The Anatomy of the GOP's Strategy: Consolidate their Base and win

[opihimoimoi]

Using every trick they can muster, the GOP have gathered their Base garnering enough power/influence to place their peeps into office.

Please take the time/effort to look closely at who makes up the base. We can do this by going into their realm and attempt a look at why they think the way they do.

Who makes up the GOPs Base?

Old Republicans..still sticking with the Party not realizing it has been hijacked by the PNACers/NeoCons
Young Republicans...their families have been GOP for years...and/or Was recuited, was pressured, was expedient.

Religion: The GOP panders to the Religious Right

The Easily Fooled: Far too many in this category

The Expedient: they work for a Pub Company and wish promotion/advancement

The Undereducated: Canardly see different perspectives etc etc. Trapped, they tenaciously cling to Bush/GOP without really looking at WHY....The evidence points out the lower GOP lever actually votes against their own self interest...

They all have one or more things in common:

They are highly susceptible to Mental Herding. Wanting desperately to sound astute they grab/use talking points from the Hannitys/the Rushes/etc. They cling to their Leader no matter what to avoid eating CROW. They hate to lose. They hate to say they were wrong.

Facing Reality is too much to bear as the evidence points to the mess Pubs have created these past 12 years. Thus they delve into Fantasy....to believe what is not true. They twist, distort, etc to get in the Last Word. THEY WANNA WIN....

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY should be looking for solutions to break this Mental Herding Crap sprung on us by the GOP and their minions.
The Dem Crew must elevate themselves to focus on Solutions....not just throw money at it. Innovative, effective, and benevolent answers are what we need.

1. no. win at all cost. nothing is out of bounds.

if you can get away with it, it is ok.

there may well be a lot more coup in the works than we imagine.

i remember that jeb and the florida bastards were ready to send their own electors if the court allowed gore to prevail. they are capable of anything.

2. I agree.....but how do we solve???

3. The GOP Is Incinerating Its Base

and that's just fine with me!

4. There is Goodness and Badness in this Society of ours...and much in

between.

The GOP shows many signs of being in the Bad Category

Decietful

Untrustworthy

Absence of Positiveness

Absence of solutions for the Common Good

Not very Cheerful are they?

Not very Helpful to the Society in terms of Advancing our Lives

Not at all Thrifty

And not Kind at all...except to their own

Stuck on the ME Level...whats in it for ME thingy

worst of all, not PREPARED...they React instead of being Proactive

The GOP has been showing some very bad signs but they cling to DELUSION all is well and they got all of the Answers.
