One thing is becoming absolutely clear. On November 5, fully half of the populace of the USA will be disappointed, dismayed, deranged or even down-right angry by the outcome of the 2008 Presidential Election. For everyone to come together to rally around the newly minted President will be virtually impossible. Many will look back on Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) and the last eight years of the his presidency with faded but fond memories of what will become to be considered as the last civil discourse in the political arena.
Should Barack Hussein Obama become No. 44, the left will gloat with unmitigated delight and the MSM will celebrate his every utterance and extol each of his thoughtful pauses between his ahs, uhs and ums. Conservatives will be crestfallen and mourn before getting back to the business of being Conservatives again. Talk Radio and right-leaning blogs will console and try to energize the dispirited by centering on the 2010 Congressional elections and the importance nominating strong Conservatives with the focus of getting out the vote to actually elect them. Instead of a comprehensive and workable energy policy for the American people, the Fairness Doctrine will be in the forefront of legislation in a Democratic led Congress along with the prosecution of George Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes.
The election of John Sydney McCain as POTUS will be challenged by the left with allegations that the fix was in. Charges of racism will ring from coast to coast. Anarchy could be threatened and the National Guard put on alert -- just in case. Conservatives will be thankful the Obama bullet was dodged but will obsess that McCain may lean across the aisle one time too many to the Dems in order to appear inclusive and fair as the leader of all Americans. The MSM will eschew his honest attempts at bipartisanship and call him old and out of touch. Border security will be the prevailing issue on Talk Radio and in the blogs.
The ideologies of these two candidates are polar opposites and the country is more divided now than ever. Since the days of the hanging chads and the Supreme Court decision awarding George Bush the decisive victory in 2000, the progressives, the left and the MSM have been angry and out for revenge. Their hate is driven by their ignorance and denial of the facts. They have been running a relentless campaign to defeat all things Republican/Conservative. It is foolhardy to believe that we will all be united as a people behind the man who will be our next Commander in Chief.
Much will happen between now and election day. The final result could be a blowout or once again, decided by the Electoral College. No one knows what will happen in the future. Whatever the outcome, we will have to live with it.
