>>They are busy making up all sorts of absurd scenarios as to what will happen if that occurs. I thought (very briefly) about compiling a list of them to play back in a couple of years, but decided it wasn't worth it. Delusional.<< Sam - Well, Jon Stewart did ask Obama whether he planned to enslave the white race if he became President, and Obama just laughed. He didn't deny it! I don't know why the mainstream media isn't following up on such an important story. - Allen

Well Sam I did the same thing back in 2002 when the precipitous invasion of Iraq was an issue. I filed the posts of all those who predicted it would be a turkey walk. That the Iraqi's would open us with open arms and flowers. It was all gang ho and full steam ahead. Teddy Roosevelt rides again. And all those who posted otherwise were on Kool AID. Then when 2006 came around and the majority of Americans had it with the war. Things were going as "UNPLANNED "by those in charge and all those posts about WMD and Nuclear bombs to be used against us were proven false (they were moved to Syria) the rhetoric changed as the administration changed the tune.It was that we were not going to lose this war. The Democrats and war protesters had lost the Viet Nam war...But we are not going to lose this one. I always wondered how difficult it must have been for Obama to have voted against the war when all around him those who had bought up the Bush Administration rhetoric were voting yes. He was one of the FEW prevailing good thinkers, who looked beyond the immediate and measured the consequences... He should be elected on that platform alone. ANYWAY I have discarded all of those posts by deleting the folders of those whose names were on them. AND at this point I don't care. It's a group who never admit to being wrong. Whose president and his followers are always right. No criticisms come forth as to what they have done that has damaged us as a Country and left us in this mess we are now in. Larger government, spending through the roof. Just print more money and now see where it has gotten us. Pelosi,Reid and the Democratic Congress are to blame. At least we are around to take the blame for it never could be us.. DUH
