1948 Presidential Election between Harry Truman and Tom Dewey:

Everybody went to bed that night confident that Dewey had won. Chicago newspaper next day after the election had a 4 to 6 inch headline that Dewey had won.

Some of you may not know the actual result. Truman had won.

My point being that I'm comparing Obama with Dewey. Arrogant Obama will NOT win. The fact that he is planning what he is doing here will turn off more and more intelligent and some slightly intelligent voters against him.

Here's to a long fall (and autumn) for BO.

With McCain as my only roadblock to the WH, I’d be planning too.

I just woke up, read your remarks, and “dabnagit” I just watched, again, a speech between Kennedy and Nixon.
Sheesh!

"If you have noticed, there's an aggressive, attack-mode tag team of anti-Romney, anti-Mormon agents provocateur operating on every related post on FR as we speak. You defy them at your peril. They're not in the Obama camp, but the net results are a distinction without a difference."

Losers are losers regardless of what party they're in.

This election will be a referendum on the false messiah. He will lose.

With less than six months to go before he would be sworn in as the nation’s 44th president, Sen. Barack Obama has directed his aides to begin planning for the transition. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

For the first time in US history, if Obama wins ( thats a big IF), his presidential aides will have to be heavily armed and ready to fight. He will not be able to destroy the Republic with just an electoral win.

“Premature Inauguration Syndrome”.

Treatment includes seeing a doctor for an election lasting longer than 4 hours.

This guy has a middle name hussein and a first name just one letter off of the world's #1 terrorist and he thinks he's destined to be the next potus.

I just donated to McCain today, too. Now instead of three letters a day, I’ll get 10!

This country won’t survive Obama’s first term.

Voters in the GOP primaries have chosen Hussein. Right or wrong, I feel sure, the country will survive Hussein and will become more conservative because of him.

I've been frightened. This guy is scarier than the villians in some of the best political thriller novels.

Well said, Allegra. He is indeed.

re: and will someone please tell him to stop saying “my friends”)))

I'm sure someone has, and he didn't listen--what if he doesn't care if he wins? It may be enough to satisfy his ego and his sense of spite towards the GOP base that he got the nom.

“..Its the “ Don’ fight it / Air of Inevitability “ mind game strategy learned from the Nazi propaganda experts...”

Exactly - it’s called “Voter suppression”. And the ONLY damned poll that counts is on Election Day.

F**k ‘em. Show up and VOTE. Vote FOR McCAIN or Vote AGAINST OBAMA, however you rationalize it, but SHOW UP AND SEND THIS MISERABLE COMMUNIST POS PACKING either way.

Too many American men died for us to allow these subversive traitors to put us through four years of socialist hell; remember Clinton? Look at the damage he STARTED; this one will attempt to FINISH it. Gore was supposed to finish it, and thank GOD Dubya came along.

Start convincing people you know to show up and vote; they’re probably being brainwashed every day by the media, and only hearing about the wonderful Obamessiah and how he’ll make pregnant pigs fly and we’ll all be friends holding hands all over the hand. Introduce them to Free Republic and what’s REALLY going on under the radar here - I’ve done that already. It’s amazing when people suddenly “wake up” and get in touch with their inner pissed-off Americanism.

Our power lies in SHOWING UP and NOT letting them play their mind games. AFTER we win the election, we set about cleaning house for 2012, throwing all RINOs under the bus, and finding and nominating Conservatives to replace them. And who knows? McCain may even turn out to be BETTER than we expect. He may decide to MAVERICK the Democrats for once. Who knows how God will move his heart?

If I’m wrong, well, then my opinion won’t have mattered much, will it? But I will NOT sit by and HAND the election to this scum.

People DIED for this country; we should not be so quick to surrender it to “inevitability”. Hillary was “inevitable” too, remember???

Ncalburt, You nailed it with the “Nazi propaganda expert” comment too. Good Call there, bro. They’ve been doing their studying, these busy little socialists...studying propaganda from the MASTER socialists...the Nazis.

And as Gump said - “That’s All I Have To Say About That..”

Thanks for the reminder. The Clintonistas also trashed our White House. The Obamidiots have even less respect and will do far more harm to our country.
