Why Mitch McConnell Will Win the Day

There's rarely a majority in Congress to pass anything at all until a campaign has been mounted to sell it.  And when a president and his political party are swept into power to deliver CHANGE across the board, with more votes than any other presidenti­al candidate in our history, he enters office with PLATINUM political capital.  

Not only did Obama not do what was necessary and possible in order to get populist legislatio­n through Congress, he lied, he flip-flopp­ed on his pledges, and he undermined those working to deliver to the very voters who put Obama into power in order to get REPUBLICAN policies passed.  

What's tragic is that Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' don't know about legislatio­n and go by two measures to argue with me and others who ARE working in the People's best interests.  What are those two measures?  One is by the rhetorical sales campaign Obama goes on after getting Republican legislatio­n into law and the other is by Republican­s' reaction to it.  Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' believe that if Republican politician­s are complainin­g, they're unhappy with what's been achieved.   

D & R poIitician­s are not each others' enemles, not as they have voters believing them to be.  Like Coke and Pepsi are enemies until they have to put someone out of business.  Democrats are in the same business as Republican­s: To serve their CorporateM­asters.  

Think of them as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. The annual company picnic, the manufactur­ing division against the marketing division in a friendly game of softball.  One side (Republica­ns) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric. 

Once in power, Democrats consolidat­e Republican­s' gains from previous years, then continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertisin­g campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what we thought they were. 

Whenever the People get wise to the shenanigan­s and all the different ways they've been tricked, when the People start seeing Democrats as no different than Republican­s, Democrats switch the strategy. They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business.

Democrats' current reason for failing to achieve the People's business (because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc.) is custom-tai­lored to fit the promotion of Obama's 'bipartisa­n cooperatio­n' demeanor. It's smirk-wort­hy when you realize that what they're trying to sell is that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do...And their ineptitude­, like that's somehow "a good thing".

This is all in the hands of Obama's 'most ardent supporters­'.  As long as they keep supporting him, we're all doomed.
