Yes, that’s the crux of it. People who are easily worked up by sound bytes… i.e. Beckies, Limbumps, Palinites, etc., and moved to mindless bumper sticker rhetoric WILL BE MOTIVATED to vote against their own best interests.
These people can spew the hate (you know those hot button words like Muslim, gay, socialist, Marxist, foreigner) and are so emotionally worked up that they will even ignore what the Tea Party candidates say about eliminating Social Security and Medicare, (even some of the Hispanics will vote for the Tea Party, ignoring their hatred towards anyone not of “European descent”) and the billionaire corporatists (who give lip service to “the little guy”) will quietly behind the scenes continue to spend $$$$$$$$$$ to work up the passions of the afraid, the old, the ignorant, and those who fondly remember the “good old days” when the cards were stacked in their favor, but woe to you if you were a minority, a woman or a child.
And because they are emotional, and easily stirred to fear, they will COME OUT AND VOTE. Yes they will.
And if the Centrists, the Independents and the Democrats can’t be bothered to vote – you know, the minorities, the young people, the women and the gays, it is indeed possible that the Extreme Right Wing of our country, funded by the richest corporate elitists, could conceivably control the laws and the lives of all Americans.
And after the Tea Party hands over our future to the Extreme Right Wing, and those Social Security payments and Medicare payments stop coming, ONLY THEN they will understand that once again, they have been had by the power elite.
