Early Voting Shows Surprising Turnout For Democrats

Thursday, October 21, 2010


The Koch brothers are getting a lot of press for their role in the Tea Party's rise, but the truth is that they got a lot of help from Obama, Rahm Emanuel & the DLC machine.



Obama came into the WhiteHouse with Republicans not just on the ropes, but on the mat & down for the count. Obama issued a pardon & let them rise again.



After just one month in the White House, instead of going after Republicans & how their failed policies have brought us to the brink of destruction, instead of hammering BushCheneyGOP for our economic woes & wars of choice, Obama & RahmEmanuel went gunning for SarahPalin & RushLimbaugh, two people with no role in the RepublicanParty.



Obama & Emanuel never mentioned MitchMcConnell, JohnBoehner, EricCanter, KarlR0ve, GeorgeW, H.W., JebBush, Cheney, NOBODY who is actually IN the RepublicanParty as the problem. They still don't.



The Tea Party serves them in several ways. If they could choose any Republican to run against in 2012, it would be Palin, and elevating the Tea Party makes that more of a possibility.



It also lets Democrats keep a legislative agenda to the right of center. If the teabaggers are far rightwing, then everything to their left is ground the Democrats can claim (and that's a lot of ground).
