OBAMA REPUBLICANS : or THE RISE OF REPUBLICAN POPULISM...
Obama is being held hostage by the Goldman Sachs Wall Street Mafia...there is no doubt about that...Much of the "disapproval" of Obama's "job performance" is Progressives who think he is too timid...and too much under the thumb of his Wall Street backers... Hence the cosmetic departure of Daley...Like Clinton...Obama was supposed to "feel our pain" but not do much about it... Of course the Bush Collapse and Depression made that situation even worse...We know that the "answer" to the Depression is not impoverishing the collapsing middle class even more...!Far from being radical and socialist...Obama is really pushing the policies that were part of the Repubican Gospel as recently as the late 1990s...!Ron Paul is very popular with "Obama Republicans"...a/k/a "RayGun Democrats"...people who should be voting Democratic...but can't because of their racial, regional or religious "situation"...many of these people are also uninformed. less educated ....or informed only by Fox or AM Hate RadioThis issue of "Republican Populism" is new...!! It started with the Tea Party...but was still confused about what it wanted... Did Teabagger Granny really want her Medicare Cancelled...?Paul's Free Drugs and No Wars message could be right out of the Democratic "Hippie" Left...! And he's drawing 25% of Primary Republicans...!POPULAISM IS IN THE AIR... Even the Republicans are getting in on it...!Unfortunately for Republicans the only question now is ...is Mit Romney big enough to fill Bob Dole's shoes...?I say he is...!
