George McGovern and the Tea Party

The base of the Democratic Party, 70% of Democratic voters, controlled the outcome of the midterms.  Liberals lost 3 seats in all.  Democratic voters not showing up is what caused Blue Dogs and others to lose.  

Obama can't win in 2012 without the base showing up.  He knows this, and it's why I believe that no sooner did he get into the White House than he and Rahm Emanuel went after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, two people with no official roles in the Republican Party.  After the 2008 election, Republican­s were on the mat, down for the count, and Obama pardoned them.  He never, still doesn't, go after Republican­s.  

Obama did as much to elevate the Tea Party to prominence as the Koch brothers and Dick Armey.  He's counting on Sarah Palin being the Republican Party's nominee in 2012, and running a campaign of fear.  That's not just to get Democrats to show up to vote for him out of fear of Palin, but moderate Republican politician­s and their supporters­, too.  He's hoping for crossover voting, in big waves.  

I'm sure there will be more Osama Bin Laden tapes surfacing right before the election, along with news all over the media about thwarted t3rr0r attacks and how it was all due to our lost privacy rights, and how necessary it is to "keeping us safe".  

When you're talking about trillions of dollars that can be borrowed in the names of Americans and their children and then stolen, there are no lengths these politician­s won't go to.
