The playbook of the Republican party is to transfer as much power as possible from the individual, to corporate America. I think what is important for us to understand is that the Republican party of today, has no interest whatsoever in working with the dems. They are a despotic party trying to gain power by any means. Despots like Hitler and Stalin had no interest in compromise. Only to gain control. Their actions were aimed only at seizing complete power by whatever means necessary. The idea that there is someplace to compromise between the parties is just wrong. The Republican's only goal is to regain power at any cost. For 60 years now, the Republican's have used fear to win elections and maintain control. American's are very jingoistic and militaristic by culture and the right wing exploits that. Nixon hated democracy and envied Kruschev not having to deal with a congress. And Nixon was a red baiter. In the 50's it was fear of Russia, so we elected a general over a statesman and had the House of Unamerican activities created by the evil Joe Macarthy. Nixon used the same play book, as did Raygun and especially lil bush. IN the 80's Lee Atwater used racism, gays, guns and god to win the south and the elections. And the fear of "big bad "liberals". And then started to disassemble our society and transfer it into the hands of the corporations. Corporate America has a plan to gain control of America and they use the Republican party to enact their plan; and the Republican party uses the naive and especially the naive in the south. And interestingly the only blemish on the dems record was LBJ and the dems got rid of him. Karl Rove and the C street neo cons preached tactics directly from Hitler, Stalin and even Pol Pot! Which is the reason, Wharfrat and I preached from the very beginning that Obama was foolish to not recognize what the right wing really is. >>They are indeed irrational considering that they find no common ground on any social issue that the White House puts forward. I even noticed that they are very convoluted in their thinking in that they cannot even ask a straight forward question. And that retort by Barack when he interrupted the questioner from Texas and quipped "Look, I know there is a question somewhere out there and I hope I will have the time left to answer it.....". That was a golden retort in oratory.
