How is that Packing for Guantanamo Coming? Primary Obama in the GOP

i
We, the grass roots Democrats, have begged our leaders to challenge Obama, but they are either distracted by dirty tricks aimed at removing their Congressional districts or by their own lack of certain organs required for giving them courage.

Now all but three Senate Democrats (Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, and Tom Harken, four if you count Socialist Bernie Sanders) have voted to let Obama and future Republican Presidents haul your progeny, yourselves and your parents off to Guantanamo without charges or trial and to detain you and your loved ones for life.   Check the vote on the Defense Appropriations (World Battlefield/Detention) Act, number 218 in the current Senate roll call votes.  One source is Thomas.loc.gov.

Barack Obama himself repeatedly voted to renew the PATRIOT Act and to give the Secretary of Homeland Security the right and authority to be above all laws, including murder, rape and terrorism (see Real ID act, section 102).   

With Obama bailing out the banks and becoming the mastermind behind a city by city national police assault on Americans, violently removing OWS campsites, do we really want four more years of more wars, Wall Street bailouts, tax cuts for the rich, cuts in Social Security and Medicare, foreclosures and evictions, and the elimination of what is left of our rights?

The problem in 2008 was Democrats never told Obama he had to do anything at all  in exchange for their votes.   Hence, since 2008, Obama has gotten through more Republican legislation and crushed more Democratic hopes and dreams than any other President in the history of America.

What's next?   Nuclear war with California and sterilizing all first-born children of parents in the 99%?   Don't laugh.   The Defense Authoriation/Detention of All bill that was passed by the Senate last week would have seemed implausible in 2008.

Of all organizations, the Jewish Republican Coalition has told us how to really primary Obama.   In excluding Presidential candidate Ron Paul from their debate,   the Coalition's Executive Director Matt Brooks said that it would be, "like having Obama in the debate."   In other words, the Jewish Republican Coalition feels that Ron Paul is as much of a Democrat as Barack Obama.   So, if Ron Paul is nominated, we will get our chance to primary Obama in November of 2012.

Think of all the issues that will be discussed in the final debates.   Ron Paul is opposed the wars/occupations of the Middle East (more money home), wants to cancel NAFTA (bring back jobs), wants to withdraw from the WTO (bring back more jobs), wants to close down the Federal Reserve (end the theft of our money by a private corporation), opposes corporate and Wall Street welfare (no more corporate/Wall Street bailouts), opposes the death penalty (too bad he wasn't President when Troy Davis was murdered), wants to overturn the PATRIOT Act and restore the Bill of Rights and wants to protect the rights of third parties voters.    Where Democrats differ is on social issues.  Obama will have to stand up and differentiate himself as Obama has sold out on every social issue before him since 2008.   In order to win, Obama would have to show that he not only is better on pulling us out of war and restoring our freedom and saying no to the banks (a huge problem since he has been for war, removal of our civil liberties and giveaways to the banks) but that he would actually do something a Republican wouldn't do on issues of Social Security and national health care.

It is more than conceivable that Ron Paul will win the Republican nomination.   He is polling second in Iowa and third in New Hampshire.   His only opposition comes from the corporations and their lackeys.

Unlike the Iowa Democratic Caucuses, the Iowa Republican caucuses are democratic.   In the Democratic Caucuses, there is a threshold vote that is required for getting any delegates at all.   Hence Democratic candidates have to make deals with each other to get Iowa delegates. The Republicans award delegates based on the caucus vote with no threshold to exclude candidates from getting if they are popular enough to get votes.

Democrats might as well stay home as vote in the Democratic caucus in Iowa as there is no opposition to Obama.   So reregistering and voting where it counts is a good alternative.   Everyone can be sure, the Obama forces are planning to do just that in order to ensure a Romney or Perry victory.

The Republicans could win or come closer to winning by a Paul nomination too. Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are Obama's best hopes for re-election.   America isn't going to elect a Mormon President, especially not one connected to Gulag Schools that torture children and send them home in body bags (See George Miller's House hearings on the Gulag Schools run by Romney's top financier Robert Lichfield).    So Mitt Romney's out.  His campaign is his postmortem.   Rick Perry is executing everyone in sight, including little old ladies.   He has a speaking IQ that resembles that of George W. Bush.   He is so extreme and stupid that Obama would win by default.   Michael Moore even questioned whether putting up loser candidates like Romney and Perry meant that Republicans already had their man (Barrack Obama) in place in the White House.

Paul. on the other hand. could count on votes from the fiscal Republicans of yesteryear, on independents, and on a third or more of the registered Democrats.   Unless Obama is up to the challenge and offers Americans something they haven't seen in his first three years in office, the Republicans will reclaim the White House under Paul, while Obama would at most claim votes from part of his own party in an Obama-Paul race.   Obama would have to fight for votes and offer the people something in exchange for those votes.

There is one more possible plus to a Paul nomination.   Four years ago, Paul said he would consider Dennis Kucinich for a running mate.   So with a Paul nomination, the Republicans could have a realistic chance at the White House, the winner (whether Obama or Paul) would be forced to end the bank bailouts and the wars, and Dennis Kucinich could become one of the two top men in America.   It is a no-lose situation for anyone (Democrat or Republican) fed up with the status quo.

Like Kucinich, Paul is facing opposition from Wall Street, from the corporations (including the news media that is already trying to push him out of the race), from the war lobbies and from the Military Industrial Complex that President Dwight Eisenhower warned us about.   If Paul wins Iowa, they won't be able to keep him out of any further debates.   The war policy, our rights and corporate bailouts will become up front and center in the debates.   Let's make that happen so that the election turns on who supports the people, rather than who supports the corporations and the war machine.
