Texas judge warns of civil war if Obama is re-elected By Josh Levs, CNN updated 11:13 AM EDT, Thu August 23, 2012
(CNN) -- An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in. The comments by Lubbock County Judge Tom Head, who oversees emergency planning efforts, were broadcast by CNN affiliate KJTV. He made similar remarks on radio station FOX Talk 950. Saying that as the county's emergency management coordinator he has to "think about the very worst thing that can happen and prepare for that and hope and pray for the best," Head told radio host Jeff Klotzman that he believes "in this political climate and financial climate, what is the very worst thing that could happen right now? Obama gets back in the White House. No. God forbid." Why are tax hikes politically radioactive? Referring to unexplained "executive orders" and other documents that Obama and "his minions have filed," Head said, "regardless of whether the Republicans take over the Senate, which I hope they do, he is going to make the United States Congress and he's going to make the Constitution irrelevant. He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody." Obama, Head said, will "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator. OK, what do you think he is going to do when that happens? He is going to call in the U.N. troops, personnel carriers, tanks and whatever." Head vowed to personally stand "in front of their personnel carriers and say, 'You're not coming in here.' And I've asked the sheriff. I said, 'Are you going to back me on this?' And he said, 'Yeah, I'm going to back you.' Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there who have no training and little equipment. I want seasoned veteran people who are trained that have got equipment. And even then, you know we may have two or three hundred deputies facing maybe a thousand U.N. troops. We may have to call out the militia." Opinion: Taxmageddon headed our way Sheriff Kelly Rowe told KJTV there had been no conversation about such a civil war scenario. The two have discussed contingencies for emergency management, he said. KJTV reported that the warning was linked to taxes. Head "indicates a tax increase is needed to shore up law enforcement to protect us," the station reported, adding that a tax increase is under consideration that "would largely benefit the district attorney and sheriff's offices. But the emphasis is more on salary competitiveness than doomsday scenarios." Head made his controversial remarks Tuesday. On Wednesday at a county commissioner meeting, he emphasized that his remarks were about "worst case scenario in my opinion," and added, "Do I think those are going to happen? Probably not." County Commissioner Gilbert Flores told KJTV he was "ashamed" of Head's remarks, and told the judge, "I think you better plan to go fishing pretty soon." Attorney Rod Hobson jokingly put up U.N. flags outside his Lubbock office, KJTV reported. "When I saw the story I thought, once again, Lubbock is going to be the laughingstock of the entire nation," said Hobson. "What makes it so sad is he is our elected county judge, who is in charge of a multi-million dollar budget. That is scary. It's like the light's on, but no one is home... I'd just like to think he's off his meds." But video from the Wednesday meeting showed at least one citizen supporting him. "Judge Head, thank you, and God bless," one citizen said. Head did not immediately respond to an e-mail or phone call to his office Thursday morning. KJTV reported that an aide to Head said the judge will not be commenting for one or two days.

I am pretty moderate glass. This board is pretty left, and some posters often engage in obama-worship.
Found this interesting:
Electoral College Prediction Model Points To A Mitt Romney Win In 2012
Two University of Colorado professors, one from Boulder and one from Denver, have put together an Electoral College forecast model to predict who will win the 2012 presidential election and the result is bad news for Barack Obama. The model points to a Mitt Romney victory in 2012.
Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, the two political science professors who devised the prediction model, say that it has correctly forecast every winner of the electoral race since 1980.
"Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble," Bickers said in a press statement.
To predict the race's outcome, the model uses economic indicators from all 50 states and it shows 320 electoral votes for Romney and 218 for Obama, according to The Associated Press. The model also suggests that Romney will win every state currently considered a swing state which includes Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Colorado.
The professors' model shows a very different picture than what current data suggests. Currently, The Huffington Post's Election Dashboard shows Obama with 257 electoral votes to Romney's 191 with only six "tossup" states including: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
Berry cautions that just because the model has worked in the past, doesn't mean it will work this time. "As scholars and pundits well know, each election has unique elements that could lead one or more states to behave in ways in a particular election that the model is unable to correctly predict," Berry said in a statement. Some of those factors include the timeframe of the current economic data used in the study (the data used was taken five months before the November election, but Berry and Bickers plan to update it with more current data come September) as well as tight races. States that are very close to a 50-50 split, the authors warn, can fall in an unexpected direction.
According to current data from The Huffington Post Election Dashboard, there are at least 13 states that are either dead heats or within a handful of percentage points in either direction.
Currently HuffPost's Pollster, tracking 403 national polls, estimates Obama leading the tight race nationally with 46.3 percent to Romney's 45.2 percent.

