Wow. All in bolded letters.

And I don"'t have to wish the Obama voters will divorce themselves from some form of abusive syndrome.

See you in November.

It matters little if the Demopublicans or Republicrats are in power.

The national debt, as defined in law, cannot be paid - ever.
The national debt, pursuant to Amendment 14, clause 4, cannot be questioned, even when it is impossible to repay.
Congress has been bankrupt since 1933. No dollars have circulated since then. We've lived for over three generations under the expedient rules of a perpetual "temporary" State of Emergency, re-authorized by each sitting president, partisanship notwithstanding.
Thanks to FICA/ Socialist InSecurity (1935), Americans were tricked into underwriting the public debt (i.e., "contributors"), in exchange for entitlements. Now, we are in the twilight time before the final collapse.

I am skeptical that public servants would willingly surrender power obtained by fraud and constructive fraud. For to do so, would require a wholesale denunciation of all Congresses since 1933. And that is "off limits" in American politics.

On the off chance that 51% of American people actually read the laws on the books, and decided to WITHDRAW CONSENT, then the government would collapse, the "dollar bill" would cease to have any trade value, and chaos would erupt.

So, regardless of what is decided in the November elections, there is no solution.
The debt service will continue to increase.
The tax load will continue to increase.
The legal bribery will continue to increase.
The overtaxed productive Americans will suffer more burdens.
The recipient class will enjoy more benefits.
The illegal immigration invasion force will continue to drain the states.

And at some point, the 'music' stops, and folks will find that there aren't enough chairs.

Either the bloated government will collapse, or the "takers" will get kicked out of power, and the "taken" will rise to power.

Either way, the "takers" know they're in trouble.

Democrats (not the partisan party) are in for a bad time. Because, the system cannot survive an electorate that votes based on how much bribery it can acquire from the public treasury, nor an elected government that is operated on opinion polls, popularity contests and deceit.

May the saint's preserve this nation until that exceptional day arrives !

Thanks Y'ALL / Old Sgt. Lamar

And what "surprise" does GOP have in store for us in 2012?
The Rovian "winning formula">Palin as puppet "prez", and Mccain VP/real prez? Been there, done that!

Your thoughts ring clear and true which drives those on the right that support the GOP crazy with anger that someone would dare to state the true history of the events as they actually happened and are yet today.

Good on you!!!

as for the other crap, since the senate would likely be in republican hands, barely, compromise will be forced on congress in order to get anything done, as you know the democrats will do everything they can to block the republicans agenda.
I am glad you used the word "fear", which is being afraid of real GOP repetitions of the past

Psst, learn how to read a chart. That is NOT a chart showing the budget, that is a chart showing the deficit. As in the Dems have screwed us for generations to come in just the last couple of years.

Last I checked, God allows me to decide what I want.

I did not make a statement concerning the importance of gays.
