I've been thinking the same thing. Blitz socialism for a year then moderate before the elections. then bliz, then moderate. They know election campaigns are getting longer so they have to operate faster and do it quick before people realize it. actually the sheeple will not ever notice it unless people like us have enough time to wake people up.
So, what does Alinsky have to say about this?
It is easier to fool the people when you have the media helping you. NOT once during the campaign (McCain stinks on this) was it stressed that Obama was the leftist member of congress, even left of the declared socialist Bernie Sanders. Over and over again we heard how he was a moderate. Even McCain said he would be a great president.
