Don't be the Hare

[DonCoquixote]

OK, I realize I have said things like this op before, but I still read many many ops that state something to the effect of "We have this election in the bag", or "no way would the GOP win."

Yes, it is funny to see the GOP finally have to start cleaning the same mess they have been throwing at us. However, all this is just the preliminary fight. Once someone is anointed, they will be unified by the sheer hatred they have for Obama. Remember how many GOP hated the idea of voting for Bush?, same principle, or rather, lack of principle on the part of the GOP. They will vote for Satan as long as he is not Barack Obama, and unlike us, they know the value of packing the voting booth.

But let's say the whole "front runner things" is left to dangle into spring.

Why would that even matter?

Keep in mind, a PAC does not have to promote Mitt or anyone, all it has to do is tear down someone, and keep doing so till the brains of the viewers are tender. Keep in mind, Romney has not won anything by seeling himself, but by having his pacs keep shoveling money to the Media about how much the other guy stinks. You do not need to be a marksman when you have a machinegun and unlimited ammo. Keep in mind, there is nothing stopping anybody, be they the Koches to the Red Chinese, from simply sending in as much money as it takes, period.

All they have to do is make people feel nervous about Obama. They will use everything, including the Nader/Hamsher side of the left. Of course, the media will be complicit as hell, especially as they know they have everything to gain by making this a nasty election. All the ego types will be mugging for their 15 minutes of shame, providing nothing but ammo.

But's let's not forget the price of oil. Even if Obama offered to hang oil speculators, we are stuck with the fact the oil companies are hiding behind foriegn markets. Never mind that they have houses in Beverly Hills, after all, they think Americans are just means to their ends, and the Churches are right behind them saying that their vice is virtue. Speaking of churches, let us not forget them. They will want to be vocal, especially since a Mormon is running. Why?, because they know they will need to BUY influence. Mitt does not have to pretend to owe the Bible belt anything.

And last, let's not forget, Iran and Isreal both know they can force elections. They will gladly repeat Carter, seeing as how they know that GOP in the Oval Office is good for business. As long as we keep on course, both Tel Aviv and Tehran know that their young people will walk into meat grinders, instead of bringing in an arab spring.

I am not saying be glum, but I am saying that we will delude ourselves if we think this election is going to be "won" on the mertis, the GOP can do only two things, steal and confuse, but they will preapre to do just that.
