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?

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.

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.

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

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.

...unless otherwise authorized by Congress or the Constitution...

That said, PCA is a proscription of the military being used to enforce local laws...

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?
