America's being ravaged by four years of an Obama presidency would surely guarantee another GOP landslide.

At what cost?

I suggest you read the article, FRiend.

Yeah but the damage will have been done. Plus, if they can give amnesty to that many illegals then he is securing votes for the democrats for generations to come.

Yea, 2006 worked so well for us. You “let’s teach em” Conservatives really showed ‘em.”

“America’s being ravaged by four years of an Obama presidency would surely guarantee another GOP landslide.....”

That is not what will happen,

15 million new citizens plus millions more new government workers will insure that the GOP WILL NO win another national election for a very long time.

This is a desperate struggle in which I have thrown all the available financial and time resources that I am able to put together.

The conservative pundits who are trying to find a silver lining in an Obama victory are whistling past the graveyard.

Heard that all over DC right before and for a good while after the 1992 election.

It turned out to be half right. We got the Congress back in 1994, but were unable to evict Clinton in 1996. Had it not been for Clinton's personal scandals, Gore would have been elected to his third term in 2000.

From January 1993 until election night 1994 the GOP was blessed with a number of advantages. The Dems didn't get a supermajority in the Senate, which put real teeth into Phil Gramm's "Over my cold, dead, political body" speech. We had a true movement visionary and architect in Newt Gingrich, and a VERY effective Party leader who could make it happen in Haley Barbour.

The GOP was also helped by the failings of its opponants. Clinton-Mitchell-Foley over-reached and took the nation down a path other than what they'd promised. But the real reason for the swing of the House back to the GOP was Dan Rostenkowski and the check kiting scandal. The public can be somewhat forgiving on public policy failings ... but are incredibly hard when it comes to scandal (which the GOP learned in 2006).

My perspective is that the retaking of Congress in the mid-1990s was the result of a perfect storm, where all the stars aligned and allowed maximum return from an enormous amount of effort and hard work. My concern with the proposition that an Obama presidency will result in a sea change back to the GOP is that we are unlikely to see such a storm/alignment in the next several years. I don't see strong leadership on the GOP side, I don't think that the Dems are going to make the same mistakes they did back then, and even if they do I have little confidence that the new media will be able to overcome the reporting of the in-the-tank old.

Normally I would agree like what happened in 1994 but the plans they have we may have a hard time winning elections from this point on.

You’re missing the point.

Even if Republicans won in 2012, the damage done by Obama and his LIBERAL SUPERMAJORITY would be PERMANENT and DEVASTATING.

LBJ was in office a little more than 4 years. But with his LIBERAL SUPERMAJORITY, he created and imposed the ENTIRE WELFARE STATE that is crippling our country today.

And guess what? That welfare state will NEVER be undone. The best we can hope for is to “reform” it here and there. If Obama and his LIBERAL SUPERMAJORITY get the chance to enlarge and deepen that welfare state, it also will NEVER be undone.

NOTHING is worth giving Obama and his LIBERAL SUPERMAJORITY the chance to inflict their permanent and devastating damage.

Not even Ronald Reagan significantly beat back LBJ’s welfare state.

FDR . . . LBJ . . . Obama . . . Marx.

Don’t go there, America.
