Reply #6: I don't believe for one second...

...that the Republicans and Independents who voted for Obama--are now swinging
back to Republicans.

Those people wanted CHANGE. They HATED George Bush and they hated what the Republican
party had become. These Republicans are not following Beck and they aren't tea partiers.
These are Republicans who want their old party back.

Not for a second do I believe that they're jumping back on the bandwagon. They were running
from the bandwagon when Bush screwed up and went neocon psycho. Things have only become more
extreme and psycho with the Republicans.

If anything, I believe that most of those people feel punched in the gut, and like they have
no home. I think many are disaffected. I think many Democrats feel the same.

It is very unfortunate that the media continues with this "Republican landslide a comin!" meme.

But please remember. This is so important. Who owns the media? The big corporations who are
in bed with the politicians. They want this election to turn a certain way. They want
the Republicans to gain majorities in the House and Senate. I believe the corporate Dems
and the Corporate Republicans (95 percent of Congressional members) want gridlock and chaos
when it comes to legislation so they can use that gridlock as an excuse for doing NOTHING
that "We The People" want.

Look at what happened with the healthcare bill. Dems had majorities in both houses. It was
a bit too uncomfortable to try and explain why they couldn't get a decent healthcare bill through.
It was obvious, with our Dem majorities--that the problem was the health-insurance companies.
Gridlock and chaos takes the onus off the politicians and hides corporate influence. Now, they
can claim, "Oh my gosh, the President would love to do this and that--but the Republicans will
have none of it. Legislating is so hard!"

The fix is in.

And yes, it is bizarre that the media is playing up the Republican "enthusiasm" and a bunch
of baloney about the Dems not voting. It is weird. They're pushing the memes that they've
been told to push. It actually makes sense. The media is a tool of the corporatist politicians
and they're doing exactly what has been directed--help to secure Republican wins in November and
make the Democrats feel like no matter what they do--they still lose.
