I've become immune to it, but apparently it still works. "What?", you ask. Scare mongering, of course! I've never in my life seen anything like this. Oh wait, yes I have...just 4 short years ago! Remember how, if John "Frankenstein" Kerry were elected president, the radical Islamists would celebrate in the streets and we'd all be individually attacked by terrorists? Only King George the Dim could save us!
This go-around has had more than its share of fear mongering. Some of it is downright comical. I'll start with the anti-McCommie scare tactics (age before beauty, you know).
If McCain is elected...
- It'll prove that this is a racist nation!
- He'll invade Iran & Syria!
- He'll tax your health care!
- Corporations will:
- Use his election as an excuse to cut commissions and overtime!
- Stop providing health care!
- Downsize to take advantage of tax breaks!
- Deaths from terrorist attacks will skyrocket under McCain!
- Women will be forced into lesser lives!
- The US will become a 3rd-world nation!
- He'll start a new Cold War with Russia!
- It'll be economic suicide because he thinks the economy is sound!
- African Americans will riot!
- There'll be a full-fledged race and class war!
- We'll become a deflated and depressed country!
- Crime will soar!
- Homelessness will increase!
- The country will succumb to hopelessness!
- He'll die in office and Sarah Palin will prove just how unprepared she really is!
- He'll cut social welfare but increase corporate welfare!
- He'll return the southwest US to Mexico!
- He'll ruin the Supreme Court for generations with ultra right-wing appointees!
- He'll revoke Roe v. Wade!!!
- He'll re-institute slavery!
Now for the other side. I actually left out a bunch of stuff I heard on the radio because I just couldn't recall the exact verbiage. There's some lulus in here.
If Obama is elected...
- He'll destroy the Constitution!
- The stock market will crash!
- There'll be an international crisis! His own VP nominee says so!
- God will smite America!
- I'll have to quit my job because it'll be more beneficial to mooch off the government than to work!
- The KKK will have a resurgence and will attack minority schools!
- Taxes will go up and:
- The rich won't have any incentive to make more money!
- The rich will hide their money in offshore accounts, causing a depression!
- There'll be layoffs and an unemployment nightmare!
- People won't donate to charities any more!
- Israel will attack Iran!
- The cost of goods and services will rise!
- We'll have an energy crisis of Biblical proportions!
- The productive will pull a "John Galt" and everything will go to shit!
- There will be a civil war!
- There'll be a Muslim takeover and we'll all end up as Dhimmi!
- He'll abolish the Boy Scouts!
- You'll lose your 401(k)!
- Affirmative action will be emphasized and there'll be quotas and fines for non-compliance!
- Terrorists will attack us at will!
- He'll ruin the Supreme Court for generations with ultra left-wing appointees!
- He'll shut down talk radio and Fox News using the Fairness Doctrine!
- He'll confiscate everyone's guns!
- He'll surrender in Iraq!
- He'll give us "Hillary Health" and we'll be forced to use government-provided health care.
- His cabinet and advisers will be:
- People like Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright!
- Black people exclusively!
- A dead-ringer for the old Soviet Politburo!
- He's a Marxist! A Communist! He'll:
- Redistribute the wealth!
- Confiscate our property!
- Be like Stalin and kill millions of his own people!
Face it, people. We're screwed if McCommie gets elected. We're screwed if Obama the Savior of all mankind gets elected. The government is bankrupt, both fiscally and morally. All we can do now is wait for the inevitable implosion and hope that somewhere there are Washingtons, Jeffersons, Adamses, George Masons, and others who can rebuild this nation to it's original model.
Enjoy the election. I'm sure it'll be high drama.
