Does this surprise anyone?

I am convinced that the nation will fail any day at warp speed & we will be as totalitarian as 3rd world dictators. If the people haven't take up arms & gone after this over-the-top CONgress & shadow government - co-mingled between (D)s & (R)s by this time I see no hope that they will in the future. Bet your booties that the elites won't stop until they are stopped & their consolidated power is now to the point of non reversal.

Like the Phoenix we will rise from the ashes. Things will get worse, but America has a strong history of eventually evicting idiots from their elected office. In this case it will be the economy that drives Obama and the leftists out. Obama's policies, which a critical mass understands are bad, will drive the economy lower, perhaps much lower. With a bad economy, and overwhelming majority of folks will join the bandwagon. Conservatives will overturn the failed policies of Obama.

Carville got it right, "It's the economy, stupid." (No, I am not addressing this quote to you, but it does in a sense apply to many middle of the roaders.)
