Journey into Tinfoilhatville with me for a sec.....Re: This November and the Repugs.....

Are we being set up? ......

All these public confessionals by Repugs about the slaughter they're going to endure this November, and McCain's imcompetent campaign have me a little concerned.....Are the Dems going to claim the White House and an even larger Congressional majority this fall, only to have the economy fall completely apart, as planned?

Somebody tell me my tinfoil's on too tight. :tinfoilhat:

because Stupid has so totally fouled up everything he's touched that they know there is nothing within the bounds of GOP dogma that can possibly be done to make any of it better, even for the wealthy.

I doubt this was the RNC's choice. I think it was an individual choice by men who are just barely smart enough to know what's going on.

McCain is a third stringer now. He's too old for the job, his health is not good, and he's completely out of ideas of his own. His own party can't stand him, not the paleocons or the theocrats. The neocons don't completely trust him, and that's about all that's left in that party.

They don't expect to win this time.

However, the real wild card in all of this is going to be Barr. He's a darling of the theocons and the paleocons. He is running third party, which means he'll be attractive to the sort of Democrats who do cross party lines because they've been taught to hate liberals or college boys or blacks or women. The GOP doesn't expect to win. Their votes might just all go to Barr.

They also didn't plan to be losing elections to Democrats in blood red districts.

Wait until after November when Bush rounds up all his little buddies and tells them to completely fuck the Stock Market.

I've also wondered if perhaps they're saying that so we don't campaign as hard, and then miraculously McCain swoops in and wins.

But somehow I find both highly unlikely.

Yes, the economy is going to fall apart. Nothing can be done to change that now.

No, it wasn't planned. After all, the Republicans haven't been able to do ANYTHING right for the last eight years. And none of those rich Republicans wants the economy to crash. The only thing they can do is lose the election and hope that the Democrats get blamed for the Republican-caused catastrophe.

Now do you feel better?

Of course, I am not discounting that the economy is going to completely fall apart around the time that President Obama takes office. Whether it does just before of just afterwards will make no difference. We have spent the better part of 7½ years listening to the Frat Boy's minions give him credit for any thing that goes right (even when it really isn't going right) and blame Clinton when it goes wrong, no matter how many years since Clinton left office the claim was made.

I would rather Senator Obama lose in a landslide in November than govern in the passive-aggressive manner that Mr. Bush did. That's one of the reasons why we need change.

In November, we will entrust President-elect Obama with a mandate to clean up the mess Mr. Bush is leaving. If in 2012, significant progress has not been made toward that goal, no one will care that is was Mr. Bush, not President Obama, who made the mess. It will be Obama's job to clean it up, and if he fails, he will be replaced by a Republican who promises to right what's wrong.

The American people are not as stupid as Republicans, or even some people here, think. They know who's mess it is. They also know who's responsibility it will be to clean it up.

As the next President of the United States would say, we are up to taking that responsibility. We are the leaders we've been waiting for.
