What If It's A Romney Landslide?
Stolen from Faultline USA
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
For the past few days, I've had a gnawing feeling way down, deep inside, where my intuition resides. It has been growing in strength by the day. What is it? It is a growing certainty that Romney is going to win the election and the Republican Party is going to clean the Democratic Party's clock!
I'm a "news junkie." It is required if you are going to commit to the life of a commentator, or opinion writer. I read newspapers, back to front, page by page, every day -- plus broadcast news and Internet news -- from all over the world -- in a near ceaseless stream of input.
What do I base my sudden insight on the elections results upon?
Well, if you have listened to broadcast news reports over the past few weeks you have noticed how often the word "narrative" is spoken. It has been used multiple times to describe the Mainstream Media's slant on this election cycle. And I do mean "slant" --as in bias.
A narrative is, simply put, a story. The story can be true or false, indeed, the story can be anything you want it to be defined by the manner in which you string together events that comprise the story, or narrative, you are telling.
Throughout the current Presidential Campaign cycle, the Mainstream Media's narrative has been that Obama is winning -- in a landslide -- and poor Romney is hopelessly doomed to lose the coming election.
It has bothered me for months that what I am seeing, hearing, and witnessing, simply does not align, with that which the media insists is the truth. Either my eyes and ears are lying -- or -- the media is lying.
Early on in the election cycle, many republicans were hesitant to cast their lot with the Romney camp. Much of that changed with the end of the primary season. When Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate, many conservatives, who had been hanging back, interpreted that as a sure sign that Romney did, indeed, mean to make a bold assault on America's economic problems and would do his utmost to get this country working and moving forward again. They flocked to Romney's side.
Then came the debates and the American public got to meet Romney. What they saw was a man who looked and sounded Presidential and who was obviously very smart, capable, and able, and was not the least bit cowed by Obama's rhetorical skills nor the President's stage presence. In fact, Romney outshone Obama on the stage and in the debates.
Slowly, the veil the MsM had drawn cross Mitt Romney was ripped and shredded and cast aside. Suddenly, America saw a man who was not promising pie in the sky. In fact, if anything, he was offering blood, sweat, and tears, much as Winston Churchill had offered many decades before to the Brits. He convinced Americans that America could be saved and was worth saving and he would place himself in the front lines of the effort to rescue America and set her aright. No grandiose schemes -- just hard work with the payoff to come for our children and grandchildren.
Then there is the oft-discounted Christian vote. Talk about "righteous anger!" America's vast community of Christian voters are angrier than I have ever seen them. They are holding nationwide prayer vigils -- lasting forty days and forty nights -- right up to Election Day. What are they praying for? They are petitioning The Almighty to help them send Obama packing and to place Romney in the Oval Office on January 20th.
The left can laugh, snicker, belittle, and make fun of the Evangelical community all they like. But the fact is, there exists no more powerful force on the planet than the combined prayers of millions of God's people imploring their God to intervene and help them save their country. Combine the prayers of millions of Catholics to those of the Evangelicals and miracles WILL HAPPEN.
Christians will go to the polls in record numbers November 6th -- and they will be voting their faith. Godless Marxism raised its ugly head in the government of their beloved country. Like matter and anti-matter Christians and Marxists cannot exist in the same space. America's Christian community has girded its loins for battle and is on the march.
Then there is this: Just days ago we learned that for the first time in history-- republicans voters now outnumber democrat voters in America. What happened? Obama happened!
A slow-moving groundswell of support has been rolling in from the hinterlands, the heart of America, as they embraced Romney's approach to saving their blessed homeland.
I have come to believe, over the past few days, that that groundswell has quietly become a tsunami that is about to crash over the Obama encampment next week.
The souring on Obama was complete when his incompetence in the Benghazigate affair in Libya that cost the lives of four Americans became known in all its ugliness. The lies, the deceit, the duplicity, and the condescension of the Obama Administration toward the American people was the last straw for many who may have been undecided before Benghazi.
The MsM's "narrative" has now been compromised. The wall the Mainstream Media so carefully constructed around their hero has been breached! It's crumbling along its length while the democrats, socialists, Marxists, progressives, and communists who have taken refuge behind its seeming invincibility are now exposed and vulnerable.
Voters are not buying their narrative anymore. They now see it for the barnyard "step-around" that it really is.
"American Exceptionalism" is about to reassert itself and it is going to accomplish that feat right here on our own shores -- FIRST.
We told our readers in 2010 that we would need two consecutive elections to win back our country's government. THIS is election number two.
If the landslide I now expect does, indeed, happen, chances are the GOP will win back the US Senate, as well. If not, it will be extremely close. Count on it.
Now, it is not in my nature to be an optimist, nor a pessimist. I pride myself on being a realist, and I have even been accused of philosophical pragmatism. I say all that to say this: Now is not the time to relax, nor relent. Even though victory is in sight we must maintain the momentum, apply the pressure, continue the attack, until the flag of liberty is once again unfurled and snapping briskly in the free air over a free people.
From mansions to mobile homes, Americans are fired-up, motivated by anger at the abuse dealt their country and their country's constitution by the Obama Administration and they are determined to take their country back.
I suspect there will be shock and amazement amongst the Mainstream Mediaand their leaders on the political left in America -- and abroad -- Tuesday night.
