I agree with Chris. Let themstay there and lose. RMONEY is a near pic. perfect example of Americas tone deaf insular and arrogant Corp. elite today. They don't care what anyone else thinks or says and can't understand when they don't want to go along and do as they say. This is the reaction of people that are used to getting what they want when they want it from underlings. It's also the basis of their campaign to disenfrancise the prolies . They don't agree with or like our democracy in this country. Limbaugh was right out front about it last yr. when he publically said as much. He told his listeners and the world in his opinion the poor shouldn't have any right to vote. The GOP has been trying to get laws passed wherever they rule to do just that. The public gets it and so we are seeing the dawning awareness in the herd that it's leaders don't like it or work in it's favor. We get it. The problem with this is that it's now apparent that we no longer have what I call a democratic consensus anymore. One party wants a democracy and the other wants a pure Oliogarchy/Plutocracy with voting restricted to tha narrower and narrower elite. This is a dangerous and unstable situation going forward. The elites are in essence seceding from the rest of us, not by state but by class.

You are the hitting the proverbial nail on the head here many many times. They are tone deaf, they do not believe in democracy, they do support unequal access depending on class and status, they do support top down authority. It will be interesting to see what type of new movements the right will develop after Obama's re-election. Will we get Tea Party version 2, some new truther movement, some new secessionist movement(one can dream), etc, etc. I do know we will get all the vitriolic nonsense we have gotten now cranked up exponentially.
