical, treasonous or other acts not forthcoming of a presidential candidate that there are powers or laws that essentially remove Obama from the elections?

Has it ever happened before, and what would happen then, does Biden become the presidential candidate and he would he then do an emergency VP nomination?

Or has it gone so far and too close to voting that it cannot be done, would America vote for and elect a person who has shown all aspects of being anti-American?

It does appear to be that enough of the truth has finally gotten past the MSM censors that most of America has become “angry” and would Americans protest if Obama bought his way into the Whitehouse, could America force him to step down soon thereafter?

Or will Americans just go on with their daily lives because they think they have no voice or power because they are “commoners”?

I wonder.

We cannot afford to be in opposition the way the Democrats have been towards Bush, angry and unhinged. That is not the way back to power.

It seemed to work for the Democrats.

Tell you what? When I want perspective from an Obama supporter like you, I’ll ask for it, ok?

I actually agree with you. Atwater was one of the best consultants. I enjoyed his biography and some of the stories in there. My point is that it’s too late in this election to totally play that card and make it work.

I don't think so: it's never too late for dirt to stick. Remember the Bush-Irangate thing? The Weinberger indictment? This stuff has maximum impact later in the campaign. Many think Jeremiah Wright was "outed" on purpose, early, so as not to hurt Obama.

So, no. It's never too late to go negative. If it was, Obama wouldn't be flooding the airwaves with negative ads himself.

SCrew you and Frum. I’ll treat Obama just like the left treated Bush if he is elected POTUS.

With all due respect, LS, we took the White House in 1968. Richard Nixon offered a substantive critique of Lyndon Johnson's misgovernment of the country. He did so in an atmosphere in which you had three TV networks and a control of the Commanding Heights of the news media by the New York Times.

Newt Gingrich played right into Bill Clinton's hands when he refused to find a way to keep the Government running. It was an awful thing to watch, even though Gingrich was in the right.

Your last point is substantive: when you want to critique an Obama Administration, you must do so on points of economics and policy. Your point that Obama wants to use the tax code as a means to steal money from the producers to give to the Looters is the whole point of my argument and must be driven home. We don't disagree.

Best,

Chris

Yup. I’ve joined the NRA (re-joined it after letting my membership lapse a few years back), I probably join the ACU, I will NOT bow my knee to Hussein, and I will do my best to divert income away from anything that will be taxable.

What breaks my heart is how the federal judiciary will be changed. I only hope the few conservatives left in government will have some BALLS in order to defeat some of Hussein’s objectives.

The Republic may be in real danger here—I am glad to know that, as much as I love my country, my real treasure is not here on Earth.

God is sovereign, and His purpose will be achieved even if Hussein assumes power.

"Shut up Frum! McCain cannot “win” this election, he must make Obama lose."

Right! I see Obama whipping up blacks into a rage like my dad whipped up wild dogs into a rage in a truck to be released on NAZIs in towns of Germany during WW2. That dangerous idea got him promoted to e-5.

We'll, we're not dogs or NAZIs.

If he wants sectarian violence, he'll get it. Hispanics from SA will join the Anglos (considered the same) + Koreans, Indians, Viets, Japans, etc. that have a life invested here.

Just keep it up, Obama. Just keep it up.

I've been on the outskirts of 3 riots and know what will happen.
