Why GOP So Absolutely Desperate For Power

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP is so desperate for power because they want to find a way to permanently "game the vote". Voter ID is really only just the beginning of what we will see in the future if they do get the kind of power they desperately thirst for. Rove and his minions have not given up their idea that the GOP will be the only party in this country with any political power. They believe that this time is their chance to take over and permanently guarantee their political power for generations.

Gaming the vote, gerrymandering, intimidation, politically redlining neighborhoods, infiltrating the education system, and using their bought media etc, or whatever secret plans they have is being pursued with vigor. Nothing would be more gratifying to the GOP and its supporters than to see that only THEIR votes count in the future. They are trying to get ahead of demographics when it comes to minorities, the poor, the elderly, the young etc. If they can pass laws, stack courts, disenfranchise opposition groups, they can very well succeed in this "one party" quest.

It is very clear by their rhetoric that they are ready to crush freedom and liberty despite the fact that they use such terms incessantly. The GOP view as we all know really is a white supremacist Christian nation. Now more than ever they are very open about what they intend. And they dare anyone to interfere with their plans.

Romney represents just one more step in the direction they seek even if he is not a Christian in their eyes. They are convinced that the money, distortion, media ownership and election fraud will do the trick for them.

Whether progressives like what Obama has done or not, he is our only choice right now. Perhaps he has learned that you cannot negotiate or compromise with these people.

1. Quite Correct, Sir

In the final analysis, they are simply fighting for white supremacy, and that as tool for the rule of those who own great property.

[Kablooie]

6. That statement should be qualified...

"fighting for older, white, rich, male, supremacy"

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. they are panicking because they are on the cusp of extinction. n/t

3. Whenever they don't have control of the levers, they run the risk

of being arrested for their blatantly illegal behavior.

7. +1.000

4. Because they are authoritarians to the very core of their beings..

You can't be part of today's Republican party and not be an authoritarian, the GOP exudes a miasma of authoritarianism from every diseased pore.

9. True, and great link, thanks.

[HopeHoops]

5. There's a word for that: "fascism"

[Initech]

8. The words "dangerous thugs" don't even begin to describe the GOP.

[BanTheGOP]

10. The GOP needs to be DESTROYED

There is NO other action that can be done to save this country and, more importantly, this planet.

11. Remember, a NON-VOTING working class is a GOP wet dream.

Plantation economics. Ante-bellum politics.

[fusilier0770]

15. An antebellum society

And many of the same working class are willingly putting themselves in their own shackles.

[Iliyah]

12. No matter what is said

the GOP party reminds me of WWI and WW2 - Nazis. When they say history repeats itself I guess its true.

13. They're time is just about up.

14. Their. oops

16. Started with ACORN

This plan to disenfranchise voters has been in the works since the beginning.

17. They are probably thinking

"As long as we don't invade Poland, we won't share Hitler's fate."

[AllyCat]

18. One more reason to have more than two competitve parties in this country.

I'd love to see 4 or 5 parties in legitimate contention for any race.

The GOP say they are all about the "free market" and "competition", but they actually just want to squash competition and be a monopoly.

19. You're sounding terribly paranoid

But even paranoids have real enemies. And you are quite correct about what they are up to. They have been working on gaming the system for a long, long time.

[phiddle]

20. "Crossroads", the name of KKKarl Rove's GPS

says it all. If they should gain the presidency and with it the power to name at least 2 and up to 4 Supreme Court Justices, they could semi-permanently alter the course of American Democracy. The Commerce Clause, voter rights, money in politics, executive power, you name it would be arranged by judicial fiat according to the wishes of the plutocracy.

and her voice is old and faint.
