A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery

The Spectacle Blog
From the left, Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake — very liberal, but very very smart; my favorite liberal blogger — explains 10 reasons Dems may not be doomed. And at The American Thinker and also at Red State, Ed Lasky and “LaborUnionReport” respectively echo and further develop my theme from this morning about the coming wave of attempted vote fraud. And at Pajamas Media, the indispensable J. Christian Adams updates us on the ongoing disenfranchisement of military voters. Finally, the AP reports on the coming wave of legal battles that could block official results long apst Election Day. Uh…. and guess who will have an edge in those battles? The folks who run the Justice Department. Scary, huh? The good news for conservatives is that, according to AP, the RNC really is lawyering up, as well it should. This could get very, very ugly. And it could provide exactly the sort of crisis that Barack Obama and fellow Alinskyites like to create, because in a crisis, he figures he can seize more power by claiming to be restoring order.
The only way to inoculate the body politic against all this is for conservatives to win elections by big margins, not small ones. Otherwise, a discouraging spectacle of crisis politics might commence.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Elections are mostly a state and local issue, not something that the Department of Justice has control over.

Indeed, it comes under the heading of States' RIGHTS.
57 States' RIGHTS to be exact per constraints to BHOs' doj!
I.E. - the 10th Amendment umbrella to parachuting Federales seeking incursions.

James O'Keefe is an American hero for outing the thoroughly corrupt ACORN. Perhaps his courageous efforts of the past year will help the republicans on November 2.

In normal times, these concerns would be a worry.
It's not normal times. Want proof? Look at New Jersey and Chris Christie - NJ is about as corrupt as it gets...
The vote will be staggering. I've been on the ground in a few places, been connected to the Tea Party - prepare to be amazed...

First, to say that a liberal is 'smart' seems to be sort of oxymoronish, me thinks. Second, after EL CHOSEN ONE'S reference to possibly 'hand-to-hand combat' being the only solution for liberals/Democrats, if/when a Republican congress results; I'd say that there are maybe only two solutions for our current administrative dilemma-------[1] IMPEACHMENT and [2] A MILITARY COUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
