If Republicans are not victorious next month, it will not be the fault of the conservative base. The moderates and their consultants will own this disaster....

It will be an interesting election.

The GOPe has alienated their supporters. The Marxists have alienated everybody but the government unions.

Is it possible that the government is manipulating all of us (whatever we call ourselves), to whatever the government wants?

All of us are paying the taxes and being herded around like sheep. We are supposed to be the electorate who chooses the public servants.
To me, it looks like we never have a real choice. And we seem to be the ones serving the government.

It's not just possible, it's highly likely.
