Or will you sit quietly on sidelines & only discuss politics with your closest friends, for fear that you will be turned in to Obama's watch group & end up with Chicago style thugs lookin' you up?

Beginning to feel just like Communist Russia to me.

Do you think 2+2 will ban me today & turn in my IP address to Obama's gang?

Seems to me the more productive question would be "Will you campaign for ..."?

Yes, mocking the poster to distract from the underlying point, (that Obama's incompetence must be campaigned against lest we allow another four years of it to rip this country apart), is the time tested way to win an argument without even discussing the argument on its merits.

The other method that will be used is the old, "if you are against Obama you are a racist" argument. We will see a lot of that one to come as well.

Obama can't win on the merits, so his campaign will attempt to win with the low road of attack and character assassination.

As opposed to the stellarly qualified, undeniably competent Rick Perry or Mitchell Bachmann? Um, OK....

Are you really so biased that you can't see the OP contained no argument at all, just a bunch of sophomoric hyperbole?
