6. No, I believe there are other reasons...

...such as the fact that if they tell the truth, they lose votes. I love to point out that the last time a presidential candidate told the truth about Conservative aims was in 1800 when Jefferson beat Adams. Since then, Cons have lied, pretending to feel for the Common Man while chipping away at democratic institutions and achievements one by one.

It's only now that they have blatantly broadcasted their belief that the rich should govern the 98%...almost as if they *know* that they can't be beat at the ballot box. Voter suppression, voter intimidation, voting machine fixing - even another Supreme Court coup de etat? They know the populace didn't rise up in 2000 when the SCOTUS stole our vote. We The Sheeple are nowhere near the quality of the citizenry in other countries who love democracy, those who would have stormed the Supreme Court building and taken heads in 2000.

God, I hate Conservatives.
