Prediction Thread

[elmerfudd]

let us all hope this happens in 2012 come November! We still need to have some riots and race wars this summer though!!!

I hope that's a joke.  If not, and you get your wish, may it be in your neighborhood.

Oh Crap! I hadn't seen his reply, for once we are a bit in agreement, though I see no reason to wish one in his neighborhood, only good people will suffer as a result.

I agree only good people will suffer.  That's why I hope it's a joke. But if he's serious and gets his wish, I want him to see if he enjoys it as much as he thought he would.

I thought it was time once again to pull up the prediction thread, seeing just how close we are to the elections.
Anything anyone would like to add at this stage of the game?

I wanted to insert a post I made when we first started the forum and I still stand behind what I said then:

Interesting you would use "New Generation".
I have been saying since Hussein was placed in office, that he would do more for the Conservative cause than anytime since Reagan.

I truly believe, he was to much, too soon and to quickly, he imposed his ideology of Marxism on a Free Country, and the people have finally seen what the dims have been trying to do to the Country for decades.

With that said, I honestly believe the left will be out of power for the next three decades, an entire generation.
They always target the young and impressionable, but this time, the youth don't like what they see; but with the Tea party movement making inroads into the GOP, we may just get rid of the RINO infection that happened when Newt was Speaker of the House.

The true test will be in 2014, will we have Conservatives in power, or more lib GOP?

You're right, when you told me this is a crucial time in the Countries history.

Definitely. I think the far left in particular will be relegated to irrelevance, as the Dems move to the center to try and stay alive.

They had their chance, and thankfully they blew it. Which isn't surprising, since they can't get anything right.

It makes me wonder if we will see a split in the party.
One moving far left as in socialist Dem party, and the other a more centrist Dem party.
The division is wide within the party, to wide a chasm for them to find common ground from which to work.

But the way I see it, no one wants what they are trying to force upon us, and in the interim, they will be sidelined by infighting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the radicals jumped over to the Green party. We'll certainly see a change in the political landscape over the next few years, even decades.

I say, let them take their time.

I was just thinking the same thing, not much difference between the green party and Obama's policies.

I predict that Mitt will take this with a 54% win, O will get 40%, and 6% will be a mix of green party/other write-ins (popular vote, I am nowhere near qualified to guess on the EC).

My prediction, is that RINOS will become an endangered species. Socialists will be damned near extinct..................at least in America.

I don't know. We assume that with the defeat of the far left, the right will gain. It's far more likely that the far left will fade into insignificance, but that the RINO's will join with the disaffected Dems to form a new centrist left party. There's no love lost between the RINO's and the right.

I'll never understand the problem with self responsibility and government out of our lives. We can take care of the elderly and the handicapped without a problem. Those that can't take care of themselves, will be taken care of.................or at least helped to take care of themselves. Much better phrasing. We are becoming a nation of lemmings.

The Depression and modern education. The Depression has always been played as a failure of private charity, personal responsibility and the need for government intervention.  What many people don't understand is that Hoover - not Roosevelt - is the one who immediately went to the government intervention model. And it didn't work - just as it didn't work when Roosevelt followed Hoover's policies, expanded on them and they still didn't work. Just as they didn't work when Johnson expanded them still further. Modern education has feed us the lie that these failed policies are responsible for American success, when in fact American success has come despite all these useless policies.

Well said Gilles.

One more prediction.
Romney 52% Hussein, mid 30 percentile range, 35 to 39% is all he will garner.
The left just hasn't got a reason to vote this year, the Independents will go to Mitten/Ryan.

I predict a week ahead for incredible claims by unbelievable people.
