(10,539 posts)and took the rank and file Republicans too far to fast! In the quest to grab more ratings by being ever more outlandish, they lost control of the message. A more gradual movement to the right would keep everyone asleep until it was too late. As it is, they are forced to attack Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid now! They had their plants in SCOTUS go out of their way (damned activist Judges) to give them Citizens United to open the flood gates of money to try to force through their agenda and try to keep the wheels from coming off. Rush, Hannity and their ilk are merely tools (boy are they) to shape the opinions of low information voters. They are drastically cutting education to increase the percentage of the low info voters. They offshore our jobs to lower wages here and bust the Unions so that when they bring them back, we are desperate enough to work for subsistence money with NO safety net and no safety. Tort reform was a ruse to kill Plaintiff firms so there will be no redress and no penalty. When Stella Liebeck sued McDonalds for the Hot Coffee, the media made it seem like our Court system had run amuck. The reality was that she almost died and had to have her clitorus and labia removed. The jury awarded around 2 million in light of the damages to her and the fact that they learned that McDonalds had superheated their coffee world wide to make fresh longer and get more coffee per bean. Our media lied about it (check this out if you do not believe the FACTS)! After BP blew up their plant in Texas City in 2005, they had the Texas legislature and Court system make it impossible to sue an oil company in Texas if they blew up their plant in the future. This has been a 30 year plan with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at it's center. They are not true Americans, only greedy, power mad, entitled assholes! We need our own plan to fight to take the power back! They are prepared to get physical (Cops on OWS) to keep their hard earned power, we must be even more committed. Sounds like a crazy rant I know, but check it out if you do not believe. This has been planned for a long time!
