If they can divide us into enough different factions they will have succeeded in destroying the entire country in only 8 years.

4. My money is on protecting us from gay marriage when the SS train runs
out of steam. And thank God for that because I know my wife is just waiting for it to be legal and off she will go to marry her lesbian lover.

6. Right now they are after the Democratic plurality. Separating Joe
Lieberman and other Israeli Hawks from the Democratic herd is a priority. I imagine all they need is a small percentage of the Jewish vote.

Hell - they will take anything! Even 3% of African American through the black baptists is a worthy prize for them.

So look for divisions within the Democratic Party to be highlighted.

Look for an attack on all things that make us different form each other: race, religion, hawkishness, economics, market understanding, dreamers, union types, those who see abortion as a necessary evil from those who think it should be on demand and considered trite, etc. etc.

Karl Rove's job is to destroy our plurality. The big stuff is to make the American government so poor and unable to function that Americans turn to mommy corporation for all power and help.

IMHO

7. This attempt has backfired
Even with the MSM telling us day and night that the country is "divided", 80%+ of the people say leave the tube out, and they aren't changing their minds.

That's not division, that's an irrefutable, and unusual, agreement within the nation on a "controversial" issue.

They lost.

8. A little Cuban boy who came ashore ...
on a raft carried by dolphins and found by a fisherman. Oh, damn, that one's been taken already.
