Republicans Hope Violence Breaks Out
Republican chances in 2012 will be improved if violence breaks out. There's a precedent for it - Nixon '68. Nixon pretended to be above it all, giving voters the impression that he'd bring the unrest in the cities to a halt. It worked.


Nixon pledged to bring us together.

3. There already is violence - with no repercussions
How much violence do you think the 99% should accept from the GeStaPo before they fight back?

4. Nixon had a few more things in his favor
Like the third party candidacy of George Wallace and the dissatisfaction over the Vietnam War.
