When Hussein loses the election there might be some unrest.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I think I may plan some vacation time for November 5. Don't want to be stopped for "Driving While White".

I’m waiting for those threats to come out - especially when October rolls around.

Then the news stories about “whiteys arming themselves” will come out.

And they’ll be right.

Nope, Obama is now Hill’s chance to get into the administration. He’s useful to her alive.

“When Hussein loses the election there might be some unrest”

These morons are cheering the Stolen election of the “Selected, NOT Elected” candidate, whose nomination was handed to him by More-Equal-Than-You-Are Democrat Elitists, after stealing votes from the other candidate.

Why, “It’s almost as good as Democracy!” (paraphrasing Donna Brazille.

Yet, after 7 1/2 YEARS of listening to this crap from the left, not one, NOT ONE media type has noted the irony in that.

We LOST the Propoganda war, and we are SCREWED...

From the forum accompanying the article:

“if my welfare clients are any indication, they’re expecting to get a LOT MORE from Obama once he becomes president and are already starting to be rather upfront about their expectations.”

Gee.
I never saw *that* coming.

Obama's campaign ran circles around Hillary's.

And she had an ex-President helping her.

And old FBI files.

And the meanest opposition research team known to man.

And legions of folks who owed her favors. And her husband favors.

Or were just plain old afraid of them...

And members of the press in her pocket. And connections.

And connections.

And Obama? He had Obama. And a minister who was nuts and a wife with attitude. Good luck McCain -run as a conservative - it's your best chance.

Democrats, the Plantation Party 150 years ago, carry the plantation forward to today - the only difference is that instead of planting and harvesting cotton, they plant money and harvest votes.

“I believe that if Senator Obama leads this country the way he ran the primary, it will become a historic event for African-Americans, probably greater than the Emancipation Proclamation, which was signed in 1863.”

The Emancipation Proclamation cost our nation roughly 600,000 American lives.

The election of Barry Hussein Obama will cost our nation the American way of life.

Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to give the north a war aim to justify the blood being spilled.

“More men were killed or wounded at Antietam on September 17, 1862, than on any other single day of the Civil War. Federal losses were 12,410, Confederate losses 10,700 “

"cost"

The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't enacted until two and one half years into the war. I believe secession was what got 600,000 men killed.

You missed my point. I’m not talking about the beginnings or the reasons for the Civil War, War Between the States, or the War of Northern Agression...whatever you want to call it.

The Emancipation Proclamation came about because of that war, and that war cost us roughly 600,000 American lives.

What is an Obama Presidency going to cost? In my opinion, the cost will be our very way of life.

My point is that there are very steep prices for both events.
