Did somebody say “civil war”?
I’m ready as I’ll ever be.
How else does a nation root out the treason and sedition that parades boldly down main street?

A civil war between leftists and conservatives would be rather short-lived, considering which side has all the guns.

We have serious disagreements on the nature of government and its policies, and what we need is honest debate rather than blather about Utopian unity and Kumbayah campaign themes.

Nah, what we need is to round up all the deranged lefties, ship ‘em to the Bikini Atoll and do some good ol’ fashioned nuke testing again.

Bipartisanship may help John McCain win an election this year, but it doesn’t work in practice.

I still dream for the day when true conservatives control all branches of government, with 60+ members in the Senate.

I dream of the day when true conservatives in DC can simply steamroll over the opposition to finally do what needs to be done to get this country back on track.

Just imagine the prosperity, strength and pride as a nation, Reaganesque optimism, the freedom and liberty Americans would enjoy if true conservative principles prevailed. Faith in government would be at all-time highs.

I can dream, can’t I…?

You can dream, but that would require nearly a 100% change of elected representatives in both chambers. Not a bad thing, but given Gerrymandering that isn’t going to happen. I can’t say when the Republicans controlled the house and senate they exactly kicked butt on things. I’d love to boot my congressman David Price D/PRCH (People’s Republic of Chapel Hill) but they have diluted my strongly conservative suburban town/city with enough libtards from PRCH and Durham that we can’t vote him out. They’ve cut my town in thirds and as such we’re represented by 3 dhimicrats.

George W. Bush wanted to be The Uniter, too, and had a track record of it in Texas. He discovered that America didn’t want to be united. Instead of healing the partisan divide, the divide got positively deranged.

Thank you George Soros & moveon.org, John Kerry, Al Gore, Cindy Sheehan, and Koskiddies.

Perhaps the American electorate needs to grow up a little and stop believing in fairy tales. Political candidates should stop telling them, too.

The biggest fairy tale the One has not told his cronies is the possibility of losing.

They will be completely crushed if he does, not having been prepared for that possibility.

You/we will be labeled “racists”.

Someone in another thread mentioned that power is down in much of Texas. He seemed convinced that might have skewed the polls.

Count to 10 on September 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM

Aha! Well – at 1.5 million in Houston area have no electricity – however I heard today that throughout the country where Ike hit (midwest too) there’s about 4.5 million out of power.

Might be a kernal of truth to that.

Obama voted with Pelosi and Reid 97% of the time. That’s a strong case to make.

marklmail on September 18, 2008 at 10:01 AM

There are so many many incredablily good cases that can be made against Obama. Has there ever been someone running for President with stronger ties to outright convicted crooks? No!

Yet for some stupid reason no one will pursue these connections and get Obama out of the race. The polls would not be anywhere near tied if the information was just put where real Americans get their news.

I am absolutely certain that most of the people I see today will have no clue about Rezko or Ayers or Wright or the Fredie Fannie contributions etc…

Not one non-political junky will ever have any clue how crooked Obama is. It just is not right.

Perhaps the American electorate needs to grow up a little and stop believing in fairy tales.

Amen. My Dad always taught me that unity in DC was not a good thing–they are usually picking our pockets as they unite.

this ship needs to turn around. pray.

I’m a bit tired of conservatives and Sen. McCain playing out one act from Julius Caesar, where conservatives take on the role of Caesar and McCain of Brutus… save that after each stabbing Sen. McCain then wheels around to win back some trust, conservatives swoon and then, soon, it is the daggers again. Interesting in the 80′s, part of a bad soap opera today. That was amusing very early on in the Clinton Administration but I don’t want another soap opera in the White House, although of different theme the soap opera type is well known.

Your giving the mob too much credit. Most people are too stupid to continue to breathe, much less be trusted to vote based on something as signifigant as “Issues”.

There are plenty of people who are going to vote for Palin because she’s cute. Or for nObama because he’s not white.

“Would he stick with those new positions, or compromise with the Democratic Congress he’d likely be working with?”

One cannot help but observe that they don’t notice that Obama campaigns entirely differently from his record and USA Today fails to ask the analgous question of Obama- would THE ONE govern the way he campaigns or the way he’s voted?

Funny about that.

An aside: Thanks sgain for your analysis, Ed. Hot Air is that much better with your contributions.

The mysterious deaths of black gays in and around Wright’s Church: Donald Young, Nate Spencer, Larry Bland could be linked to Obama.

Hey, remember where they live.
Chicago is more dangerous than Anbar.

Although those 15% of the time that McCain has deviated from conservative principles sometimes infuriate the base, that appeals to the “mushy middle”, and either candidate needs most of the mushy middle to win the White House. This article is probably very favorable to McCain’s chances, and we should applaud it.

anybody know anything about this??????

Jeez… Let’s not get down into the mud with the piggies. We don’t like when the nasty lefties smear Sarah with baseless allegations and should provide Obama with the same respect. There is more than enough above the board stuff to go after him on.

GOPGryphon on September 18, 2008 at 10:00 AM

Larry Sinclair is still alive..

maybe it’s only a coincidence..

Unity = a world without conservatives.
