[Turborama]

By AlterNet's Adele M. Stan

The left shouldn't underestimate Reed's billionaire-bankrolled right-wing voting machine: http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/christian-right-rescue-how-clueless-romney-could-still-win

Valid concerns about the release of their Teahadist minions, or nothing to worry about and we should be flattered by their attempt at imitation?

1. He went into hiding for a reason

I'm sure his old pal Jack Abramoff could tell us why.

2. Ralph Reed's over the top survey

This is the survey that Ralph Reed is sending out to get people to commit to voting against Obama. Like everything else the right does these days, it seems like it should be something that is put out by the Onion, but it is real as far as I can tell.

4. Thom Hartmann had a segment on it just now

On his Big Picture program. Can't find online yet but will add when it's up.

Mother jones have an article about it, though: http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/09/ralph-reed-obama-mailer-nazi-communist

3. One of my theories about why Romney is such a crappyass candidate. He knows he doesn't have to

bother.

5. Romney's mistake was going with the Christian right

The religious right is a shrinking demographic in this country. It cannot win them the White House anymore.

Conservatives don't seem to understand that. Meanwhile the Tea Party has scared off moderates, and the GOP has screwed the libertarians at the convention.

And they wonder why they aren't winning?

6. I do not understand how these people can claim a moral highground.

It's just crap.
