GOP Heads on Sticks

by Debra J. Saunders

Republican politicians are afraid of their base. Very afraid. Press folks have categorized the April 15 TEA parties — TEA for "Taxed Enough Already" — as anti-President Barack Obama, anti-government and even "anti-CNN."

To add to Mr. Sweeney's on-target commentary, the mob's all whipped up and nowhere to go, all right, and that mutant, rationality-immune pathogen that's sprung from the fourth estate is utterly out of control. The Limbaughs and all the other parasitic chiggers of the filthy rich right wing media are laughing all the way to the bank, and even you, Ms. Saunders, don't dare dis them.

Ma'am;...It makes real good sense for the republican party to fear its base... It has done everything possible to keep them working dead end jobs and praying for something better, and now all those poor slobs are mad at the mismanagement of the government and of their lives...The republicans have made their districts so secure and radicalized that they have no one to fear but some one more radical than themselves running against them in the primaries...It is their world, and they have made it that way... They are victims of their own devise...They are victims of the angry mob they have riled up, who really did not need an excuse, who know they have been used, and played, and kept stupid, and powerless... The mob does not know what to do...They know no one in any party has their best interest at heart... They hate the democrats, and have no trust in the republicans... How long do you think it will take before the people say to hell with this huge public debt designed only to feed the rich and keep capitalism malfuntioning for another round??? I think their patience is running thin... They fear socialism, but some where, in the backs of their minds they must realize capitalism does not work... What can they do??? Will they accept slavery??? Will they accept national poverty, and a nation debt denying them all opportunity and all their rights??? I can't say what they will do, and I am happy to tell them what to do...I am usually pretty good at seeing the future...I follow the advice of the Greeks, and never hope against hope... I think; that if I were a republican politician, that I would not spend much time trying to rile up the population...The population is plenty riled up, and the chances more rile will unrile them is slight...Thanks...Sweeney
