They're campaigning. Hard. Have been since last Nov. Wide and deep. Every segment of their base.

[Skip Intro]

They were ready to go, before Obama took office. Ready to smear every aspect, to instill every fear possible in every way possible. About the man on the most personal of levels, about his identity, and his life, and his party, and their goals and agendas, every action taken. On a gut level, on a patriotic level, on an economic level, on a racial level, on a trust level - they rally all segments of their damaged party playing to the most base emotions of humanity. Attack, attack, attack. Damage as much as possible, with relentless accusations and theatrics, those who dare present an alternative powerful enough to triumph. This is what they do. It's the only way they can claw their way back.

Don't believe for a minute some fantasy about a schism splitting the right - they'll vote in unison next year and in 2012. They're feeding the tea partiers red meat every day, as they are with the other segments of their base, and will manipulate them "home" by the time it really matters. And my fear is the right's hope, that with all the scare tactics and stunts, they will have picked up enough momentum, enough steam (and nothing produces that steam like fear and hatred) to take back a few seats, mabye more than a few. I mean hell, who wouldn't want to vote out some baby-killing, old people-killing socialist who wants to destroy our economy and apologize to the world for our greatness?

Again, this is what they do.

It's worked before.

And they're doing it. Again.

3. Obama is doing his job as a President. If he were to sprinkle gold dust

over the entire nation these slime balls would say he wasn't doing enough.

It does not matter what he does. If you look at Brad Friedman's videos on You tube where he interviews people at teabag rallies it is so obvious that they have no idea what they are protesting about. They have been lured into a fake fear and are acting irrational. Like someone in an airplane fainting and then 8 other people faint and they think there is something wrong with the plane. No it is mass hysteria that is at work there and it is mass hysteria at work here...................puppeteered by the master at creative mass hysteria.

Maybe we should create come mass hysteria in the other direction.

4. They're doing it again with help from Dems

That's the part that sickens me the most. If they take over again, I'm done. No need to read endless bitter posts when half of the people complaining are the ones that made it possible for the takeover to happen.
