If political conventions are ranked on a one to ten scale for
intelligence, I give the Republican Convention zero and the Democrats
one.
How can the United States be a superpower when both political parties
are unaware of everything that is happening at home and abroad?
The Republicans are relying for victory on four years of anti-Obama
propaganda and their propriety programed electronic voting machines. For
nearly four years Republican operatives have flooded the Internet with
portraits of Obama as a non-US citizen, as a Muslim (even while Obama
was murdering Muslims in seven countries), and as a Marxist (put in
power by the Israel Lobby, Wall Street, and the military/security
complex).
Most Republican voters will vote against Obama based on these charges
despite the curious fact that no committee in the Republican-controlled
House of Representatives held a hearing to determine if Obama is a
citizen. If Obama were not a citizen, why would the very aggressive
House Republicans not capitalize on it. It would be easy for a
Congressional committee to determine if Obama were a citizen. Despite
the propaganda, the Republicans in office have shown no interest in the
propaganda charges spread by Republican operatives over the Internet.
Either Republicans have no confidence in the charges and do not want
to end up proving with Congressional hearings that Obama is a citizen,
or the Republicans, having destroyed every other aspect of the US
Constitution, reducing it to “a scrap of paper,” feel that making an
issue of the last remaining Constitutional provision other than the
Second Amendment would be the height of hypocrisy and don’t want to risk
opening the constitutional issues that Republicans have run roughshod
over.
