Texas and the rest of the solid red states need to elect more conservatives all the wway down the ballot. If Obama wins we must be defiant and support our state elected officials!

IMO we’re screwed either way. Zero loses, we have massive race riots.

I'm trying to see the downside here...unless you live in the inner city.

So who do you think is the best possible candidate to run against a Dim and the mainstream press. I fear we are doomed but if you think you have some kind of insight, I’d like to hear it. I can’t think of a person who would have been more likely to take out Obama than Romney.

Personally, if civil war breaks out if this commie traitor and ghetto thug is reelected - so be it.

If Obama wins reelection, I am extremely pessimistic about any R ever winning the presidency. The MSM is too powerful and we have a nation of idiots voting.

Any R that would even consider running against a Dim is too dumb to get my vote.

No, people will go right back to watching Honey Boo Boo, American Idle and ordering pizza.

Pretty much.

I just saw a Romney ad. It was another I-can-manage-the-welfare-state-better-than-Obama ad. I wanted to pull my hair out. It’s not enough for him to smile and tell the public his plan is better than Obama’s because he says it is. He has to tell the public why. In short: he has to tell the public Obama’s policies will fail because Obama is a leftist. Unfortunately, that he will not do. I still pick him to win the election, but he should be blowing Obama out of the water.

“I'm trying to see the downside here...unless you live in the inner city.”

Or be like me and have to work in some areas (section 8 housing, west/ south-west montgomery). My company refuses to allow us to carry a weapon at anytime. I'm not even supposed to have the machete that I have when doing Right of Way inspections.

If the sh*t hits the fan, 2/3rds of Montgomery will be a smoking ruin. Selma and Tuskegee will cease to exist.... Once the hoodrats run out of things to destroy in those areas, they'll spread out like locusts seeking new areas to ravage

It’s possible.

Initiating IMPEACHMENT proceedings immediately after such a win could help in preventing it. That would start riots, but oh well.

From the Declaration of Independence

— “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

“Have the people of the USA become so fragmented that all hope of E. Pluribus Unum has been lost?

The answer may lie in another question. What core values and shared sense of identity do the following groups have?

White suburban middle class Christians
Hispanic illegal immigrants and their children
African American urban poor
Wealthy secular Ivy League educated urban whites
Poor rural whites
Middle class African American government employees
First generation Muslim immigrants from Pakistan and the Middle East
Retired elderly whites on fixed incomes
Young unemployed college graduates with liberal arts degrees from average state universities and no name private schools.
First generation Asian immigrants
White males age 55 and above unemployed for more than 12 months
Members of Congress and senior government bureaucrats
Educators

Do all of the above share a strong sense of pride in the country, it’s history, the founder’s vision of limited government and individual liberty? Do they have respect for private property, a commitment to the rule of law, a common definition of right and wrong, a strong sense of personal responsibility? Are they willing to die to protect the country and their neighbors? Are they tolerant of differences of opinion and lifestyles or do they wish to impose their beliefs on others?

Unfortunately, we are a society that values “diversity” not common values. We do not even share a common definition of freedom. To some freedom is being able to live life with minimal government. To others it means government enabling them to enjoy all forms of licentious behavior with zero responsibility for the consequences. To an increasing number it means enjoying a government defined and provided minimum standard of living without having to put forth any effort.

Can these phones be used to set off IEDs?

I wonder if any obamaphones have been used for just that.

Secession and a John Galt strike are possibilities as well.
