There would be a downward spiral in the economy; what’s happending now would continue. We’d have the same political stalemate, the same approach by the WH.

Everyone would have to ride it out as things slowed down.

But it would get more and more economically painful.

If things got bad enough, so it became clear that we would have really big problems and not be able to make it 4 more years (very likely), the Senate would come up with an impeachment.

That’s what they see the role of their “club” as - stability.

I dont know. I think if Obama wins (especially if it were like a landslide win), then I think we are beyond the point of no return.

Socialism and big government is like drugs. It feels good at first. It feels like its helping you. But when you let it into your life, it takes you over. And eventually, it will destroy you.

Americans may already be addicted to the entitlement culture. They may already be addicted to the drugs. And when a conservative runs for office saying he’s going to take Americans off that drug, people will reject him. I think this election right now is the precipice. If the country does not reject socialism right here and right now, it might be too late.

I'll just comment on one small part of your rather large questions.

1. Have a Plan A in order to prevent voter fraud from being used to get Obama reelected.

This may be the first election in which we see widespread use of fraud in computerized voting.

Democrats should have little trouble accomplishing this:

This will be hard to prevent and hard to detect if it is done carefully. Republicans should try to put themselves in positions of responsibility over the voting machines and networks, and should try to restrict physical access to the machines/networks after voting hours. If a machine breaks, replace it, don't get it repaired. Be suspicious of anyone (aside from voters) who can physically touch a voting machine or who can connect to it by a network.

Eventually, America will have a widely publicized computer voting scandal, and we will drop the computers and return to relatively hack-proof hand marked paper ballots. Until that happens, it is important to raise awareness of the risks we are running with our current computerized voting systems.

I scaled my work way back when Pelosi and Reid started spending like drunken sailors back under GWB, but it’s far worse today. I have been temporarily delaying optional basic purchases (even underwear and socks) for two years, just to make sure I don’t contribute to any apparent economic recovery after ObamaCare was rammed through. If Obama keeps power though, my strategy will change. I will see going off grid as a permanent plan. I expect America to fall by 2016 if that communist does not leave our White House this coming January, and I’ll be working full time on preparing for that inevitable catastrophe - and officially retired. I don’t expect ever to work again if we’re going down that path.

There is an interesting book devoted to the question you raised, “Unintended Consequences”.

Unfortunately, it is now expensive, with Amazon listing hard cover copies at as much as $800 (some at $85 to $200).

It examines the questions:
1. When are we finally forced by out of control government to follow the Concord/Lexington examples?
2. Who is shot by whom?

“It’s a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack” - a line from an older song.

I never thought America would devolve to the point that a book like Unintended Consequences” would be written, nor that it would become a heavily bid for collectors edition.

That Unintended Consequences has become so sought after raises the question: “What have we allowed to be done to the Republic on our watch?”

I fear the answer is: “Nothing good”.

With the storm clouds of Collectivism and Islam about to break, I think of Churchill’s disturbingly prescient lines: “If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -

And, I fear we have produced an urban population of willing socialists slaves, eager for the modern day ‘Bread & Circuses’ that preceded the fall of Rome.

If the outcome is unclear and/or zero is re- elected.
1. Redouble prepping efforts.
2. Patriot groups should regroup and form prepping support groups.
3. Cut off all contact with ignorant moderates and liberals.
4. Form back up plans to leave the country. We should form some type of consensus on the best country for re-location.
Another 0bama will transform the US into a third world dictatorship via executive orders and czars. The economy will tank, the currency will be destroyed, civil strife will be commonplace. In fact, civil strife may be our friend. Civil strife by the welfare class and Leftists will at least keep the police and military busy and off the backs of the prepared conservative.
