If this country has to suffer through four more years of an Obama presidency, by the end of his second term in 2017 our economy may well be in ruins, and unemployment will still be unacceptably high.

Inflation, driven by high food and energy costs brought about in large part by Obama's anti-fossil-fuel energy policies, will be through the roof.

Our reduced military forces will be stretched to the breaking point due to sharply reduced funding resulting from sequestration and ongoing commitments abroad.

Obama will be a virtual dictator who constantly bypasses Congress, ignores the Constitution, and rules by executive order. The voters will be more than ready to take out their frustrations on Democrats on Election Day 2016.

The Democratic Party in its present form is aided and abetted by a compliant and biased news media, and dominated by hard-core leftist ideologues who barely tolerate Democratic conservatives or even moderates.

The old Democratic Party must die and be reborn into a new party purged of its destructive platform and ideologies--a party whose beliefs and agenda will once again be more acceptable to the American mainstream.
