When Voters Find Out They've Been Conned

[Joanne98]

The Corporate CEO's and big Wall Street Bankers must have been having a good old time celebrating their victories in the mid-term elections.

You can see them now. High-fiving through the cigar smoke in their wood paneled Upper East Side exclusive clubs. Laughing at how easy it was to put one over on so many everyday working people. They are thrilled that they successfully convinced many Americans to vote against their own economic self-interests by playing on their legitimate anger that their economic well-being is under attack.

Of course, the cruel irony is that the people who funded the vicious TV ads and flights of mail urging everyday Americans to throw out the Democrats in order to demonstrate their fury at the economy, are the very people who have made a killing themselves by attacking the middle class.

They are the very same people who have outsourced middle class jobs, siphoned off ever-larger portions of the fruits of middle class labor, and made fortunes speculating with the middle class' money. And, unbelievably, they are the very same people whose reckless speculation collapsed the economy and cost eight million Americans their jobs.

1. They will salivate to be conned again.

There is a sucker born every minute. They will be fooled again.

3. Just dangle "rugged indvidualist" and "competition" in front of the rednecks ...

and you can sell them anything.

6. Add to that, flag waving, bible thumping, fist pumping chants of

USA! USA!

I mean really; The tea party, rendered down to it's most base desires is basically one of desiring a plutocratic theocracy, same as the GOP, albeit more stridently stated, so what's the difference? The same working class people who follow Fox news and Rushbo have done this all along before the tea party. It is to that end, that the whole tea party movement was a shrewd move on the part of the plutocrats ( in their view )

7. They certainly don't have to practice critical thinking!

2. The COC (Businesses and WS) had as their goal: Congress pass

All the Trade Treaties. 2. REPEAL the Regulations
recently passed to reform Wall St. (Mark Shields, Leher
News Hour). This why Democrats were targeted.

It did not take long to get the Trade Treaties moving.

4. Even the newly elected Representatives don't know that they are getting played.

5. H. L. Mencken said it brilliantly 90 years ago: "Nobody ever went

broke overstimating the stupidity of the American people". Watch them lap it up again in 2012.
