Journal Roblimo's Journal: Let's All Vote Republican in 2010 13
Face it: we're going to have at least two or three more years of economic decline, and Obama is a DINO who worries more about his image on Fox News than about doing anything that might actually help working Americans, so we might as well have a Congress that agrees with him.
Here's what we'll get if we vote in a Republican Congressional Majority:
- More local and state government layoffs as federal aid to local jurisdication stops
- "Obamacare" gets repealed despite presidential veto; Blue Double Cross and other health care insurers raise rates 50% to celebrate; Columbia/HCA and other Medicare-defrauding pain profiteers rejoice
- Less Medicaid funding; reductions in other medical care for poor people; many deaths due to lack of medical care
- No taxes at all on Paris Hilton, the Walton heirs, and other useless rich parasites, lower income taxes on speculators' proceeds than American Workers pay on their salaries (if you include FICA, which *I* do)
- National parks and other government amenities we take for granted closed or their operations drastically curtailed
- More homeless people as more of the long-term unemployed stop getting any government aid at all
- More crime as more of the long-term unemployed stop getting any government aid at all
- More BS from Republicans about "the free market" and how "fiduciary reponsibilities" are the reason their asshole profiteer buddies keep laying off American workers and sending jobs overseas even as more long-term American unemployed stop getting any government aid
- This George Carlin routine becomes the most popular video on YouTube
- Formation of local Coffee Party groups that hold mass firearm training and target practice sessions at local shooting ranges
- Massive long-term unemployment leads to wave of assassinations of Republican politicians, thieving richies, and Fox News anti-American commentators by laid-off blue-collar workers who have nothing left to lose
- Assassination fear leads to mass resignations by Republican politicians, corporate thieves, lobbyists, and other traitors
- 2012: Election of a strong Democratic majority in Congress and a "for real" Democratic President with balls, possibly Hillary Clinton -- who appoints Barrack Obama to the Supreme Court the next time there's an opening.
Yeah. Let the Republicons do their worst for the next two years. We're Americans. We're resilient. We will survive. And once we totally discredit them, we can get on with the business of moving America into the 21st Century.

Both of you can go DIAF. The only difference between her and Barack is she'll play the part more convincingly.

She is as repulsive as it gets, but if the dems actually want to keep the white house, I still believe she is their only hope. She's got the numbers, as unfortunate as that is. She could cruise through the campaign, but she has a date with the laundry man, so the show will be a grand production. The only way for the republicans to lose against Obama, if he doesn't bow out well before the primaries a la LBJ, is to throw the fight by putting in a real whacko... again. I'll even bet you a dollar on it. Your re

Nope... Kucinich has proven he's no leader after Obama read him the riot on Air Force One. No balls like the rest. It turns out he's as wimpy as he looks when the devil shows its real face [wsws.org]. A rat in sheep's clothing. He will not be missed. Nobody, but nobody's going to upset the apple cart once any of them get a taste of raw meat. That's just the nature of power in human hands.

Good! We need smaller, more accountable, and more efficient government. That would be one of the best things possible to happen to this country.
"Obamacare" gets repealed despite presidential veto
This would be even better. Worlds better. "Obamacare" will bankrupt us and -- literally -- it sets a precedent that EVEN YOU should hate: that government can force people to do whatever government wants people to do. Literally.
Blue Double Cross and other health care insurers raise rates 50% to celebrate; Columbia/HCA and other Medicare-defrauding pain profiteers rejoice
Actually, the government estimates say that the rates go up highe with "Obamacare" than without it. So, no, you're wrong on the facts.

I'm with ya, brother.. If you all can maintain even the smallest bit of decorum and lucidity up to election day, victory is a dead cert. Don't blow it this time, and hope that Obama doesn't drop out in '12, because Hillary will have her foot up yer ass, and it will be another four years of dullsville.. I want some excitement..

The Draft (Score:2)
As far as government forcing us to do things, I'd say compulsory health insurance isn't a pimple on the ass of the military draft, which was supported like mad by the licanest of Republican conservatives and disliked mainly by Democrats/liberals, and has been challenged in court over and over, and upheld over and over by the SCOTUS. And, both sadly and laughably, in July 2010 a Democratic Congressman introduced a bill to start the draft up again. Said bill will go nowhere, since the Congressman was Charles

And was also supported by many Democrats/liberals, and hated by many Republicans/conservatives.
Today the idea of it is kept alive almost solely by the left. (I hear occasionally some folks on the right say they would prefer an Israeli or Swiss system where EVERYONE serves, which is, of course, different from a draft [though still similarly offensive to liberty], but it is also just not workable in such a large country as ours.)
Let us not forget also that Obama said he wanted to force all young adults to en
