We’ve all heard of ways in which the GOP is working to steal the election, including through voter suppression and election fraud. But as I thought about this and researched the possibilities, I concluded that the GOP may already be working on numerous plans to defeat Dems in November:

Voter Suppression: *** (more at link)
Election Fraud: ***
Electronic Voting Machines: ***
Increased Gas Prices: ***
Supreme Court Ruling on Obama’s Affordable Care Act: ***
SuperPACs monopolizing air time: ***
Neocons stage private talks with Israeli hard-liners on delaying an attack on Iran: ***
GOP House leaders de-funding key programs to hurt the poor: ***
The Nuclear Option: ***

Some may find these plans alarming, expected, unlikely, or borderline conspiracy theories, but what scares me is that they are all possible. And if I’ve learned anything about today’s radical, Republican Tea Party, its that they are capable of virtually anything.

3. Verbal Brass Knuckle Time

The GOP has declared war on democracy and war on voting. It is time to take out the verbal brass knuckles and go after these mafia racist thugs and go after them with a vengeance. It is time to go after their town halls just like they did ours.

These snakes will simply keep slithering around until they have won. We are in a political civil war for where the country will go. The Democrats are too busy playing parliamentary bean bag while they get their butts drug all over the floor. Unless we politically terrorize these bastards they will never quit.

Every day they pursue a scorched earth policy. The step over the line every day more and more. We have to be prepared to step over the line and verbally bloody them. They are psychopaths who intent to take over the government and deliver it to the churches. We need to treat them like the political and economic terrorists that they are.

People of conscience need to ally themselves with OWS and follow all the GOP terrorists where ever they are and haunt them and harass them. Republicans who vote for this tripe are as racist and bigoted as their candidates.

Sorry, but they have declared war on the left and made no bones about it. If they win in 2012 the country will cease to exist.AS a veteran I will never pledge allegiance to a government run by Republicans.

4. Don't forget the wars on women, blacks, hispanics, and liberal Christians.

I honestly don't see how they can piss people off on so may levels and win anything.

5. They Win By Cheating

We simply have to get militant with the GOP. You can't defeat a bully unless you scared the crap out of them. The writing is on the wall.

6. I wonder whether Anonymous might do something

to change the Repukes' planned outcome

7. I don't think their shenanigans will work this time.

Even their strongest candidate, Romney, has been so demolished by the other loser clowns that its pretty much over.

8. How will any Supreme Court ruling on HCR hurt us?

There are only 3 options:

1) Uphold the entire law as written. Obvious win for us.

2) Overturn the entire law. Less obvious win for us but still a win. The majority of Americans want this much reform or more. The only way you get polls against HCR is if you include people (like myself) who disapprove of the law because it does not go far enough with those who disapprove because they want less reform, or no reform at all. There are also millions of seniors who would be told they are now losing help paying for their prescription drugs and millions of families who would have members aged 18-26 thrown off their parent's policies.

3) Overturn the mandate as a stand alone clause. Biggest possible win for us. The mandate was a conservative idea and Pres. Obama ran against the mandate in 2008. It was one of the few differences he had with Sen. Clinton concerning policy. We would still have all the protections included in the new law plus we would not be forced to buy something we don't want to buy.



I agree that the GOP will lie, cheat and steal to try to win elections but I don't see how any ruling on the Supreme Court can do anything to harm us. If anything, waiting to rule on it would be the worst possible outcome for us.
