My Sense Is The GOP Thinks That They Have Already Bought The Election

The GOP believes it has already bought the election. And they believe all the voting schemes they are pushing will guarantee them the election. They seem to be doubling down on everything. And they have the media to fool the populace.

The reason I have concern is that Walker should have been recalled easily. The money spent there was just huge. I do not take anything for granted and have lost faith in the voters to make sensible choices. I have been hoping for 32 years that things would move in the right direction. I am still waiting.

I haven't. I believe most of the elected republicans have been so elected because of shenanigans in the vote counting process. There is plenty of proof of manipulations.

Based on all the stupid chatter I hear around me I am hardly confident. Many people around me hate Obama and Democrats with a passion as deep as the Civil War divide. And there was a bit of an incident today.

The person who is running in our district was out walking a precinct today and one of the other walkers was stung by a yellow jacket. This lady is very sensitive to stings. When our candidate walked up to this guy asking for some ice he asked her is she supported Obama. When he sensed she was a Democrat and went berserk about that N in the White House who had destroyed the country. Our candidate said that is not the point I need some ice. But the idiot was ranting at her and following her. He was not responding to the emergency request.

She did get some ice eventually. Our candidate thinks his wife got on his case for being an asshole when there was a potential emergency. The hatred is so deep and the Republicans are so stirred up anything is possible.

This election could really turn violent with the hate machine cranking up more and more every day.

Because my feelings are entirely opposite, that this is a throwaway election for them that they've already conceded. How can Romney, a sheep in sheep's clothing, be anything other than a throwaway candidate, like McCain and Dole were?
