Finally a word to Christian brothers and sisters: I'm sick to death of the doom-and-gloomers who say if Obama is elected it's the end of the world.

I think the LORD of the universe knows how to protect His people. He said he wouldn't destroy Sodom if there were just 10 good men (and women). Well, here's one---I'm sure we can find nine more out there! Moreover, God protected the Israelites in bondage from plagues, storms, and horrible maladies. He kept lights on in the city of Goshen when the Egyptians were in total darkness. And when He freed the Israelites, the Egyptians gave them all their gold and silver!!

So take heart. The government is not our source, and thus the government can't take away what is given by God. We survived FDR, and Obama is a piker compared to that slimy devil. We survived Bill Clinton and Obama doesn't have near the smarts or skills he did.

On Nov. 4, either way, God is in control and will protect those who call upon Him.

He needs to do an ad that BO is trying to BUY votes, or steal them (ACORN).

It seemed to work with Romney. Americans don’t like to think they are being “bought”... unless, of course, it’s welfare.

"...Rasmussen's poll yesterday showed a shocking majority of Americans favor taxing those over $250,000 more!..."

If this is true, it's all over for the republic, it doesn't matter who wins the election. Once a majority of citizens in a democracy decide that a group should be taxed more heavily after they reach a certain arbitrary level of income or wealth, it's over.

The next step is easy, whether BHO or one of his socialist successors is elected. Just inflate the currency, a process that is already well underway, until everybody makes over $250,000.

*Don't count on "Joe the Plumber." Freepers like to think that the ideas that motivate them motivate everyone, but Rasmussen's poll yesterday showed a shocking majority of Americans favor taxing those over $250,000 more! Joe will not play to them.

I disagree. My GF, who is decidedly non-political, picked up on the JTP thing completely independent of me. She mentioned it to me yesterday and we had a great talk about it. She wasn't going to vote for Obama but she had no real, personal reason why other than the fact that she knew I didn't want him elected. When she hear about Obama's infamous answer to JTP, she became uncorked! It just fully hit her what Obama's Marxist policies really mean to the middle class. A proud moment for me, for sure. If she finally got the message all by herself, I know that other indifferent people have as well.

Then I told her about the way the MSM and Obama's thugs are smearing JTP...

McCain will NOT attack enough to win the election.

We CAN.

Flood the MSM out with emails with videos, articles, documentation.

McCain’s anemic attempts to fight Obama back is losing this election.

Your 4-6 seats estimate of Senate losses is too low. VA, NM, CO, NH seats are gone.
NC, OR, AK, MN are Dem leans; and MS, GA are R leans. It is unlikely we can win all 6, and can well lose 3 or more of them.

In the House, keeping losses at 20 seats or less would be a pleasant surprise.

why should we fear the new Woodrow Wilson, Colombians, Israelis, Ukrainians,South Koreans they’re the one who should be scared. And if we’re dragged into a war because we have the weakest Chief Executive in History that’s OK because we’ll know as always Allah is on our side.

“Just over two weeks away from the election, we still have most major polls showing a 3-6 point Obama lead. There have been endless threads here about “voter ID,” proper party identification, and so on, but the bottom line is that no matter whose poll one goes by, McCain at this point is behind. Whether he is even gaining ground is a matter of debate: he is in some (Gallup, Battleground), he’s treading water in others (Rasmussen, IBD).”

Of course the popular vote matters not at all anyhow. What matters is the vote on a per-state basis. CA and NY might give NObama the popular vote, but he could still lose. :-)

Beware the riots though.

McCain/Palin ‘08!

We also have the lesson from Babel; when the tower fell, life went on for everybody who was not on the tower. I see the mortgage bailout, and more generally, the national debt, as America's Tower of Babel.

And, depending on which expert you hear from, either this election or the next election in 2012 America will elect the President who will have to deal with Social Security spending being higher than receipts, which will artificially increase the deficit just as the SS surplus has been artificially decreasing the deficit.

With Democrats in charge, with filibuster proof majorities, who will the democrats and media blame? Probably Joe the Plumber.

I disagree.....Obama doesn't have the AMERICAN ties that bind....he was BORN in Kenya, where half his family still live, one in a HUT.....his step father is from Indonesia and Obama LIVED there for YEARS!! His mother was a GLOBAL GADFLY.....Obama does NOT have AMerica's dirt under his fingernails!!

IMHO, I think he wants to BRING AMERICA DOWN TO A THIRD WORLD LEVEL......all the other Presidents just wanted America to be BETTER, in their own view.....Obama wants America to be WORSE.

You’re right about the tax argument not registering with many voters. I listented to Sean Hannity show last week and he just had call ins from Obama supporters. They all thought higher taxes were just fine (becasue they didn’t think it would affect them.)

We have a woman at work who’s voting for Obama, while everybody else is voting McCain. She doesn’t think the tax issue will affect her, but our employer is an S corporation and would suffer under the Obama tax plan, and if the business suffers, that might mean layoffs.

My plan would be to lay off the Obama supporters first, LOL (just kidding) but maybe then they’d get the message that when the rich are taxed more...they may be taxing you right out of a job.

Downticket candidates need help. Wright has to come back.

James Cone and Black Liberation Theology, Obama's religion, needs to be exposed, proving that Obama lied about Wright.
Feddoso on James Cone YouTube

Expose the lie and Obama's Brand breaks down. The 'Uniter' is really a fraud. People will be repulsed. This is the Democrat's Foley scandal, and they are all complicit in not only covering it up but also supporting him.

To: LS; thecabal

thecabal is right and LS is wrong on this topic. LS, you didn’t even quote Obama’s words to Joe and even thecabal didn’t either, only referring to “Obama’s infamous answer”
In case anyone has forgotten, Obama said he intends to “spread the wealth around”.

Many political philosophers that wrote about our republic and other emerging republics during our countries infancy concluded, our republic as it was formed is a finite entity.

The conclusions were that people will eventually prefer social and economic equality over liberty and patriotism; universal suffrage is a mistake as politicians will always engage in class warfare, and those that have not achieved will always vote to bring those that have to their level; a short while after handouts are accepted complete dependence will follow.

I do not know of any solution to this problem, short of a revolution of some sort.

Once a majority of citizens in a democracy decide that a group should be taxed more heavily after they reach a certain arbitrary level of income or wealth, it's over.

I believe it was Franklin who originally stated this... and oh how true it is. Ignorance fuels this... envy... and a misplaced, deep inner hate. The socialist indoctrination is now complete... and the stooges they pump out of our public schools can recite it backwards. They have oodles of unearned self-esteem... but can't make change without a calculator.

It may not be the end of the world......but it's one hell of a start to the end of America.
