"If McCain loses, what next for conservatives?"
We'll be rounded up, herded into cattle cars, and taken to reeducation camps. Those of us who resist will be gassed and thrown in mass graves.
That's ridiculous.
We'll be gassed, then *shot*, probably with the guns confiscated from Barack Carpathia's first month in office, and operated by the Obama Youth Squads and Hollywood Brigades

Step One: Fairness Doctrine
Step Two: A ‘crisis’
Step Three: FDR/WWII style rationing and strict gun control laws, incremental.
Step Four: A ‘draft’ to solve the ‘crisis’
Step Five: We learn too late why Michelle Obama predicted that Obama will make us work — the Ayers Draft:

But if we are informed enough and undermine his authority, we can prevent him from using the draft as a loophole to put ages 18 to 41 in indoctrination camps / work camps.
Step Six: If he is not undermined, Obama appoints enough judges that we lose our sovereignty to the UN and World Court. Checkmate.
Best solution: win this election.

I would strongly urge you to start studying various resistance movements of the late 19th to early 20th century specifically the Irish Republican Army. Yes we can resist & eventually prevail but it will require a lot of hard work & discpline. I guess that's my point. Life as we know it would stop and any resistance would bear fruit at least beyond my generation.
People do not realize what they are asking for when they want the government to "take care of them". Control of all aspects of their lives will be a shock to most.
Imagine being forced to live in filthy urban communes. Freedom of Christianity will be restricted with other religions encouraged for "multiculturalism" purposes. Private property will become rare. Conjure up John Lennon's "Imagine" and you see part of where they want us to go.
Euthanasia and abortion will be forced on us for population control under the guise of saving the earth and the economic burden of the old and too many babies.
The family will be broken so that any children can be taught what the state wants them to learn.

New Conservative Party.
This should happen no matter who wins. If McCain wins, the RINOs will see this as validation of the GOP's move to the left (or "center" as the "compassionate conservatives" seem to call it at times). If McCain loses, the RINOs in the leadership will see this as proof they didn't lean far enough to the left.

Palin / Hunter in 2012Sounds great. I'm looking for a Sarah Palin / Mike Pence team in 2012, but Hunter is a total stand up guy and I wish that he had won the nomination for President this year.

We have to make sure that Obama never gets elected.

Don’t waste yourself in a firefight. Escape, and we’ll all join up at a location to be named later. Then we can begin the revolution to re-establish the Constitution as the law of the land.

If conservatives of all sorts aren’t energised this election cycle they will never be and marxism will rule America until an attack on us large enough for people to stop worrying about government handouts more than their asses happens.

Narrow foundation of Christian conservatives my a@@! If McCain and other Repubs hadn't ticked off this foundation and the fiscal conservatives so often, he'd be winning this in a landslide.

That’s easy.
Work REALLY hard. A lot of net tax consumers are depending on us.

To: Oldpuppymax
“Had he (McCain) refused to support the trillion dollar, pork-laden bailout of Wall Street and exposed those truly responsible for the finacial fiasco, the election would be over. McCain would, by being a champion of the wishes of the American people, have a 10+ point lead.
Washington had been utterly inundated with mail, e-mail, wires, calls, faxes and the like from angry voters, begging politicians to vote against the theft and distribution of even more tax dollars to the thugs behind the scandal. Rather than stand with the public, McCain fell right in line with his friends and contributors.
This neatly timed October surprise was designed to tip the election to Obama. The polls had favored McCain, prior to this Washington contrivance. And our bipartisan nominee reached across the aisle...”

Very insightful bump.

Winners of national elections have always depended on a coalition. Johnson was able to clobber "true conservative" Goldwater in '64 by scaring the moderates and indies with the vision of a "warmonger" GOP candidate. Likewise, in '72, moderate 'Pub Nixon was able to unite conservatives and moderates against the dyed-in-the-wool liberal McGovern, even in the anti-war year of 1972. Clinton and Reagan were able to win big victories with similar strategies.
Conservatives can't win by just winning their base. Liberals can't win by just winning their base. Those who do will poll around 40% but little more. If either side can present an attractive enough package (based on policies or personality or both) to pull in the middle grounders, they're in. Obortion seems to be doing it this year, McCain and Palin aren't. If it holds true through the 4th, say hello to President Obama (and get ready to go underground).

Yes, there are certainly ways around that. Airships, ships outside of the west and east coast, Mexico, Canada all outside the reach of the FCC.
