Ahh. Tactics.
Republicans are amateurs compared to Mubarak.


This is Tea-party Politics writ large.

He is forcing them to be violent, and will blame them for being violent, and then ask for sympathy for having to crack down.

1. If anything, he's only refining their tactics.
"Elect me, and I'll prove that Big Government doesn't work"
"Let's cut SS taxes in order to prove SS is broke"

Same tactics every time. Just ask "why?" every time they propose something. The obvious thing is to look for the opposite of what they say ("Clean Skies", "Healthy Forests", "Patriot Act", "NCLB"), harder to look for the more subtle trends.