the key seems to be FLA tho. i have seen the numbers crunched in a number of different ways and whoever wins FLA is most likely the winner. it is possible to win without FLA but highly unlikely.
i think you are underestimatign the negative impact of the GOP's war on women cash. the poeple you call lefties are not lefties on eitehr coast. i have lived on both coasts and the midwest, upper lower and and Nebraska. the country is not nearly as 'right leaning" as you have been convinced it is by rushie and fox and hannity and beck. that is a figment.
the coasts are both very left leaning compared to the "middle" in the midwest, the caostal lefties and have almost nothing in common with the midwest, and i don't thnk you get that.... you take me to eitehr coast adn i am a redneck, yu put me in the midwest and i am a moderate to even a leftie in realtionship to the rest of the people inthe communities. furhtermore, the last nuymbers i saw on abortion clearly show that most of the country is not in favor of making it it illegal... even here in MS they voted that down, and you underestimate that considerably.
people are not happy about the economy, but Romney is not the person to fix that. His business background is specifically to dismantle and sell off parts, like junk yard, not like a manufactor

And Obama has the background of a manufacturer? Obama has no business background at all. Even Bill Clinton praised Mitts job creation record.

When questioned in 1992, Clinton declined to answer questions about whether she knew what was going on overs

I am well familiar with the wal mart scandal under former CEO david glass where they said made in america and they were not. he also got in trouble when they exposed the child labor at sweatshops. i know more about it than you think, like most things you jump to conclusions on for the sake of a debate.

read my post cash, i only asked if you were familiar.
you act like everyone is against you and you are all alone. fact is? when the economy collapsed? there were many more Bush supporters than 'haters' here. they all took their wounds back to their dens to lick them.
you act like none of it matters or happened.
face facts. we all know whenthecollpase happened, it was before Obama got in office, you can't rewrite or deny that histroy.
Obama has not been very effective at fixing what happened. On th eother hand, and htis is the real apples and oranges<
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A BANKER FOR A PRESIDENT. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK THAT IS A FIX TO THE PROBLEMS WE FACE.
now tell me with straight face that Romeny is no banker ... LOL you can't- go pound sand if you think romney is th efix for this- two years of Romney and we are in full collapse all over again.

a banker who is, BTW, afraid to make his tax returns public/ LOL...
remember the news in Europe when Bush got re-elected? Oh God? that's what the headline said...
electing Romney is like electing the president of Coutrywide or Fanie May or merryl Lynch or Lehman Bros..... it's insane, but it fits with the way people have ben acting this year.

hear is the last three businessmen that were president do we want to have another?
And then we get the big three—the men widely considered by historians to be the worst presidents of the modern era: Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, and George W. Bush. One left the country on the verge of a depression, one left the country in a depression, and one presided over such corruption and ineptitude that despite the failings of the other two he still manages to get the lowest ranking of them all. And yet all three made millions of dollars in the private sector before entering politics. All three were successful businessmen (a newspaper publisher, a mining tycoon, and the owner of a professional baseball team). Bush 43 even went to Harvard business school, like Romney, and like Romney promised to bring business principles to the Oval Office.
With this kind of track record, maybe voters should apply some market principles to the core Romney Rationale and choose a different brand of dog food. •

Maybe we should have the last man/women standing ruie in effect for our next election.
Unfortunately he/she would most likely be worthless for our nation, even under these rules of engagement.
Every four years it's the same old thing, like spitting in the wind.
Might as well elect them for eight years and give us a break.
Look at the economy, homeless, situations over seas and all the future places we can get our young killed and it looks worse and worse everyday.
These politicians can sling all their bs and think most of us are stupid enough to believe it and i guess we have no choice, because there is nobody that doesn't sling it.
I guess if i work for their campaign and they pay me enough i will act like i believe them, otherwise give me a break.
