GOP to Voters: Duck — ISIS, Ebola, Obama-care in Your Face

"Cream of the Fear Mongering Crop"

Typical Voter this Cycle 

(the GOP hopes for)

With all the valid reasons not to reelect any GOPer incumbent, or any GOP candidate this cycle, the winds sadly are in their favor (if you trust the polls). The GOP fear and hate PR machine is heavily oiled (read: tons of fresh money) and the wind effect is at their (they think). They in essence not running on ideas or the future, but running full steam against Mr. Obama. They hope and pray that fear and hype and worry on the part of the voters will carry them across the finish line. But, it shouldn't ...

Lead-in clip here (about 5-minutes) - watch and see if you agree or not:

Next month's election will have a major surprise and message for us if it goes their way. It would be a sad message for the country, however, one that says: 

FEAR and HATE are still good GOP products on sale. Get 'em while their hot!!!

We have seen Benghazi (still out there for some like Rep. Issa); the IRS Ohio mess; votes to repeal Obama-care (over 50 failed votes); the Secret Service sex scandal(s) – you name it. Now we have ISIS (in your backyard and close) and Ebola on your door step to worry about as the GOP goes into deeper worry wart territory.

But, none of us are likely to get Ebola or know anyone who will. 

ISIS isn't massed and ready to pour across our borders, either.

If the GOP does take the Senate (which is possible, but not likely I think), we would get deeper gridlock (*if that's even possible). That is not my fear and alarm bell, either. It is based reality and the facts (gridlock and such) over the past 6 years.

You want fear: Just imagine Mitch McConnell (who made Obama a one-term president, right?) in charge of the Senate, right there along side Speaker Boehner in the “ever do anything” House. Ouch.

Selling fear is also good for the media, but surprise, surprise (said with Gomer Pyle accent), FOX’s Shep Smith went a little off-script (or the deep end some might say) when he said about Ebola: “Do not listen to the hysterical voices on the radio and the television, or read the fear-provoking words online (talking about Ebola). You have to remember, that there is politics in the mix.” Double ouch.

B/L (if there is a bottom to all this): The GOP is banking on fear and hype. If so, then the next two years would be a massive [fill in the blank] (*my choice is shit storm).  

Stay tuned and watch how you and your friends vote. Oops.
