Anyone else see the potential for a door opening for the neocons now?

[Skidmore]

Between the oil mess and the judges' ruling on the moratorium, McChrystal's insubordination (how widespread is it?), the tactic of obstructionism by the GOP, and the establishment GOP's nurturing of the Teabaggers, I have a real uneasy feeling. Who benefits? Not us. Not the working class. Not even the rank and file GOP bubba down the road. Big Money, Big Oil, Big Guns. Not all business is synonymous with these. The rhetoric is ratcheting up and the attacks now are able to settle into the tradition "Dems are soft on bad guys" BS the Right resorts to in the end.

Big Daddy is coming home, locked and loaded, driving his tank.

1. But...but...but...the right is the "bad guys."

Ironically, they won't see themselves when they look in the mirror. :eyes:

2. Some little dog has gone and pulled the curtain back...

To reveal "Corporations" at the controls.

No so surprising... but they'll bash you as a conspiracy theorist if you say it out loud... oh well... I've been called worse!

3. Democrats will lose one or two Senate seats, and a handful of House seats

not much more than 10-15. Or losses that are about normal for an off year election for the party in the WH. We have teabaggers and other assorted conservative purists to thank. We will indeed dodge what could have been a huge bullet at us.

4. Neoconservatives are not just elected officials.

There are many in governmental departments and agencies on ready to follow an agenda, particularly in terms of foreign policy matters and trade.

5. You forgot the GOP worshipping of Limbaugh, their 'god'.

Can't the democratic party pull up all those videos of republicans bowing and apologizing to Limblah? The democratic leadership should get the Daily Show writers and researchers or someone equally capable of skewering each republican who is a BP apologizer, Rush worshipper and all the other things you mentioned. The democratic party should PICK UP seats given all the ammunition they have. But will they? Time will tell, but I've seen so many blown opportunities already. I'd love to be the DNC chairman. I would butcher the republicans in the Fall.

6. Bush fired TWO generals because they disagreed with him

what's wrong with Obama firing one for insubordination.

[louis-t]

8. They were fired because they wouldn't tell him what he

wanted to hear. They wouldn't tell him the wars could be won militarily.

[EC]

7. This is what makes me boil about Obama and his crew

they haven't taken the time to replace all the judges and flunkies Bush installed at the last minute just to keep their agenda going...MMS, district courts, DOD and every other department...I know you can't fire civil service employees (which was what Bush put in as even noted by the press) but they can be moved to the cafeteria or someplace innocuous. This assignment should have been assigned first thing...

9. But all this may not prove to be popular with the electorate.

Even if a majority oppose the moratorium now, the judge's decision will look worse and worse as things deteriorate in the Gulf of Mexico.
