What do you make of the right-wing paranoia? Is it pervasive enough to take seriously? How do you make sense of conservatives concerns about how to take care of their families if Obama becomes president?

As it becomes more and more clear that Obama is likely to win the conservatives are becoming more desperate. They need avenues to vent and a Conspiracy Theory feels that void.

But the whole idea is so implausible. Yet, somehow they are able to rationalize it by believing the conspiracy is real and anyone who doesn’t see it is blind.

Help me out here, is they any way to diplomatically and realistic address this stuff? Are they any conservatives out there who agree that it’s bunk?

In October 1962 the film The Manchurian Candidate was released to rave reviews. Directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Harvey, the film was about a nefarious plot that involved brainwashing, an assassin with a post-hypnotic trigger and a conspiracy to deliver the US presidency into the hands of foreign enemies whose plan it was to destroy the country from within. Eventually cracks began to appear in the plot and in the end the evildoers met their just rewards.

Fast-forward 46 years into this year’s presidential contest between Barack Obama and John McCain. Out of nowhere Barack Obama appears on the scene full-blown and manages to snatch the democratic nomination from Hilary Clinton, despite his complete lack of experience in both domestic as well as foreign policy. In fact, Barack Obama’s experience is so thin that it isn’t even possible to ascertain exactly what he stands for, given that he voted ‘present’ on over 130 Senate bills.

Yet the mainstream media have embraced Obama as the Messiah, the Chosen One, the One Who Will Bring About Hope and Change. No matter that there is no voting record or even a clear history of Obama’s activities since graduation, save and except that he was a ‘community organizer’. Most candidates for political office including those running for dogcatcher of Gnarled Gulch, Montana face close scrutiny by the electorate and especially the media.

But it appears that no amount of subterfuge and skullduggery with which Barack Obama is associated, is enough to raise any questions about his suitability to hold the highest office in the land. Call me paranoid, but suppose there is a vast left-wing conspiracy to take over the United States, there wouldn’t be a better time to do it than now and it seems that there’s no better candidate to do it than Barack Obama. << cont’d

Rep. Bachmann, why are you here on a debate board when you should be campaigning to defend your seat in Congress?

>>> I know you think it is funny, but one of those who was bringing it on per Bush's chiding killed a friend of mine in Baghdad. It is not funny. You don't challenge people to kill US troops.

I'm sure the troops would have a different opinion. And it's equally naive to believe that the terrorists actually responded to Bush's "chiding" and would have been peaceful citizens otherwise.

Kennedy showed his strength in the war...Obama showed his "strength" on his campaign. "You Sir, are no Jack Kennedy."

We don't have to nuke...we have a lot of shades of gray in our arsenal. Other countries don't have that subtlety...and the ones that might feed a bomb to terrorists certainly don't.

Like I said, it's Michelle Obama...I've got a lot of free time because Barry is keeping me hidden from view so I don't say some stupid angry, racist, anti-American thing before the election. I hear Joe is arriving tomorrow. LOL!

>>> LOL! So 9/11 wasn't a personal test of Bush, but in the future, an event will occur which will be a personal test. Hmmm... I don't buy it.

Well, you can take up your disbelief with Biden. Al Qaeda wasn't "testing Bush's metal" on 9/11, but Biden says "MARK MY WORDS"...an enemy of the US will GENERATE a crisis SPECIFICALLY to "TEST THE METAL" of Obama, because they perceive him to be naive and inexperienced...and his response will be WRONG. This from Obama's VP, a 36 year veteran of the Senate and the Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee.

>>> Just because you project that Obama won't handle challenges well, doesn't mean that he won't.

That's Biden's assessment...you know, Obama's VP...the guy he picked BECAUSE he has foreign policy experience. You do the math.

>>> All presidents face challenges.

Not GENERATED specifically to TEST HIS METAL...because the enemy believes that he's THAT KIND OF naive and inexperienced...but BIDEN thinks so.

>>> Quite frankly, I think Bush had the chance to prove himself by getting the terrorists (binLaden and Al Qaeda) in Afghanistan, but he blew it.

You probably missed the news flash, but Bush did get the Taliban...you know, the guys who we were after in Afghanistan...and he destroyed Al Qaeda in Iraq too. If Al Qaeda hangs up a shingle in Afghanistan then Bush and/or McCain will kill them there as well...in contrast to Obama who will quickly surrender...or invade our ally Pakistan...whichever is most politically expedient.

>>> Instead, he made an oopsie by losing focus on the terrorists who attacked us and mired the country in a war-of-choice not related to 9/11.

Sorry, I don't subscribe to left-wing propaganda news letters. LOL!

>>> Yeah...he proved himself alright by giving BinLaden something to snicker about - driving our country deeply in debt for an unnecessary venture.

ROFL!!! TOO FUNNY...coming from someone supporting a guy who wants to top the Bush spending with an additional TRILLION in spending of his own. LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!

Really? Then I guess you have been 'pallin around' with terrorists also? Wonder how far the 'guilt by association' thing extends? I spoke to William Ayers once - does that make me a terrorist too?

"You Sir, are no Jack Kennedy."

Isn't THAT the truth!?! It is amazing to me that Obama supporters have been conned to believe that the way he RUNS HIS CAMPAIGN counts as "experience". Good grief, how ridiculous.

(Glad to see you back on the board. I admire your strength and patience! LOL!)
