Reply #5: While I agree about the Obama thing [View All]

[Caliman73]

Ultimately the leaders of the Republican party care much more deeply about one thing than any other. That is in the accumulation of wealth and power into the hands of the corporate and moneyed interests. They want to be the benefactors of patronage and assume basically indefinite power. Taking out the Democratic party including Obama would aid in that process, but I don't think that his demise is their overarching concern. If he joins them, then they would be fine. Obama, as much as he has disappointed with his concessions to the wealthy, has not completely allowed the corporations to have free reign. I don' think that they would care one lick about his birth certificate or race if he came out and started allowing their policies wholesale. Politics mean less to them than getting their kickbacks. They are all just a bunch of grifters.
