This brings up the question as to why do the Elite Republican Party wish for four more years of omama and the answer is simple. They view this as an opportunity to destroy both the Conservative Movement and the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party movement, both of whom they despise. Should Romney somehow win, they will take it, but the plan is to give obama four more years and by then the GOP and Democrats will be just two flavors of the same brand: Socialism.
