Somehow, and no matter how it was, it was she did nothing to deserve it, my wife has ended up on a right wing mailing list. It first started with Sharon Angle (remember her?) and as these things will, it has metastasized until just about every right wing organization is writing to her.
She normally writes back. No use wasting the free postage on those business reply envelopes.
Today, she got a missive from Scott Walker, who is warning his fellow conservative that if big unions can have their way in Wisconsin, it could happen here! Poor Scotty is the victim of a number of nefarious plotters:
President Obama’s Political Machine.
The Moveon.org Radicals.
Liberal Billionaire George Soros’ attack organizations.
The Ultra-Left Wing Elites from Hollywood and Manhattan.
The list goes on and on, and the millions pile up.
All poor Scotty has to combat them are the millions from the Koch Brothers. Assuming, of course, that they haven’t decided that he’s toast and that, anyway, he’s served his purpose.
This kind of stuff makes me wonder if there is another country in the world in which such a large portion of the population has been propagandized not only into voting against its own interest, but in funding the people that are doing the propagandizing. I get it that the Koch Brothers achieve their purposes (It is not enough that they succeed, everyone else must fail) by funding this guy, but whom among the 99.9% benefits?
If the Democrats have their smarts about them (is that an oxymoronic statement?) they would, in states like Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Florida, campaign against the newly elected and, for the most part, deeply unpopular governors as exemplars of what we have to look forward to if the Vulture (yes, I still think he’ll win) gets elected.
UPDATE: Looks like the unions has the same idea that I did.