OK. So, Romney wins and it's not a landslide? It will still be a victory worth having an extra national day of thanksgiving in November.

What If There Is NO President by January 20th
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
It COULD happen. At least, SOME of the political experts are saying it COULD happen.
I think America should be prepared for every sort of political gymnastics conceivable come Tuesday, November 6th, 2012.
Battalions of lawyers are set to spring into action if there is a hint that Obama may lose. Planning and preparations for such an eventuality have been in progress since the early days of the Obama Administration.
Tying the election up in the courts is the plan. And these people are serious!
So what happens if, indeed the US election is tied up in the judicial system come noon on January 20th, 2013?
"In cases where a President has not been chosen by January 20 or the President-elect "fails to qualify," the Vice President-elect becomes Acting President on January 20 until there is a qualified President. If the President-elect dies before noon January 20, the Twentieth Amendment states the Vice President-elect becomes President. In cases where there is no President-elect or Vice President-elect, the Amendment also gives the Congress the authority to declare an Acting President until such time as there is a President or Vice President. At this point the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 would apply, with the office of the Presidency going to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, followed by the President pro tempore of the Senate and various Cabinet officers." SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-elect_of_the_United_StatesOK. But how exactly is the President-elect and Vice-President-elect decided, I mean, legally decided. And here it gets cloudy and open to all sorts of legal challenges.
There are at least two schools of thought on that.
"Some commentators doubt whether an official President- and Vice President-elect exist prior to the electoral votes being counted and announced by Congress on January 6, maintaining that this is a problematic contingency lacking clear constitutional or statutory direction. Others assert that once a majority of electoral votes has been cast for one ticket, then the recipients of these votes become the President- and Vice President-elect, notwithstanding the fact that the electoral votes are not counted and certified until the following January 6." SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-elect_of_the_United_StatesThat's one interpretation.
The other interpretation is a bit different:
"It will be noted that the committee uses the term "President elect" in its generally accepted sense, as meaning the person who has received the majority of electoral votes, or the person who has been chosen by the House of Representatives in the event that the election is thrown into the House. It is immaterial whether or not the votes have been counted, for the person becomes the President elect as soon as the votes are cast." SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-You can see holes in this process resembling swiss cheese!elect_of_the_United_StatesSee, our constitution along with our electoral process was set up originally by and for honorable people. Our national forefathers never thought their country would devolve into the slick, slimy, legalistic swamp of unscrupulous, power-hungry, power-grabbing, brokers of political influence hell bent on saving America for Marxism.
I don't mean to say our national forefathers were saints. They most assuredly were NOT. But, the sorts of underhanded political shenanigans common today were thought beyond the pale in the early days of the US.
As the days go by and we draw closer to election day, I am beginning to wonder if, perhaps, we ought to be prepared for a slog through the swamp that is the judicial system in America today BEFORE we have a President.
I continue to remind myself that the polls can be manipulated and there can be no doubt that the mainstream media is doing everything it can to hype Obama and make him look good for the voters.
We all saw how the MSM attacked Romney for observing that Obama's response to the Muslim attacks on our consulates/embassies was "disgraceful." Suddenly THE story was not Obama's disgraceful response, but Romney's "attack" on Obama for making the disgraceful response. See how they turned the story on its head? That is the way it is done.
We Americans are in deep, deep, trouble. Something has to give. Americans who actually understand what's going on in America today understand there are two ways this problem may be solved. The first, of course, is the election. If that fails, as some predict, then all bets are off. I don't even want to think about the other option. But -- an observant American can already see that both the citizens AND the government are quietly preparing for option two.
These are, indeed, perilous times for America, times, as Thomas Paine said, "that try men's souls." It has become clear that Americans who love freedom and liberty have no intention of going "gently (nor quietly) into that good night." (With apologies to Dylan Thomas) There WILL be "rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Liberty's light, once outed, may never be lit again.

Does Anyone Believe That These Men Are Happy With Biden?
I have heard of many stunts done to get someone vote for a candidate. Kissing babies, going to Jerusalem to pray at the Kotel, eat everything from pizza to pretzels. But this is the first time a sitting Vice President, let alone a candidate for high office, ever courted the "Biker" vote.
Today it was the Shaddowmen tomorrow it will be the Hell's Angels? And what self-respecting biker would be caught drinking out of a straw.
I guess the Obama Campaign is scared enough to reach out to the Biker Community. But Biden doesn't really fit in. I can't picture him or Obama on a Hog riding into the sunset. Can you? And why do I feel they are trying to reach out too far?
It is fun though to look at the faces of the bikers. The look of utter contempt is priceless.
Vice President Joe Biden got caught in a stunning photo with a female biker sitting on his lap.
The Associated Press snapped the shot at Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio on Sunday.
A White House pool report says the bikers may be part of a group called the "Shaddowmen." No details were available on their real names or what discussion led to the lap incident.
Some observers were quick to joke that Biden is starting to resemble the working-class parody Biden seen in The Onion.
Earlier in the diner visit, Biden made banter with biker Jeff Cook.
"Can I borrow one of your bikes? They don't let me ride anymore."
"Probably not," Cook said.
"Probably not," the Veep responded, according to the pool report.
