Prediction Thread

I think this scenario repeats itself over and over again in local races...

Not so much in Louisiana. The Democrat party down here is quickly approaching a point of irrelevance

Watch what happens to them after 2012 elections, when many of them will be filing unemployment papers.

Their entire party will suddenly become irrelevant. :))

My prediction:

The House loses 4 GOP seats, but is still in GOP control.  The Senate switches as well, with 3 seats changing, giving Senate Majority Leader McConnell a 1 vote majority.  But President Obama still hangs in there, with some election "irregularities" in a few key places that ultimately left him in the White House, narrowly defeating a Perry/Cain ticket.

I don't even want to think what troubles election "irregularities" would bring. I don't like the idea of shootouts at the polls - which have happened before. I don't think people will accept any ballots found in car trunks. No matter who wins, the margin has to be so large one side can't accuse the other of cheating. A government felt to be illegitimate by a large portion of the population could turn out to be a disaster.

Normally I'd chalk this one up to wishful thinking, but I know the left will be out on their collective socialist asses for quite sometime.

This thread will be interesting after the elections and if I'm wrong on my predictions, then it will be because the libs stole many local elections and closely contested ones to court.
In their mind, why not, they have everything to gain, they have no shame.

Libs are a self destructive species...

It has. We noticed.

I wish they were better at it.  ;)

Mysteriously there will be some scandal or family problem  involving obama and he wont be able to accept another term.... Hillary will then step in and accept her parties nomination.

I agree, A.M.  I do not believe Obama is going to be the candidate for Patriots and Conservatives to beat in November 2012.

Remember what they said about Bush: " He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple".
Well when we start talking about sense of entitlement, no one even comes close to Obozo. Combine that with the fact that he doesn't really like campaigning (pressing the flesh and meeting people, as opposed to giving speeches) and he is really out of touch with the national mood. I believe he thinks all he will need is one more speech and the public will "love" him again. He will have to be physical kept from running and he may not leave the White House without a gun battle. Besides, last I checked Hilarious was his Secretary of State. One year isn't enough time to wash that from the public memory.

I liked to call Bush "Not so curious George".  :P

He pissed me off with Medicare part D and his permissive attitude towards illegals.

And all that damned pork and the stimulus too.

And let's not forget Bush's position on the assualt weapons ban as well.

Yeah, Bush was very much out of the mold of the conservative that learned to survive politically in the era when anything other then left wing ideas were a tough sell. Rove was also out of the same mold. Cheney and Rumsfeld were very much the exceptions neither giving lip service to left wing ideas nor much respect to lefties in general although both knew there were certain issues that, if you popped off incorrectly, would result in you taking a hammering so they learned to go quiet on those.

The times they are a changin' though which is why Obama had such a tough time getting Obamacare through a Congress which should have made it a slam-dunk.

I agree, A.M.  I do not believe Obama is going to be the candidate for Patriots and Conservatives to beat in November 2012.

Just to be clear, you don't think Obama will run in 2012, correct?

Assuming the answer to that question's a "yes", why do you think he won't run in 2012?

In evidence to my claim about the left losing power for an entire generation.
Here it is folks, starting with the children.
I figured Red was an appropriate. :))

  U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, interrupted an interview with a reporter Saturday in Charleston to speak with two elementary-school age children that she quickly labeled "little Democrats."
"We are leaving no stone unturned," she said once she returned to the interview.
Wasserman Schultz and the rest of the Democratic Party will have to turn over quite a few stones to make headway in South Carolina, which has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter in 1976 - 35 years ago.

With due respect for parochial or private schools which choose to puts it students into uniforms, it doesn't take much imagination to foresee a day when U.S. students will all wear a public-school uniform.

They'll be told it removes class distinctions. Their parents will be told it creates and saves jobs, making those clothes. And wearing those uniforms, those same kids will watch classroom "educational programming," pushing nakedly partisan leftist politics --- and paid for by the same taxes now gouged out of those too intelligent to put their child in any public school.

Those kids will eat three meals a day at school. They'll be entertained and "educated" by unionized racketeers who will fight tooth and nail for the mind and soul of that child.

Of course that child will never hear of union violence or corruption. Of course that child will never hear one ill word against the federal government, and how the moldy old U.S. Constitution absolutely MUST give way to European-style control. These silly divisions of power like the 10th Amendment, for example, just HAVE to go.

Twelve years, minimum, six hours or more per day. That's a long time to teach them how to love Big Brother.
