Imagine if Sen. Barack Obama loses the presidential election by one vote

Then I would imagine it was a good thing I went and voted for McCain.

I’ll take it.

But I’d prefer by 1,000,000,000.

What if the Socialist thug wins by about the same amount of questionable votes/voters that Acorn, and other left-wing groups, registered, a staggering 200 THOUSAND in Ohio alone?

Should WE Conservatives and Republicans,and others who put COUNTRY FIRST, and who are civilized, and are normally too busy working and raising our families to engage in such activities, RIOT then?

Maybe we should.

I lived through the riots in LA after Rodney King so I imagine I’ll live through them here in my sleepy suburban Kansas city.

Coming soon to your neighborhood theater, "The Desperados" starring Barack Obama, Michelle Mahbelle and a cast of panicked millions.

“The video explains that police take the non-voter into protective custody, it shows Obama supporters letting loose with bleeped invective”

Wow! The Obama thuggocracy revealed! Is this an implied threat of violence? If someone tells me “Well, you can walk down the sidewalk in front of my house, but I can’t promise to be able to restrain myself from punching you in the nose”
isn’t that assault?

What’s revealing is the narcissism and immaturity implicit in this entire line of reasoning. Were the imagined hypothetical to transpire, it would imply that roughly equivalent numbers of voters had voted for McCain and Obama, but that because the “other guy” won, the barely outnumbered (and apparently very petulant) losers feel entitled to vent their rage on a hapless citizen who did nothing more than exercise their freedom as an American not to vote if that’s the way they feel. We can infer from this that American liberties will be in jeopardy unless we vote the “correct” way.

Of course, the imagined hypothetical CANNOT transpire as depicted. Even if the electoral-vote-deciding state was lost be 1 vote, there would never be a single identifiable non-voter responsible for this outcome. Unless every single eligible adult in that state is registered and every single one of them (save one) cast a vote, there would always be hundreds of thousands or millions of “non-voters” to blame for Obama’s loss. Thus, the only people who could be swayed by such an ad would have to be incredibly stupid or ridiculously paranoid. I guess we can infer that the Democrats have enough such individuals within their ranks to merit this mindless approach to voter motivation.

Did the Democrats not learn anything from SoreLoserman? Whatever happened to the idea of being gracious in defeat, shaking the hand of the opponent who beat you and wishing them good luck?

There's already people out there who are prepared to riot no matter what the outcome is.

These bottom-feeding scumsuckers derive a sick, perverted pleasure out of destroying someone else’s property, and an election is as good an excuse as any for them.

This is on a par with a bunch of kids having a candlelight vigil to protest the carbon pollution of our planet.

“For many, shock soon turned to outrage as The New York Times revealed the identity of the particular non-voter responsible for Obama’s loss,” the “anchorman” says, as the non-voter’s name appears in font on the “TV screen.”

Looking for volunteers?

Imagine if Obama wins by one vote, and you didn't make it to the voting booth to vote against him...!

If he loses by 1 vote, you can be sure that the Left will find two more Obama votes that didn’t get counted. They will do whatever it takes to win.

Posting “Voting Illegally is a Felony” signs outside of polling places might help prevent that close a race!

How exactly would anyone know that you had intended to vote for Hussein and didn’t get to the polls to do so? This soulnds like the Truth Squad that scared so many in MO. But then I guess they couldn’t treat such person any worse than they treated Joe The Plumber!

The whole premise of this thing reminds me of a scene from Weird Al Yankovic's movie UHF, where the janitor (played by Michael Richards) comes out with this manic gem:

Hey, George. You know, I was just wondering... like, like, if you were traveling through outer space. I mean like going real fast like the speed of light you know, and all of a sudden you started screaming... you think that your brain would blow up?

Yeah, the neo-commies are trying to intimidate us with threats of civil chaos. Not that I feel all that threatened, since I'm clinging to my guns and religion, and Ohio just passed the Castle Doctrine law.

However, thinking ahead to "just-in-case scenarios"... if Obama does win, maybe it will spur another bull market in firearms, like Clinton's election did. Might be a good place to put some money.

Smith and Wesson's going for $1.90 right now, might be a great buying opportunity.

‘Imagine If Obama Loses By One Vote, Liberals Warn’

I’ll take it. It’s still a majority vote, and this is a democracy.. right?
