The conservative outside group FreedomWorks has drawn up plans to spend nearly $8 million mobilizing and expanding the GOP base in Texas, in a move to counter state and national Democratic efforts to make the state more electorally competitive, POLITICO has learned.

In a twelve-page internal strategy document obtained by POLITICO, FreedomWorks says that the Republican Party should be alarmed in particular by the Democratic group Battleground Texas, which several Obama campaign officials founded this year with the mission of organizing liberal-leaning constituencies that currently vote at below-average rates.

Can you imagine what would happen if Democrats were hurriedly dropping money in California at the moment, the only thing keeping Sean Hannity and friends from needing a doctor at that point would be the fact they only have 3 hour shows. 8 Million in the grand scheme of things is only a Dick Armey payoff to the money machine, but they can see what's coming and it's going to be a fun fight watching Republicans fight like hell to keep any possible road to the White House open.

In urban areas people can come out to protest the horrific backwards poo poo the legislature tries to do, in the rest of the state they just show up at rallies during presidential elections and then vote overwhelming conservative. The plan is to generate enough counter protests from urban conservatives to distract attention from them while they gerrymander the gently caress out of the state so almost no democracts can hold state office.

It says something that most of his rant was about how federal marriage benefits aren't so great, so gays aren't really winning anything. As if the point of the gay marriage fight is about dollars and cents instead of respect and equality.

The truly rich just support both sides. Then it doesn't matter who the winner is because they are both bought off.


The Republicans are definitely the party of the temporarily embarrassed capitalist. They do a good job of winning over people so bad at running their small business, that they think cutting taxes and minimum wage will help them. And people who think they make it big one day and need to pass on millions of dollars to their children taxfree.

I was flabbergasted listening to Michael Savage on the way home. He was defending Trayvon Martin.

And I don't mean in a tippy-toe conservative pundit pussy way of "well we don't actually know what happened" but actually saying "how did George Zimmerman fire a gun if he was being beaten on the ground and I own the gun he used and he would have had to have loaded a round into the chamber prior to the incident because there is no way he could have done so under the circumstances he describes and so he must have been looking to shoot somebody."

He also said you have to look at it from the perspective of a young black kid in a white neighborhood with a beefy adult coming at you and Trayvon Martin was probably scared shitless and totally justified in defending himself if he did indeed beat down Zimmerman. He even said "some people say he had a troubled past but so what lots of kids have troubled pasts that doesn't mean anything."

Absolutely flabbergasted.

I heard the show too, and it was really weird as he was bouncing back and forth between "Obama and Al Sharpton are trying to foment racial conflict in this country" and "one guy had a gun, one guy didn't, the guy with the gun is alive, and his story just doesn't make sense."

Who were the two Republican candidates who actually said the shooting should be investigated further, before Obama divisively came along and agreed with them? I remember Gingrich was the first one to trash Obama for making the controversial statement "It is bad that this kid was shot."

This is what they mean when they say Obama is the most divisive president. He knew Republicans would be forced to disagree with him when he said that, and he said it anyway :argh:

He's one of those guys that goes on tangents and sort of gives away that he would rather be talking about something other than lovely politics. But talking lovely politics lets him eat at restaurants all the time, and own a boat, and afford to do all that in San Francisco.
