For me, here are a few

The 1st and 2nd Amendments.

Low taxes.

Military superiority.

Good healthcare.

and the freedom of capitalism

well that is an opinion and a vote in the house and a vote in the senate....they will need a bit more than that..

they had control in the late 30's and late 60's and didn't accomplish much....

they have two years to be smart or they will be booted in 10

The 30's gave us the entitlement mentality we have today

The 60's gave us the 'war of poverty" that has seen about $9 trillion in wealth transfers

The late 70"s gave us the Community Reinvestment Act that led to the problems with Fannie and Freddie

Choices have consequences. Elections are choices.

If Obama wins, there WILL be consequences. They would be mostly negative.

A "packed" SC has virtually no checks and balances and can do just about anything. Which is what our Repubs-turned-Libertarians refused to acknowledge these last few months in their zeal to show their dislike for McCain and the party. If we end up with President Hussein, I expect to be saying " I warned you" many, many times.

In the 30's and 60's we had democrat majorities. We no longer have a democrat party. We will have a socialist majority with a socialist president, who will appoint a socialist SC. And it will only take a couple of years to completely undermine our government. It's the change he has told us about.

That is so incredibly unlikely it's hardly worth thinking about. What is extremely likely, and should be on everyone's mind, is an unchecked agenda-driven court, who feels free, and is free, to overrule Congress and less agenda-driven lower courts at every turn with impunity. That is the reality we could face for the next 4 years or more.

If the GOP can get their heads out of there collective asses, come sup with a plan based on conservative Ronald Reagan principles; and actually gets it out to the American people after Obama and the Dems screw things up like they will do - they can get back some of their losses in 2010.

I believe that once Obama & the Dems go mad with their power, and the American people see what big government is like, perhaps we can get an actual small government conservative in the Whitehouse again.

How can we even be asked to think about what we will miss the most? It is an unanswerable question until we see exactly what policies he puts into place.

We've heard talk of a Civilian Security Force. What form will that take? It could be a significant damper on human rights or it could simply be nothing at all. Maybe he was trying to reach out to people who support the 2nd Amendment and failed miserably. /shrug

We've heard of the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. What form will that take and will it be reinstated?

We've heard of Government run healthcare. What form will that take or will it even take form?

What haven't we heard that is on his agenda? I'm worried most about his radical connections. Where will those go in the future?

What will he do to the military and our defense?

There are so many things that could go wrong while he is President, but to date we don't really know what will happen. We also don't know that he won't do some things right when the time comes.

I think once everyone get's a taste of nanny state government, they will be ready to go back to Conservatism. But the damage will be done and it will take a generation to get rid of the $1.4 trillion in new spending (if possible)

I don't want to see an Obamanation, but it seems to me there is the entitlement mentality in a large section of Americans, many young people and the only way for them to realize how evil big goverment is, is to experience it.

The thing that sucks is those of us who do realize it have to suffer with the fools.

When discussing the will of the people, it is good to remember that most people have very little interest in learning the facts, and aren't very good at analyzing what they hear or read even if they wanted to. They are easily swayed by whatever pablum they are fed. It is on this basic tenet of life that commercial advertising is founded.

I am sure most of you on here recognized at a fairly early age that you were smarter and better informed than most of the people you knew. Well, that hasn't changed. In fact, the chasm may be even wider.

From the ability to leave your doors and windows unlocked at night, open to FREE fresh air while you sleep to the freedom to let your kids play in the park without armed guards to keep the predators at bay. All thanks to bleeding heart liberals. We have lost a hell of a lot of freedom -- freedom I knew as a kid, freedoms your kids and grandkids will never know again.

Hell, we can't even walk down a lot of city streets without risk to our lives and our property, courtesy of roving thugs that even cops are terrified to have anywhere near them.

You know something? That is not a fair statement.

MFM has stated many times that he does not foresee those kinds of things happening.

When I voted for George Bush, I did not foresee the Patriot Act or the NSA Wiretapping or half of the things George Bush did throughout his tenor. The second time around, I would not have voted for Bush except for the fact that the Dems ran Kerry who was worse than Obama if you ask me.

MFM supports his party as he should. As of right now, he doesn't believe the propaganda that the right has been doling out. The telling point would be if that propaganda proved true and he still supported Obama's actions.

Immie, I do not hate libs. If you want to see hate look at Rev MFM, Gabby, BP, and PB's posts

Sorry, but I just don't see it that way.

MFM maybe... Gabby, well, she's hiding something. I think she's a conservative trying to stir up shit. BP can be abrasive. PB is funny. Now if you want to talk liberal hate then JS is the one you should point fingers at.

Given how Obama and Dems want to jack taxes through the roof, I am sure many workers will miss their jobs

Completely untrue, McCain in fact was the tax raiser.

Immie, you said he should support his party. That simple yet all-inclusive statement doesn't leave much room for anything less, like only supporting the majority of the platform. If you say you didn't mean it that way, I will accept it, but that is what you said.

And I don't think you were wrong about it, either.

I'm not quite sure what you are getting at. What I believe is that one should support his/her party. It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything the party believes in, but it does mean supporting the party. If I agreed with everything my party (if I had one) stood for except for their stance on abortion or gun rights, I would say so, but I would still support the party.

Did that clear up what I was trying to say?

Rev MFM supports the trillions in new spending requires that his messiah Lord obama wants - and the taxing of the living hell out of everyone

He is part of the Cult of Obama and plays the role of apologist for all the lies he has told and all the crap he will do.

What of President Bush's new spending did you not approve of?

For me, here are a few

The 1st and 2nd Amendments.

Low taxes.

Military superiority.

Good healthcare.

and the freedom of capitalism

Probably my job. I work for the defense department. Once he guts it, I'll probably be left with a pink slip.

I'll also miss free speech on the radio, I'm sure it will be dead after the fairness doctrine.

Like the Republican Congress, I opposed the insane spending increases like on the Medicare Rx program, Homeland Security, amnesty, pay raises for Congress, the pork, (Bush should have vetoed many of the bills)

How about Bush's privacy abuses under the Patriot Act? You against that or does some false sense of security trump an individual's privacy?

Who knows? You think the feds are gonna fucking tell you if they did anything?

Its just the fact that they used the terrorism scare to expand their power and chip away at individual rights that is unsettling and quite frankly un-American and is one piece why Repubs are gonna get squashed today across the board.

Do you think, now that the federal government has this power, that they will relinquish it? I ask only because I can not remember a time when power was given up willingly once it was acquired.

Not sure, I think that the moniker "Patriot Act" will be erased but the power will remain under a different guise.

Think about a dedicated socialist in the Oval Office with a filibuster proof contingent of dedicated liberal Senators, and a huge House majority led by San Fran Nan.

Nightmare on PA Ave comes to mind
