In this age of fake TV-drama, of reality-SHOWs. The republican party and the conservative movement have giving the 24-hour-news-networks a ready made freak show to entertain their audience.
each day there is a new pack of lies, new Harmageddon, new fake outrage...
a window into a dysfunctional party.....wanting more power when the little they have seem to have driven them mad.
When I see the WH and leadership democrats silent or ineffectual in the face of their imminent demise (if you believe in polls taken months before the actual voting) I am forced to remind myself about the August-September hand wringing of 2008(election) but also of 2009(town hall madness).
what we are seeing is the maximum altitude that can be reached by republican party unopposed by anybody, wait until gravity kicks in and the true numbers reveal themselves, if they republicans have a hard time gaining the necessary support to kick Reid's teeth in in Nevada or burst the balloon of Conway in KY or establish some distance (poll) against Fisher in Ohio, when they are unopposed, how the hell are they going to deliver a wipe-out defeat to the democrats in November.
This scheme of letting your opponent tire themselves when it does not matter, is called a "rope a dope" Obama used it during the 2008 election, his supporters would wonder what the hell he was doing, why the hell he was not attacking, first it was against HRC and then it was against Mcnutt.
The electorate that is voicing their opinions now in polls are those who are paying attention, the more hungry a party is for power, the more its supporters are paying attention, in that electorate the republicans are leading democrats by 4-6% point even though democrats are not amounting any kind of concerted defence.
The Beck-Palin degenerate have always believed that Obama was a Muslim because they fear to say the N-word to a pollster.
(I thinking once the Israeli-Palestine "peace" talks which are slated to begin in September are finished in abject failure..the Muslims rumors fanned by mass media will subside.....this is an orchestrated attempt at influencing Obama,to not to be too hard on Israel, the Likudniks don't want an honorable peace, and they have supporters in the US, soon you will hear how Obama is being too hard on Netanyahu only they will not say Netanyahu or even Israel instead they will cast this as Islam vs Judaism...is Obama choosing to side with the Muslims?)
Boehner is crystallizing as the perpetually tanned face of the white-peoples-party, this will give Obama and the democrats an enemy with a face someone to scare democrats with instead of the generic.....
"republican"...
we will find out if this is going to be a "democrats chainsaw massacre year" but only when the battle is joined.
