You would be correct about the Dems if this were a business-as-usual political battle. However, America is now dealing with a Marxist president. Make no mistake; he has a plan, even if he denies it. BHO will do whatever it takes to destroy capitalism and our republic.
An October surprise? You bet. Will it work? Probably. Everything has so far.
The commie financiers figured out long ago the best way to destroy free market capitalism is to exploit it's very freedoms, thereby enriching themselves while using their bought/paid media/academia to spread the evils of capitalism to the gullible hollywood brainf$#%ed masses(in other words... a win/win for the bad guys).
What was it the commie said "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them".... Make no mistake, those who are manufacturing & selling the ropes are NOT proponents of capitalism, and rest assured they will NOT be the ones swinging from "their" ropes when the shyt hits the fan.
In the business world I guess this might be called a "hostile takeover"(destroy capitalism)...not this one...it's a slow, methodical process based on manipulation through deception.
...and with the election of Obama/other Trotskyites...I'd say it shows the anti-capitalists are well on their way to achieving their goals.
