And what if the GOP-e and the weak “opponent” were actually on the same side in all of this?
Their first target of destruction being what you are witnessing?
Would you begin to understand a little bit more about where we have actually arrived?
It's a compelling argument but one that has gaps.
I see Obama being driven to socialism by belief in such. I see the GOP-E driven to such by fear of standing up to the populace and possibly losing their own perks and power because of such.
However, they also have different governing principles - the GOP-E will not actively seek to sandbag the economy the way Obama and the Dems do. And I think that is the difference those willing to vote for Romney see - that Obama is killing the economy and Romney would give it a respite. But would that respite come at the cost of entrenching the GOP-E to the point where much more serious and needed reforms in government would become much more difficult if not impossible?
That is the economic impass here. It doesn't even begin to touch on the social impact that having a choice between these two cretins represents.
