Principled independent conservatism is winning.

Yessir! Declare war on the American people.

Good luck with that as a strategy.

Predictions? Oh, okay:

Much work will remain to put America back on its foundations, and the price of liberty will still be eternal vigilance.

The important thing is not to stay home on November 2, 2010 and vote. Unless you vote in the early election, which I probably will do

Yes, the ugly secret here is: Town Hall protesters are NOT happy with Washington Republicans either! We’d be happy to remove THEM from office also. The GOP has let the nation down, and the citizens are (finally, belatedly) paying attention. Any GOP hack who doesn’t confirm his conservative principles is suspect and will be in trouble next election.

We KNEW Obama was a disaster, but “moderate” GOP politicians were weak when they should have been strong. The Left over-reaches, and they screw up when in power. Fine.

Entrenched Republicans have one last chance to choose right over Whitehouse might, and we are taking notes.

"Yessir! Declare war on the American people. "

Problem is, when it comes to commiebama, he only means war on white American people. He's such a racist he makes Jesse Jackson look like Mother Theresa.

There will be a lot of violence and skullduggery - goons called out to threaten, beat up people, slash tires, etc. of people they think will vote the wrong way. Close elections will be determined by those counting the votes.

You can be sure the Dems are making their plans right now. Conservative and Republican groups had better be well-organized and have a well-thought-out strategy on how to counter this.

There will be a move to the right in the opinions of most Americans, but the election definitely won't be an honest one.

Take a look at what happened in Iran, with their July 12th election. I think we are becoming more and more like Iran, unbelievable as that would have seemed a short while ago.

The news media is lying. They should either report the news accurately, or go out of business, because they are doing the public a disservice.

That’s why we have primaries. Replace RINOs with real Republicans, in primaries. Replace Rats with Republicans in general elections.

When the Democrats constantly demean, deride, slander, and otherwise lie about their opposition, as they have done for many years, is it any wonder that their opposition will gradually lose their rights, and even be subject to physical attack? That’s what we saw last week. It’s happened before in history.

We must band together to protect ourselves and our rights. I may disagree with “RINOS” or libertarians, but they are not demanding that I shut up, or trying to intimidate me.

I do believe the next year leading up to the mid-term elections are going to get very ugly and it will be important to get organized bigtime and get the word out.

We are still assuming there will BE and Election Night 2010. I’m not so sure, at least it won’t be the same as the past elections.

"OK after all of these “Town Halls”, What is everyone’s prediction for Election Night 2010?"

You're assuming there will be elections in 2010. There are no elections during martial law or a "national emergency," IIRC.

And get involved in Republican primaries and kick out the RINOs. Also, vote Republican for Secretary of State. Part of Rham's 06/08 election strategy included getting dems elected SOS. Dems love to contest elections and the SOS sets the rules.

When that call for Marshall law comes, whatever the made up crisis, that is the moment the war begins
