Very much so, and a common dynamic. The GOP/RNC are invested. They are like the monkey with its hand inside the socialist/Washington cookie jar and they can not figure how to let go of the cookies, yet still get out of the jar.

Which they can't.

They want to manage their way out of, or at least along until ‘something’ happens, when we need leaders and fighters.

( I like to rag on Mitt. Supposedly he is a master of finance. He never really owns anything, he has been a consultant and a deal maker. Anyways, what is going on now, with the Fed, debt, taxes should be his political playpen. Yet, save for a few old hoary cliche's, he's been silent. I really think it is because of fear. Fear of losing what money he made. Fear of taking a stand, but we know that. Fear of risking his life long, but ultimately purposeless goal of the White House.

That's why I voted for McCain after Hunter and Thompson dropped out. I felt that in some crazy organic way, that McCain would get mad, disgusted and fight. I never felt that way about Mitt. Matter of fact, none of his family males, ever, since they came to this country before the Civil War, have ever worn a uniform. Romneys don't fight. They are trimmers, marginalist, managers, incrementalists, risk adverse. )

I don't think/feel that we are any more in a time in which we can make decisions based upon metrics of the last fifty years. It is all falling apart and none of the tools, and techniques are producing the expected results. It's like being at Chernobyl and trying to throw the right switches and yet still the reactor goes critical.

I don't think we are in anything like the 20 and 30’s and I don't think Bernanke and Timmy The Tax Cheat with their delusional view of these events being the 1930 redux will not only not work, but will make things worse.

After that, the deluge, the flood, script printing for liquidity. They'll do it, they already are, they will do it because of immediate need of citizens to be able to script purchase foods and fuels.

I'm hearing of a strong need for working people to grow dope, make alcohol, smuggle cigarettes. The tax level her in Massachusetts on cigarettes is so high, that it pays well to take 2 grand, go to N. Carolina, fill a 20' cardboard box full of cartons of cigarettes, place it in your trunk, drive back, pay gas, tolls, a room for the night, meals, be back the next day, and make a thousand dollars profit, for two days driving and supplying cigarettes at near half cost. I know car mechanics, good ones, that work out of industrial bays, for cash only. Hows a legit guy supposed to pay taxes and compete? Ditto house painters, landscapers, carpenters, masons, lawyers taking cash, women accountants selling their female(ness) to road tar companies as 'female owned' even though they haven't been to the company in years. (Heck we just had a 10-40 million dollar Boston Trolley accident where the driver was a woman that became a 'man', that got the job as a minority because it was a he/she...er...what ever) So, you got the welfare class that don't pay taxes and the elderly that are hooked on the government tit, they are the reserve army of Democrats serfs. You got the rich like Mitt and the GOP who are like you said the Nobles who are on the wings, ready to swoop in to leadership and wealth after the unwashed conservatives do the work, and you have a the 20% of Americans that work directly for the government. In a amoral way, you can see why the managerial class of the the GOP is so gutless. And, yet they want the titles of political leadership with none of the fight, none of the risk to THEM personally( that's why after every election they run over to the Democrats, grovel, and make public displays of political submissiveness. All that 'my good friend/bipartisain BS crap)
