I just finished reading a biography of Cicero, and it has some nasty parallels to the scenario you describe.
When Marc Antony and Octavian got together with their respective armies and formed the Second Triumvirate, they didn't play -- they just started making a list, took 'em three days, and then they started "proscribing" people, i.e. issuing death lists with bounties for any person who could bring them proof of death of a proscribed individual. The individuals' property was confiscated for their political slush fund they paid their troops from, and Cicero was one of the proscribed, as were Brutus, Cassius, and all the Liberators who'd killed Caesar. Hell, practically anyone who was anyone in Roman politics was on the list, unless he was a creature, a hanger-on, of one of the Triumviral principals.
Once the conspirators against society got their combination together, they moved very fast, and Cicero, who was riding high in February and helping lead the Senate and run the State, was dead a matter of weeks later, his head and hands cut off and displayed on the Rostrum in the Roman Forum.
They turned on former allies, family, everybody -- that fast.
Word to the wise, everybody. I think Obama is underrated as a potential political mass-killer. I think he has the potential really to surprise a lot of people.

I believe that your assessment is right on target.
I also believe strike sooner than later. And as much as I hope I am wrong, I do not believe that there will be a meaningfl election in November 2010. There may be an election and may be candidates from both subsets of the Democrat Party, but, obama will have his thugs stationed at every polling place , telling people how to vote and making sure they do as told.
The fools and parasites gave away our Country November 4, 2008. The only way it will be reposessed is with blood. In my opinion.
