Just think how much fun it would be if the power monger Hillary Clinton was let loose in the world. She is bad enough with the press following her every move. Though it is possible that there could be an event that would lead Obama to declare such an emergency that he would propose not having an election I am guessing that even he and his cabinet would have a hard time doing it. I am betting that there are enough of us out here not afraid of our own shadows that would not let that happen. We do have FOX News on our side for the time being.

I mean, this is some really paranoid stuff - the equivalent of the paranoid pap tossed out by Democrats during the Bush years. The old "October surprise" (although I guess the news cycle is so quick now, it's the "November surprise") I'm sure these have been formulated into some snappy axioms but there's a few rules related to speculations like this - the main ones being that the government in general isn't smart enough to pull this kind of stuff off, and if they were they still wouldn't be good enough to keep it secret. I'd love to see (for instance) a comparison of the vibrancy of free press in Hitler's Germany near the time of this fire compared with what we have now Finally, you've violated Godwin's Law - simply by mentioning Hitler the conversation is doomed into a destiny of pointlessness Stick to verifiable facts, and check the level on that paranoia / sense of persecution. It assumes a unified coordinated enemy that I at least don't see. Its more of a shambling zombie, really. Very different thing, needs different rhetorical weapons. Are you serious?

Alive, his approval rating and the image of the party will continue to plummet. If he were to be martyred, public support for the liberal agenda (and his augmentation of the Bush regime) could grow in the name of his "legacy", etc. So I pray he physically survives his term.
