Vote Against Obama in Iowa
Friday, December 30, 2011
...he [Obama] had to sign them in order to help normal Middle Class Americans from going under.
==========
You're the Obama supporter I originally wrote this about many moons ago, and since it was originally published, we have been treated to ever more proof of the truth of it:
Talk of Democratic politicians having no spines is greatly exaggerate d, just like Obama's timidity or "failure to lead" are myths: He's plenty tough when it comes to standing up to the Democratic base. I think Obama's "led" brilliantl y. He's managed to deliver to his Corporate Masters while convincing his 'most ardent supporters ' that he's either too nice, inept, or that his failures are because of Republican s, [pick your excuse].
Democratic voters have mistakenly believed that Obama and Democrats want what they want. The DLC-controlled Democratic Party gives lip service to all populist issues (like jobs, civil rights protection s, restoring habeas corpus, ending the wars, public healthcare , WallStreet reform, environmen tal and energy issues, etc.).
If the Bush years taught us anything, it's that anyone can sell anything to Americans, if you're stolid and relentless in your sales pitch and tactics. It's not that Bush and Rove were geniuses and knew something that nobody else knew; Bush and Rove were just more ruthless in doing what politicians and the parties had gone to great lengths to hide from Americans -- If you keep at it, escalate your attacks, don't take 'no' for an answer, never back away, you'll wear the opposition down.
Obama didn't get to be the first black president, vanquish Clinton's machine (to get the nomination) and the oldest, most experience d politician s in US history (including the RoveMachin e) by not having mastered these skills. Nor do Democratic politician s (more incumbents than ever, in office longer) not know how to do it. How do you think Democrats managed to keep impeaching BushCheney off the table, have us still reelecting them, not marching on Washington with torches and pitchforks ?
Obama and Democrats know how to do it -- They don't want to do it.
The trick for them has been to keep the many different populist groups believing that they really do support our issues, but they're merely inept. And to get us to keep voting for them despite their failure to achieve our alleged shared objectives.
Getting Democratic voters (and Obama's 'most ardent supporters') to understand that Democratic politician s have been taking us all for suckers and patsies is the most immediate problem and the challenge.
