Oh my.
Oh oh my.
It's too bad Sigmund Freud isn't around to read this.

How long will it take for conservatives to be de-programed after the election?
There are seriously still a lot of conservatives running around believing all the BS that has gotten pumped into their heads via the AM talk radio circuit and Fox News. After their coming crushing loss this November, they're either going to have to ween themselves off this stupid propaganda that fills their heads -- or keep losing elections.
Their views are unpopular, and their leaders are already widely discredited. Their party has no platform except for hate and anger. All the angst and hate they have in them has been directed at "weak" liberals that "can't do anything" and that are "out of the mainstream".
But when liberals take control of the government and start to turn things around, are we going to see their heads explode? How will they react to liberalism being the mainstream? How long will they go on bleating about the success of conservative principles, even though they have been smacked down in defeat? One month? One year? Five years?
Honestly, these people are so divorced from reality that I think de-programing may take a lifetime.
Oh my. This belongs in college textbooks on psychology and psychiatry.

4. Please! Who "deprogrammed" them when Bill Clinton was president?

6. They will just lie dormant until the next election.
They are not going anywhere, they will just lay low until it is time to elect another president.

11. They'll be nothing but louder and I expect the situation to get more critical.
Obama will win. There will be a honeymoon for about a year as Obama will give great unifying speeches and make only minor policy changes that don't rankle anyone. DU will thin out.
FOX will exist to keep Obama in line. When he mentions actually going forth with reviewing the executive orders, FOX will whip up a fever of hatred and MSNBC and CNN will jump on the bandwagon to keep their ratings up.
Obama will kill the issue either by saying that "he is only making inquiries into reviewing executive orders" or he will review the executive orders and proclaim them to be, in his estimation "against what he understands to be American values in some cases" but "on the whole within the bounds of law."
He will publically promote the rebuilding of infrastructure but will take us further into Afghanistan, and possibly ratchet up rhetoric against Pakistan, which will be a disaster, and I believe that is where the public will lose faith in him. Or he may be the one told to pull the trigger on Iran.
Nothing will change but the dominant rhetoric. Obama will be supported by CFR until they like someone better. When they do they will give the FOX NEWS crew what they want. Obama will be considered a great progressive even though he will have expanded the war, hobbled public services through an increase in faith-based funding, continued with union busting free-trade agreements and will have appointed an abortion moderate to the SCOTUS. Extraordinary renditions will continue, although Obama will speak out against them. Torture will continue, although he will talk tough against it with some beautiful words. That's my prediction anyhow.
My question isn't what will become of conservatives. My question is what will become of us 15 years into "the war on terror".
By the way, what is "an abortion moderate"?

12. I'm going to enjoy the hissy fits they will be having
After their 6 years of arrogance from 2000-2006.
their statements will become more and more irrational as they shift the blame to Obama for all the things they currently blame Clinton for.

I for one think that Obama may very well win the Presidency.......I also think that McCain may too.
It is called reality.

Not happening, not for me anyway. You've taken it too far. There is no unifying with a group of people who have spent eight years running this country down, ridiculing the beliefs upon which it was founded, disparaging and slandering our best and bravest under fire in the field and mocking my Lord and Saviour.
Not even the old standard of our country coming under attack, our facing a common enemy, could draw me closer to you, because we've already come under attack and instead of presenting a unified front, your response was to blame the U.S. and give aid and comfort to the enemy. You sympathized with them and cheered despots from other countries who shared your hate for the U.S. I have no desire to unify with you and all the flowery speeches in the world will not change that.

You know, the Obamaite primitives, and even the primitives in general, have a really odd way of looking at things.
Suppose the worst--the absolutely abysmal worst--were to happen, and Barry "Goldwater" Obama wins the presidency, the Democrats pick up every single seat in the Senate up for election currently held by a Republican, and the House is 435 Democrats.
Suppose that were to happen.
What would happen to decent and civilized people?
The Obamaite primitives, and even the primitives in general, have this really silly idea we'd evaporate.
Alas for the primitives, we'll always be here.

The little goons are beginning to actually believe their own bullshit - instead of just saying it while knowing deep down it is really bullshit. I think Obama Hussein has them dazzled.
I have some reality for the DUmbasses. Take any poll you want. The worthless national polls or the twisted state polls and subtract. Subtract 5 to 8 points off of Hussein's numbers. That is a modest estimate of how many people are lying when they tell pollsters they will vote for him. I promise you. Obama Hussein isn't anywhere near the White House. He is a joke.
The press will always do what they always do where democrats are concerned. It isn't reality. Was John Kerry, the man who was without a doubt going to unseat President Bush, not a lesson to anyone?

Obama has HIMSELF dazzled. He's actually starting to believe his own hype. Proof once again that the Bible really is timeless...false prophets abound.

I have never listened to Rush or any other talk radio. I don't get FOX NEWS. I believe I was born the way I am and 62 years of reality has enforced it.
I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE "DE-PROGRAMMER" THE MOONBATS SEND TO DO ME.

You'll be okay.
It's when the primitives get de-programmed that there's going to be a lot of yelling and screaming and blood on the floor.
It'll be a great lot of fun, watching.
