About the Obama Relection

Look folks, I understand we are happy about the GOP imploding. Yes, it is nice to see Obama get a bump in the polls. Yes, it is nice to see Liberals being proven right for a change.

However, this is no time to play Hare to the GOP turtle, nor is it, by paradox, time to lessen pressure on Obama to turn left.
The right wing is mobilizing billions, as are those who would benefit from them, including China, Iran, and yes, Netanyahu's twisted version of Israel.

The Gas companies will jack the gas to 5 bucks a Gallon, then say they would gladly make it cheap if they had that pipeline and a few oil rigs off Florida.

The Tehran and Tel Aviv regimes benefit, so they will glaldy declare a war, as both Tehran and Tel Aviv have to hide the fact that they have failed to govern, and that they are the reason their children have a nasty future ahead.

Wall Street knows they need Mitt in there to ensure they are never called to power. Yes, Obama has not done enough, but they know a fellow criminal like Mitt or Newt will burn holes in the law to save them, even if, and especially if it takes makes the Supreme Court a Kangeroo court to do it.

The MSM, lets face it, even the folks at MSNBC will have somethign to gain by a GOP victory. I love my Michael Moore, my Cenk, my Rachel, but even they will be honest and admit that 4 more years of GOP mayhem would fatten their wallets. As far the rest, they are often Fox News wearing Sheep's clothing.

And sadly, even onn the far left, the Ted ralls, the Jane Hamshers, et al. They think that a bloody revolution is all that is needed, and the GOP dominance is the way to get it, as well as punish Obama for not being their caddy. Of course, they refuse to learn the lesson of 2000, where the right could profit even if the man in the Oval Office is a complete idiot. Yes, W. is gone back to the ranch, but he served his role, just as easily as whoever they put in will serve theirs, Remember that Norquist says that he does not need a leader, just someone to sign documents.

Let us not forget the dirty tricks, and that all the swing states have governors who are actively gaming the system, trying to keep students, minorties and elderly from voting. Their operatives are already bragging about how they plan election fraud. This is in an era where, sorry to say, the GOP got EXACTLY what they wanted by shooting Gabby Giffords. Even the "moderates" will make excuses, as this becomes a trend, NOT a freak occurence.

All I am saying is, don't let your guard down. This can make the 2000 elections look like Halcyon days.
