ROMNEY Donor: The "Common" People Just "Don’t understand what’s going on."

[CoffeeCat]

45. What's laughable and sad....

...is that the tea party folks ARE commoners. In the eyes of the Koch Brothers, right-wing radio blowhards and also Mitt Romney--the tea-party folk are just ignorant fools who will unwittingly carry the talking points for the rich.

I think the biggest bamboozle ever--is how the top one percent has convinced middle and lower-class folk to be happy mouthpieces for legislation, deregulation and policies that benefit only the uber rich.

It's simply mind blowing. And if you try to talk some sense into these tea party people (and believe me, I have tried) they
will rip you a new one for even suggesting that billionaires and millionaires need to pay their fair share.

I once had a debate--that turned into a screaming match--with a tea partier. Two weeks after the housing market imploded, he insisted that this economic disaster happened because the banking industry was too regulated. Those talking points didn't come from his own brain. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity injected them into his oh-so-open mind. How can these tea partiers not see that they are being played, and used?

When the truth about what is really happening in our country emerges--it will be these tea partiers who will be out in the streets protesting like rabid weasels. We "get" what is happening. They're so blinded by Glenn Beck that they can't even see what's happening. When they figure out that they've been pawns in the destruction of our democracy--their heads will explode. It's not going to be pretty.

YAY! Let's further deregulate the banks!! Because this crazy, deregulated environment that allows credit-default swaps, mortgaged backed securities that are worthless junk and billion-dollar bailouts is just tooooo darn stifling for these banks!! We need more of this...riiiiiiiight.
