So here’s my election prediction. Obama wins handily and Democrats get a filibuster-proof Senate. The perfect storm. They will call it a “mandate for change” and push through some seriously socialist shit – lots of regulation, confiscating 401Ks (or something similar- I don’t think that will actually pass), huge new entitlements and federal programs, really scary but under the radar things like getting rid of secret ballots in union votes (this is a VERY big deal and the vast majority does not understand how significant this is – it will allow the teacher unions to have more control of schools which means further deterioration of our public schools, it will give more power to labor unions whose power has waned in recent years in every sector except civil service (hmmm think about that one) and make no mistake, the union agenda is VERY “progressive” and left leaning. This will also have huge impact on the economy and will result in job losses as factory wages start to exceed salaries for teachers, nurses and accountants! More layoffs and downsizing and business failures will result from unions negotiating pay and benefits that companies cannot afford). We will have higher taxes to pay for it all. He won’t raise taxes outright on the “middle class” but he’ll jack up the imbedded corporate taxes and we’ll pay for that with higher prices.

We’ll back way off in Iraq and the terrorists will terrorize everyone in the that region, including US targets in the Middle East, but we probably won’t see another attack on our soil for awhile.

The best we can hope for throughout all of this, is that things go badly QUICKLY. We need the effects of all of these bad policies and choices to be seen within 3 years – and then hopefully the American public will wake up and clean house in 2012.

Or maybe the educated racists show up in droves to make sure he’s not elected (that’s sarcasm by the way!) In any event we’ll know in about 8 days.
