Even a Democrat understands we need CHECKS and BALANCES.
MANY of your friends and family are voting for Obama because they just plain don't like Republicans, or they've fallen for that stupid "no more Bush" media hype, or they don't have time to learn and just figure "everybody else is voting for Obama, he's cool.....what the heck.."
MOST of these people are NOT hard core leftists. SOME are. This post doesn't apply to the hard core nuts.
Tell your otherwise reasonable Democrat or silly Republican friends who're voting for Obama that if they can't be dissuaded, that's (sort of) okay. BUT....................remind them of CONGRESS!
"Do you want a very, very liberal president and a very, very liberal congress? Do you want NO reasonable exchange of ideas, no "let's think about this a second!" before taxes get raised, or gay marriage is the law of the land, or ACORN is consulted to make decisions, or HILLARY or Ayers are on the SCOTUS, or kids are taught about sex at too young an age, or we talk to Iran with no preconditions, or we pull out too early from Iraq, or it's "Free college for EVERYONE!' or "open the borders...come on IN, you're NICE, we LIKE you!"..or..........or..........or..........or?
SOME of your seemingly bright friends are going to ask themselves "Wait....is this a good idea!?"
TELL THEM TO VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN IN THEIR STATE. Tell them "Look, if you're going to vote for Obama, just please make sure there's someone offering a balanced view of his positions.........make him explain, make him answer questions........think twice before you vote for a landslide into socialist oblivion"

It's worth a shot, right? This MIGHT be ALL WE'VE GOT.
Uhoh. I was just looking at the picture I chose for this piece and wondered "Will Obama allow the flag to fly in Washington? Even when Heads of State come to visit? Won't that seem like we're overdoing it? And, even when nobody's in town, would he think it's too patriotic?" You might ask your friends that, too?

LETTER to a (lukewarm) Liberal who is STILL "undecided."
Dear, ______,
I don't want to offend you, but I've never been more serious in my life. Politics is not a "game." It has a lot more significance than who gets to play in the World Series and who ultimately wins the pennant. Our entire future and quality of life is at stake.
I hope you haven't fallen for the much-vaunted charm of The Black Knight? He is very possibly the Antichrist. We are being euchred by the powers that be (including most Republicans) into surrendering our liberty and our sovereignty to an individual strongly allied with forces whose great ambition is to achieve One World United Under a Socialistic Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Bye bye Independence. Bye bye Bill of Rights.
The causes of Civil Rights and Women's Right, etc. were cynically exploited by the perverted thinking of Marxists who began to poison our national psyche nearly a hundred years ago. Like termites they have eaten away the foundations of our identity as a people, caused us to question ourselves in ways illegitimate, and have thus rotted us from within.
Very few want to believe this, of course, but it's gotten to the point where defending liberty, our sovereignty, our language, our customs, our traditions, our Christian heritage --- even our borders --- is now seen as "bigotry," "intolerance," and "racist hate-mongering."
We will live to regret the rise of The Black Knight. His background is wholly evil.
As a friend and deeply concerned citizen I BEG you not to vote for him. The man is an out-and-out COMMUNIST at heart. So are most of the Democrats in key positions of power today. The days of JFK and Pat Moynihan are long gone. This is NOT your father's Democratic party.
Sincerely,
J.J.J., Schmidt
If Obama does manage to land the presidency, then the ensuing two years will MORE than convince recalcitrant Republicans and moderates (and probably most blue dog Dems) to put the Congress in a GOP majority!
Yes sir, checks and balances. And my right wing brethren just sat still for the signing statements and the disaster that this imperial presidency became.
The "nuclear" option that subverted Senate rules.
Never mind the Justice Dept. and Alberto Gonzales.
The Patriot Act (LMAO) and eight years of using the Constitution as toilet paper and now you wake up.
Well, maybe this can give you some insight into why people who do genuinely care about this country from the left hold the administration and its far right supporters in no little disdain.
Like Jack Nicholson said about freedom in "Easy Rider": "Talking about it and doing it are different things".
Ordinarily, I would agree with Brooke . . . but in two years, after an Obama presidency and a Congress dominated by socialists, citizens of the United Soviet States may no longer have the right to vote in congressional elections.
The question of checks and balances is only an issue among those of us who understand what that means. When an appreciable number of people think that Sarah Palin in running for Vice President under Barack Obama, it is probably safe to assume we really do not have an educated society.
In the final analysis, lacking an educated society is the ultimate victory for socialists, who have been working tirelessly for three decades to bring us to this point in time.
I groan.
Ducky, Ducky, Ducky,
Bill Clinton used his executive privilege in signing executive orders too. As has every President before him.
The "nuclear option" translated means, the Majority playing political hardball which btw, they should have done more of. The dems now have their turn, and they do it with gusto!
The Patriot Act passed with bipartisan support. Write your congressman. How pray tell has this Act directly impacted you?
Ah yes, Jack Nicholson as himself loves freedom. He can't get enough of it. Take his glowing compliments of Fidel Castro, and that communist paradise Cuba. It's so great, people are dying to get out of that hellhole. Literally.
Your problem is that for you, real life is nothing more than a movie. The drawback is, you can't leave the movie you're in.

"IF YOUR BUDDIES OR FAMILY ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA...REMIND THEM OF THIS:"
I've been saying and doing just that for a long time.
Will someone please give me an example of one innocent American (no terrorist collaborators) harmed by the Patriot Act. I have heard this drivel since it was enacted but have yet to see an example of someone that was minding their own business getting swept up in it.
If the Dems control both the legislative and executive branches, the only option will be a play out of the Democratic playbook. Using the courts.
Don't give up yet. And unfortunately Mustang is right; there may be no meaningful election in 10 or 12 if Obama has his way. We need to fight until election day and then afterwards if he wins to keep him from stealing our freedoms.
am too busy to reply, but read your terrific input.
Chuck...I'll just say this: You're right. NOt ONE>
quick question for ya z. do you believe this tidewater of support for democrats the media keeps "reminding" us of, or are they just trying to create and illusion of momentum?
PJ ...
I've never trusted polls. In sixty years, no one has ever asked me for my opinion.
But you are right; the illusion of momentum could cause disgusted folks to stay at home on 4 Nov. I hope that doesn't happen.
Thanks to alert blogger Mind of a Misfit, we at least know what interests Obama the most. A book entitled, "The post-American World."
Yep.
Meanwhile, dunderheads who think Sarah Palin is running as Obama's VP will overwhelm voting precincts to help elect a most dangerous man to the American presidency.
mustang, that book is NOT what the title sounds like. I just sent you the link to Amazon.com.
Pat...I think the media's doing this on purpose to deflate conservatives, to exasperate them and destroy their confidence. The ACORD thing works well, too "why VOTE?"
VOTE, people..it is NOT over. The media's doing this to make sure you're demoralized and decide to "just stay home".. DO NOT DO THAT.......
I will have to come to your home and personally pinch your heads off your necks. And I can do that because I AM AN HONORARY MARINE.
Semper FI!!!
and by the way..nobody has EVER called from a poll asking my opinion, either. fascinating.
Who ARE they calling?
WAKE up, folks..we all need to wake up and realize nearly EVERYONE is against our country. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!
You're right, Z, except Republicans only get one vote per living registered voter (hopefully). You just said VOTE VOTE VOTE. Only dead or some living Dems can get 3 votes per person.
