Many people who’ve been conned by these promises know now that they can’t be kept, and they are not willing to push the nation over a cliff in the attempt to do the impossible


Unfortunately, I think just the opposite. Most people will keep voting Democratic as long as they think they will get theirs. Be it SS, Medicare, Disability, Welfare, pensions, or earmarks. Long term consequences be damned.

It’s over, folks. Obama knows what he’s doing. My fear is that he knows America better than the rest of us think we do.

Romans 11:1-5

1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Galatians 4:22-31

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Ezekiel 37:11-14

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

Everyone is just out to “get theirs”

The masses should NEVER have been given the right to vote.

Nope. Real people don't believe what he does. I do believe, however that what used to be a 15% leech population is now above 25% and that is expensive and very worrisome because the real wealth creation power of this country is declining. That means that the pie keeps shrinking like it always does under marxism.

When someone like Medina can’t even get into the runoff in place like Texas

Medina would have done a lot better if she didn't have a "Truther" bumpersticker stuck on her forehead.

Doggone it, when the Boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare, OF COURSE they get government bennies dumped on them even if they don’t want them.

She did herself in with that. A sane, more conservative candidate would’ve torn Perry to shreds.

Gag, never put Medina, whose entire experience revolves around confusing rectal and oral thermometers, and suing the GOP, in the same sentence with Palin who ran the largest State in the Union and has more executive experience than the President.

On multiple talk shows, only one was national that people focus on.

Now I feel like an @ss for having endorsed her on here.

Medina is a 9/11 truther. She was a total non-starter. Good riddance.

This mode of governance only works until the checks start bouncing. That is happening. Soon.

We Americans pride ourselves on our independence. Our nation's founding document even uses that in its title — the Declaration of Independence.

The actual title:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

His cohorts in the US Congress are equally as guilty in their premeditated destruction of our way of life and our children and grandchildren’s futures.

Call them 24/7 and tell them you’re on to their evil intentions.

Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Medina, you’re kidding right? She has no one to blame but herself.
