this is not about the tea party. it is about independent voters.
the tea party influenced independent voters in the 2010 elections. but if independent voters think that Obama has moved to the middle, then they will no longer pay attention to the Tea Party.
as instructed by Alinsky, Obama will do anything ... anything ... to maintain power. He will do anything to win. and the media will help him.
He will sign the repeal of Obamacare. he will keep this from the Supreme Court. he will cut spending. and he will cut the deficit.
the independent voters will notice.
If Obama signs an Obamacare repeal (the only way it CAN be repealed before 2013), it will give us more time to concentrate on the other unpopular Obama policies. Since people do not like his big spending bill of early 2009 (the original cause of the Tea Party) this would leave him with fewer accomplishments than Carter.
After signing the repeal, another thing that will help Obama keep his power in 2012 is that he can blame the mean old Republican party for taking away everyone’s “free” healthcare. Folks keep underestimating just how completely stupid Obama voters are. They will eat that lie up because they are too mentally deficient to realize they are going to be penalized for NOT having healthcare, instead of getting it “free”.
Ignorant people get the government they deserve.
