I think people are afraid to make a prediction...Big Brother Cheney may be watching.

I had to wrestle with my conscience to decide whether to dignify this with a prediction. I finally decided to add a vote on the side of sanity.
Why not a question about whether Obama will beat his wife again or whether Hillary will make another speach in favor of bringing back slavery.
The people on the left side of the political spectrum have consistently shown much less tolerance for opposing views.
In short, this insulting question does nothing except to betray the biases and lack of judgement of whoever formulated it.

This is not to say that those on the left can't be intolerant, but you really think on the old scales of intolerance that the left are the winners? Really? 'cause if you do, I have this bridge in Brooklyn that I need to unload quickly, since I am moving. I'll give you a good price.

I am almost certain that this probably won't go anywhere, but it is relevant to the question:

U.S. Supreme Court Asked to Delay Presidential Election

According to a press release from attorney Philip J. Berg, he filed a request with the United States Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon, for an injunction staying the presidential election until the Supreme Court determines whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to be President of the United States.
