So what if Obama is elected? After four years, Americans will realize they've been sold a bill of goods by the left-wing media, and vote him back out again. Then we can live happily ever after. Right?
Wrong. Four years is more than enough time to inflict permanent damage on this country, given the large majorities the moonbat messiah is likely to have in both houses of Congress. The Wall Street Journal warns that if Dems get BHO in the White House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, we will enter "a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy."
Among the consequences:
Socialized medicine. This gargantuan entitlement would be extremely difficult to repeal, and would inevitably lead to low-quality, rationed healthcare in the short term, national bankruptcy in the long term.
Hostile business climate. Nancy Pelosi says the government has "harsh decisions" to make regarding assigning blame and doling out punishment for the financial panic. The ball and chain Sarbanes-Oxley put on American business will feel like a sweatband compared to the shackles coming next. The first victims will be the financial, energy, telecom, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. Needless to say, this will not shorten the economic downturn. Fortunately for Democrats, the worse the economy, the more cover they have to inflict socialism, making it worst still. This vicious spiral will not stop until communist America finds itself rooting through Dumpsters for food.
Union supremacy. Unions are a cancer that have all but killed the American auto industry. Dems want to do away with secret ballot elections so that intimidation tactics can be used to make them vastly more powerful. The Orwellian "Employee Free Choice Act" — supported by Obama — entails forcing businesses to recognize a union even where the majority of workers don't want to unionize.
Taxes. Obviously an economic slowdown is not a good time to raise taxes. Yet Obama has made it clear he will jack taxes through the ceiling. Supposedly this will only affect "the rich." Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of economics knows that it will hurt us all by crippling the economy.
Ecolunacy. Cap and trade schemes based on the fictional global warming crisis would make a recession permanent by inflicting punitive taxation on all economically productive activity. I hope the polar bears appreciate it.
Voting rights. Election-day voter registration is already leading to chaos in Ohio. This would likely go national, as anything that facilitates voter fraud helps Democrats, whose appeal is to moral degenerates who don't feel they should have to earn anything, including election victories. Felons may get the right to vote nationwide — another big boon to Democrats, for obvious reasons.
Freedom of speech. Some new form of the "Fairness Doctrine" would be employed to shut up Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and anyone else who might use the airwaves to rally resistance against socialism. Next the Left would target the Internet, under the guise of "net neutrality." But don't worry, Keith Olbermann will still to be around to keep you informed.
Special interests. It will be Christmas every day for teachers unions and trial lawyers. There are limits to how much damage termites can do to a structure before it is no longer sound.
Terrorism. Look for O.J. Simpson–style civil courts for every last foreign terrorist who comes into custody. Hamas has its reasons for endorsing Obama.
As the WSJ concludes:
In both 1933 and 1965, liberal majorities imposed vast expansions of government that have never been repealed, and the current financial panic may give today's left another pretext to return to those heydays of welfare-state liberalism. Americans voting for "change" should know they may get far more than they ever imagined. If the media gets its way next month, moonbattery may corrode America past the point of no return.
He’ll have two years until the mid term elections. We’ll see.

the courts are after the fact. obama will probably let them in and go easy on the wiretaps
I think most conservatives are wising up on this one. They know we can either still be the USA with McCain or be USSA with Obama.
mid term can’t change the executive branch. that’s where the worst damage will take place
exactly
Also remember all the illegals who will now gain the right to vote for Dems and big government on a permanent basis.
Of the MOST consequence will be at least one, quite likely 2, Supreme Court appointments. Ginsberg is practically on life-support waiting for the next election as it is. If Obama gets to nominate justices with a majority Senate, the laws in this country will be worthless. And you know they’ll pick someone who’s barely out of diapers so they’ll be on the court for many many years.
The New American Socialist Party is born.
The NAMZI Party will bring a new order to the Fatherland.
Until then.....lock and load. Gangs will run rampant and he will defend them.
Hoping for another 1994 in 2010 is delusional at best. We may win back a few house and senate seats. Whoopee. Nov 4th is a must-win. Period.
On the other hand, just imagine all of the RINOS, Hollyweirdoes and freeloaders we can get rid of when they leave to country to move to Canada or France if McCain/Palin wins.
Do you really think that McCain will resist, especially on issues like bailouts, amnesties, and climate change...you know, the issues on which he agrees with the Democrats? And, on other issues, McCain has not only touted his "bipartisan" record of bending over to please the Democrats but even outright shown a willingness to bend over even more (appointing Al Gore to his Cabinet, praising Cuomo and Hillary, praising Obama).
Voting for McCain is only buying time, and not that much, I'm afraid. And the U.S. will still take "permanent" damage that is permanent to the extent that the electorate is unwilling to forcibly repeal it...and reject the anti-American policies that the establishment in both major political parties is trying to impose on them.
I own a snow plow.
My neighbbor has a driveway full of snow.
He offers me money to plow it out.
Can I do it for him, for cash, without government involvement?
Do I need a license, tax forms, some sort of registration?
Explain why you believe you live in a free country. This is an essay question, without a correct answer.
If Obama makes the headway in destruction of our government that he has with his ACORN fraud, lawsuits, and truth squads in the last month, I wouldn’t count on a 2 party system in 2 years. With control of the full Congress and no ability to filibuster, it could take only months to destroy the Constitution and have a communist rule here.
We aren’t talking about typical, greedy politicians here— most of these people are long time members of the communist party and have waited 30 or 40 years for this. Ayers will looked like a benevolent guy compared to what we will see.
BE VERY AFRAID if Obama wins!
McCain and his buddies are RINOs. How does exalting them to the highest office in the land..."get rid of" them?
Governor Palin is a RINO? Clue: That’s what this IS ALL ABOUT!
