Obama will likely sell California to the Chinese to pay off the debt.

Sounds good to me. High-tech toys like the iPad will be really cheap when the designers have their pay hammered to the level of the manufacturers. I can hardly wait!

Of course, there's always the risk the designers will evaporate before Release 2.

But, lest I be bored, let me contemplate with what grade of toilet paper will the Chi-Coms honor the California public employee pensions! I'll bet that'd be a real knee-slapper! It'd probably be the best argument in favor of communism ever advanced.

I think you have a point there. Unless the Dems hadn’t run someone and he had time to swap parties, then perhaps he could swing something. Otherwise, and probably, you are right .

Are you saying cap-and-trade isn't as tyrannical as Obamacare?

In respect to being an assault on the very concept of individual liberty I don't think cap-and-trade rises to that level. HCR does and I think that is really its only purpose.

As for McCain's ability or intent to destroy this Republic I don't think he is intelligent enough to see the affect his policies would have, I don't think he has the mal-intent in his heart that 0baMao has and I don't think he is quite clever enough to do what 0bieWonbuttholie did today. Those are my thoughts about him even though IMO he is an extremely skilled Senator.

It’s just for show. Remember that this is a club and as much as the pubes might come off as being genuine, they want to continue to country club life style they have in congress. The Republican party is broke and as Boner said his speech, they pubes have helped to destroy congress.

Oh yeah, thats it. Blame Bush. How about blame all the dumb asses who voted for Obama?!

Not only that but people have lost sight of just how long Pelosi, Reid and Franks (and their liberal-minded ilk) have been in power. Add a soclialist President to the pot and this is what you get. Now we have a gazillion illegals in this country who will get free healthcare and I have to pay for it along with my own family coverage. S-rew who's fault it is. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED US!

Why did that happen?

Perhaps everyone was tired of being urinated on by the GOP, and their poor choices to run in the 2008 elections. There wasn't a GOP single candidate who was worth considering.

Cripes, Ron Paul was up against Mcstain in the primaries. Obama was practically running against Mcstain's VP nominee (Palin). That's how bad it was.

No one can tell me that if any of the Republicans that were running had won the election, that we would be facing what we are facing today. Not a one of them would have done this. We are waiting for perfection and since Ronald Reagan left office, that doesn’t exist.

That's almost funny. If Mcstain would have won, we'd be facing much of the same, and hoping that he would have a heart attack so Palin would take over.

“In 2008, we were screwed no matter what we did.”

The day McCain was selected is the day we lost the election.

"temper tantrum"

Agree. Too many conservatives take their baseball bat and go home if everything isn't exactly to their liking. The grim truth: no politician will ever be one hundred percent to anyone's liking. Not even Reagan who was attacked by a number of "conservative" elites i.e. Grover Norquist, while president.

“It is time for the silent majority to become the driving force in this country again.”

For a candidate to receive my vote they must believe in the Constitution (States Rights), believe in small government that gets out of the way of the people and they must not believe that they are above the people but must believe that they work for the people.

In other words if their agenda is anything but Strict Constructionist on the Constitution they can take a hike.

PS: I never fail to get in someones face especially a liberal who hates this country or a Conservative who IMHO can’t see the big picture. I also think that what you wrote is a very good plan for winning.

Yep, and possibly the nation...

People will now either wake up or lose their national heredity.

That was the sad choice I chose to present to my fellow citizens in November of 2008. Either shock them into response soon enough to revive them and thereby the nation, or let them die to loyalty and national pride altogether and watch the end come straight away.

This November looms large. Either it will have worked, or it won’t. Either way our nation was dying by bits anyway.

It’s my hope that the Republicans will get a veto proof majority out of this election.

Apparently you have.

Domestically he was terrible, and helped lead us to where we are today.

Live it. Eat it. Breath it. IT’s the truth.

Would Bush Jr. been President had Bush Sr. not? And would Bush Sr. ever been President had he not been VP?

Obama was elected because of the sanctimonious selfrightousists bush bashers.

The blame is on conservative turncoats that can’t accept any thing but christlike perfection that will never be.
