“When people find that they can vote themselves money from the treasury, that will herald the end of the republic.”
George Bernard Shaw of all people said: "When the government takes from Peter to give to Paul, he (the government) can rest assured of the support from Paul"
My theory is that the GOP establishment is willing to concede the election to Obama as long as they control the house and the senate. But it assumes that the tea party will fall in line and support the GOP initiatives (i.e Romney). But what if they stay home? Party affiliation has been at their lowest in generations and to presume that the tea party folks will "fall in line" like African Americans do for the democrats is presumptuous at best and demonstrates the fatal conceit of these supposed powebrokers in the GOP that they are not in tune with the zeitgeist of the American people. We may be witnessing the death of the GOP as we know it. What if the GOP lose the house and the senate with Romney? The economy may be sputtering but the narrative is controlled by a liberal elite and we will hear how good it is getting and blah blah blah. Four more yrs of Obama with a house and senate controlled by liberals will be the end of America as we know it.
