A generic Republican candidate earns the highest level of support to date against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up for the week ending Sunday, September 4. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds the generic Republican earning 49% support, while the president picks up 41% of the vote. Who is this Mr. Generic and how can we get him to start campaigning?

If the economy doesn't get substantially better by November 2012, a parrot repeating: "jobs, jobs, jobs" will be able to beat Obama.
Too bad you folks can't get this "Generic" guy or gal to run... You're stuck with these Loons instead... [snicker]
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
And we all know it won't get 'substantially better', even Owe-bama's mouthpiece at the Whitehouse admits as much. Thats why we're getting the violent rhetoric, the 'go to hell' stuff. They know whats about to happen, and there simply isn't a damn thing they can do about it. The only real questions are 1)How much damage before Owe-bama is removed from office in January of 2013...and 2) Will the coming landslide be large enough to give the GOP a filibuster 'Super Majority' for the first two years of a Republican Whitehouse. While I worry about that overwhelming power imbalance, the fact is its the only way to undo the damage wrought to date by these idiots on the economy and budget quickly (in political terms). The other thing I've been pondering is which cities will burn the night Owe- bama gets fired 'for cause' by We the People.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Prediction: Race riots and general chaos will cause the imposition of Martial Law before the '12 elections. The elections will be canceled. You heard it here, first.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ I think it will be exactly 24 hours AFTER the general election.

Race riots and general chaos will cause the imposition of Martial Law before the '12 elections. The elections will be canceled. You heard it here, first. And then the process we have been following for over 60 years will finally be complete.
I've been around race riots, marches, rallies, protests and uprisings by the black communities since the late fifties, early sixties, have you ever noticed they don't leave areas they are familier with, they will not wonder into neighborhoods, or parts of the country where they know the citizens might be armed to the teeth?
You predicted this for the Summer of 2010...

Given the trajectory the D Statist faction is currently on, their only chance is to create mass civil unrest BEFORE the election. Otherwise they stand to lose power to the R Statists for a generation at least. No one can predict exactly what will happen, of course. But I don't see the D brand statists giving up that much power peacefully. And having chaos AFTER an election would not serve their ends. Who knows - maybe we'll luck out and the Mayan Calendar will turn out to be right after all.

He probably would have if it were possible, but he didn't have the race card to play, plus 10 - 15 percent unemployment. I'd be checking all the fire extinguishers at the Reichstag if I were you . . .

None on a large enough scale to boast about..lol, they were ususally ended not long after they began, lots of looting, breaking windows, dragging people from their cars and beaten, but they never really wondered too far from their own communities. If you lived and attended school anywhere near downtown, it was nearly impossible to get a decent education, there were many, many sit-ins, protesting this, or that. I suppose the riots that occured wern't large enough to report, racial tension was high then, and it still is. To get away from this I moved to Los Angeles in 69', imagine that? LMBO!! The only riot I've seen reported on happened in 2001. The 2001 Cincinnati riots were the largest urban disorders in the United States since the Los Angeles riots of 1992. The four days of rioting were a reaction to the fatal shooting in Cincinnati, Ohio of Timothy Thomas, a 19-year-old black male, by Steven Roach, a white police officer, during an on-foot pursuit by several officers. The riots began in earnest at nightfall. A group which was peacefully protesting in police presence near City Hall was dispersed and elements reformed on the residential outskirts of downtown. They moved into the business area of downtown Cincinnati and rioted. There was violence against unarmed citizens who were in the area by the rioters. Businesses were looted, storefronts damaged, and small fires were set. The police's reaction was to guide the nucleus of the crowd by forming human walls to prevent the crowd from spreading while not fully encircling it allowing it to progress in the opening allowed. There were several injuries reported, none were serious, and some gunshots were reported. The news of the rioting spread quickly and simultaneous riots broke out throughout Cincinnati suburbs of negligible damage. The streets were deserted in the early morning hours and businesses that were not damaged returned to as normal operations as possible. Throughout the next day, downtown suffered a considerable loss of productivity, worker attendance and commerce. Many companies made sure their employees left the facilities before later hours to ensure they were safe from a possible resurgence of violence. During the work day, a small contingency of protesters gathered between the residential and business boundaries of downtown, shouting, disrupting traffic in a very confined area (of approximately 2 blocks on one street) but remained peaceful. There was a high concentration of police in that bordered area with pairs of police stationed throughout downtown on various street corners. Even with the police presence (and some suggest due to the police presence), when darkness hit the streets the riots returned. The violence the second day was widespread. More incidents outside of the downtown area were reported. Even though there was the presence of some black community leaders (church congregation leaders, non-business organization leaders, etc.) before nightfall they were unable to keep the crowd from becoming violent. Again, the riots ended in the early morning hours and the next day, undamaged (and some damaged) businesses reopened, but with considerably less commerce and attendance.
The President has no authority whatsoever to declare Martial Law or to take charge of the National Guard for domestic purposes. Only governors can do this. The President has no authority whatsoever to cancel or even postpone an election. If the Marxists in the Obama Administration even think about doing something like this, it will destroy the Democrat Party for more than a generation.
I know about the 2001 riots - we discussed them at length at PipeBomb at the time - and that isn't what i asked about. What race riots do you remember when your were 5?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Bzzzzt... TITLE 10 US Code Subtitle A PART I CHAPTER 15 § 332 Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority: Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

