For those who do not intend to vote

[willy]

This a post by a man named Steve Mcann, for those who feel Romney is not their man and do not intend to vote, please read and reconsider.
This is the state of your nation, and the consequences will be dire.

Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans
The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860. This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind.

The overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America" in his second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party office holders.

The most significant accomplishment of Obama's first term is to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial presidency.

During the first two years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually unlimited power to the executive branch.

The birth of multi-thousand page laws was not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by Obama appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written laws and enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress would subsequently write.

For example, in the 2,700 pages of Obama Care there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they "may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines." In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once Obama Care is fully operational in 2014. This is the reason full implementation was put off till after the 2012 election, knowing full well he could never be reelected if America knew the FULL effect on their lives.
The "DEATH PANEL" Palin mentioned was in the "Stimulus" Package so it would not be detected


.
The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled Barack Obama and his radical associates.

Additionally, the Obama administration has, through its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created laws out of whole cloth.The Environmental Protection Agency, Formed by James Earl Carter, a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others. The original intent of the EPA was "Energy independence."

None of these extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless stopped in its early stages.

It is clearly the mindset of this administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be ignored after they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in the current Congress.

Additionally, Barack Obama knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing to use Chicago style political tactics.

The stalemate between the Executive and Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow leftists.

The most significant power Congress has is the control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those dependent on government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering their ability to control the administration through spending constraints.

Further, this administration has shown contempt for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more blatant as he will not have to be concerned with re-election.

Who will be there to enforce the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one. Barack Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over the American people.

Many Republicans and conservatives dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are instead focused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated. The nation is not dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds during his first term, he does not intend to work with Congress either Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power he has usurped or been granted.

The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However, knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check on each other.

What they could not imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them

Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal. All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

And THAT is why you MUST vote.

[spareparts]

there's a lot to take notice of here, the appointment of czars and department heads that have the ability to go around congress and the senate is a direct contradiction of the constitution. Funny how very little of this shows up in the press. I keep hearing every one blaming congress for all the mess we are in right now, but very little is said about Ried drawing a hard line in the senate, refusing to pass any thing that didn't originate from the Democrats. Boehnor is taking it from all sides, being blamed for failed bills to the senate, and being blamed for being too liberal from the tea Party congress. We coming up on the 'taxargeddon" again the media is going to put 100% of the blame on Congress, even though th stopping point is the senate. Its going to be a perfect time for O to use his executive powers to bypass congress and the senate to "fix" the problem and appear the hero. Take notice, the power of the people is diminishing rapidly.



On a second note, the price of 5.56 doubled last month


I can take my tinfoil hat off now

get real tired of always getting to vote for the lesser of the evils. It would be great if a decent human being was allowed to serve instead of these douchebags the powers that be and the media have served up for us. Ya'll can line up at the slop trough again if ya'll want. this cracker's bout to runnoft the farm.

really sucks, this used to be a great country.

I fully understand peoples disgust with choosing the lesser of 2 evils, it turned my guts to vote for McCane last time. The trouble with voting anymore is it is like picking between a bear and a wolf to eat you. They will both kill you and consume you. Problem is though, one of them WILL maul you and finish you off. You have no say in it, so this is where the lesser of 2 evils really burns most people up and leads to many saying they will not vote. Problem is though, if you don't vote, you have no grounds to complain about being eaten alive by both of em. And your not just affecting yourself, but all of us. Most here know who my pick is, but I hate to say it I doubt his strategy will work in August. I REALLY question Romney's motives myself, and wonder how he came into this position with the backers he has. But he IS the lesser of 2 evils, and if it comes down to it he will probably get my vote just to try and keep the current commander in thief out of office.

I completely agree with you about the lesser of two evils. However, in this case I really don't think that Romney is the lesser of the two evils. I really think he's the better man. He's intelligent to a fault, a proven businessman, with a resume of accomplishments in his life that I'd love to have. It's true, I don't agree with everything he stands for, but then again, I've never agreed with everything that any politician has stood for. There's always been faults in everyone, past or present. He may not have been my first choice for the Republican candidate but he's certainly qualified to sit in the White House. Much more so than the imposter that's sitting there right now.

Biggest obstacle Romney will face is ROMNEYCARE, it is what obamacare is patterned after. He is nothing more than obama lite. I feel like we are getting screwed even harder this time than in 08.

Ferm...as long as large numbers continue to tow the line of one party or another, a choice of two evils is all we'll have. When we start seeing the propaganda spewed from both directions for the smoke screen that it is, protecting those hiding behind it and granting rich & corporate America access to the levers of government control and start seeing the path back to a country governed BY THE PEOPLE, we'll keep on living by the whim of the powers that run this country now...we have to come together and stop all the party bickering that keeps US divided...and THEM in control.

I could not agree with you more!!!

That is precisely what the Tea Party movement is all about. It's a pure of the People, by the People, for the People movement, uncorrupted by big business or politics. Their aim is simply to put into office those candidates that truly represent the will of the people.

I glad to hear you agree in principle...but what I'm talkin about is left coming together w/right...conservatives talkin to liberals and I haven't seen much of that inside the TP...And I don't place any blame for that anywhere...my contention is at present we are pitted against each other...one ideology AGAINST the other and that's the way those in power want it...they are SAFE w/status quo as long as we are in the trenches dukin' it out w/ea/other...now it's us against us...we'll never regain power until it's us against THEM...
