9. It's An Attempt To Wear Us Down...
Right wing harpies can only bitch...when asked for a solution you get talking points and platitudes...words with little meat on the bones. That's by design so a puppet like a boooosh can play figurehead while the real party apparatus goes to work fleecing the treasury and feeding the corporate beasts. To accomplish this they need a compliant "base"...zombies whose anger and ignorance are used to distract from the real motives and to put pressure on the opposition.

This is all about who blinks first...and the GOOP has played the all or nothing game here...never to give in, never to compromise, never to accept any dissent. They will lie and distort as "the end justifies the means"...translation: if it increases my power and wealth and/or destroys my opponent.

Their hopes are all the poutrage will wear President Obama and the rest of us down. That if there's enough discontent somehow people will want to vote rushpublican to "fix things"...or so they think. If not to wear an opponent down, then to put them in a box, like they were able to do with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. They're trying to same shit on President Obama and he's wise to their games.

I agree, the President is catering too much to "reach across" to an opposition we knew from the outset was hoping for his failure and put their partisan greed ahead of what's best for the country. However, I also see him disarming them at the same time. By coopting some of their proposals, he takes away some real objections and force them into becoming hypocrites (voting against their own bills)...it just shows the lack of any integrity among rushpublicans that so many will do a 180...and if the GOOP doesn't think people are noticing, they're in for quite a surprise.

What appears to be happening is all this poutrage is taking its toll on the rushpublicans. The party is bitterly divided...the only thing holding what's left of the GOOP is hate and obstruction. Destroying the obstruction, all that's left is the hate and little else and the further they go from regaining any credibility or real power. The monsters Atwater, Gingrich, Rove, DeLay and others created has now come back to destroy them.

Cheers...