Then I don't know what it is you're looking for, or are you just interested in calling me a liar? I also don't know what your talking about 'Pipebomb'? Anyway, I lived through these troubled times whether you believe me or not, if you don't believe me, that's your problem, walk it off!
Yep, and they know better than to screw around with suburban police departments who are concerned about being sacrificed to appease a large black community. Thats why the riots stayed in those large urban areas each time. Thats one of the reasons I moved out of Cincy four months before the riots there in 2000.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
That would only assure not only a landslide for the GOP, but a super majority in the Senate. JMHO.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Same here, and I've never thought about moving back, but I did move farther away than you did..you're still closer than I'd want to be. &;-)
Actually, he does have that ability, JW. He declares 'an insurrection'. Bush came 'this close' to doing so when Kathleen Blanco froze up like a deer caught in the headlights in the wake of Katrina. He writes about it in his book, Doug Brinkley (hardly a Bush/Republican supporter) noted the same in his book 'The Great Deluge'. Hell, even Ray Nagin said as much, including he thought Blanco's inability to make ANY decision led to countless deaths...course that was Ray Nagin talkin lol
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
This is what you stated: I've been around race riots, marches, rallies, protests and uprisings by the black communities since the late fifties, early sixties. Again, what race riots were you around when you were 5? It's not a hard question.

(chuckle) Good luck getting truckloads of rioting young black youts through Clarmont County to me, then 15 miles into the heart of the county infamous for the Brown County Militia' which is in fact a very real entity here. I honestly don't know anyone here that doesn't own a selection of firearms.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Most of the Katrina Deaths occurred because of what Dumb Dumb claimed no-one ever considered...the levees being breached...levees that saw their federal maintenance funding cut in 2003 and 2004.

Martial law usually refers to military control of the country. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the Army, Air Force and National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States. Only state governors can use the National Guard in a law enforcement capacity.
I honestly don't know anyone here that doesn't own a selection of firearms. I love the area we live, we are at the crossroads of 3 counties, close to 3 small cities surrounding us, but still in rural areas, strangers would be totally lost, strangers looking for trouble would be toast! &;-)
...unless otherwise authorized by Congress or the Constitution... That said, PCA is a proscription of the military being used to enforce local laws...

Only state governors can use the National Guard in a law enforcement capacity. I understand what the various laws, and the Constitutional powers say JW. Bottom line is if any POTUS declares 'insurrection' its moot. The Federal government would then effective immediately upon the declarartion, federalize the state's national guard. My only point is actually, yes POTUS, any POTUS, can do that if they desire. Lets hope none ever do, eh?
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
One large town, literally a courthouse and a square (laughing), then a bunch of 'bergs' again, literally. And we're so far off the beaten path, like you, its not a worry. But I will enjoy watching Direct TV when it happens election night, 2012.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
I'll be doing the same, but with Dish Network, Direct TV sucks! Just keep us informed BE, you've a better handle on what's happening than most, I don't respond to all the threads posted here, but I do read them.
I will, if for no other reason than I'd come back up here to the office loaded for bear.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
There are still a lot of businesses in Downtown Cincy that close their doors by 3 PM to ensure their employees make it out before it gets dark and the "less than desirables" decide to get outta bed......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Happy birfday Mammy...in advance.
[Badeye #26] Actually, he does have that ability, JW. He declares 'an insurrection'. For the President to lawfully send in the Militia requires an application of the Legislature of the State, or of the Executive of the State in a case where the Legislature cannot be convened. This express requirement is found at U.S. Const., Art. 4, Sec. 4. The Militia Act of 1795 repeats the precise phrasing of the Constitution, expressly conforming to the limitation imposed by the Constitution. The Militia Act of 1807 cites "where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection." Such lawfulness is expressly dependent on adherence to the Constitution, Art. 4, Sec 4. which expressly requires State application. Article 1, Section 1: Article 1, Section 8: Article 1, Section 9: (still in the Article on Legislative powers) - - - - - Article 4, Section 4: - - - - - Militia Act of 1795, Section I: Militia Act of 1807 APPROVED, March 3, l807. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What legislature or executive/governor applied to President Washington during the Whiskey Rebellion?

[jwpegler #19] The President has no authority whatsoever to declare Martial Law or to take charge of the National Guard for domestic purposes. Only governors can do this.
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
The Congress shall have power to ... To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
And in case of an insurrection in any state, against the government thereof, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, on application of the legislature of such state, or of the executive, (when the legislature cannot be convened,) to call forth such number of the militia of any other state or states, as may be applied for, as he may judge sufficient to suppress such insurrection.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, slIch part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.
