In a nutshell, appropriately enough

[supergee]

The entire Republican strategy has been to argue, usually implicitly but sometimes explicitly, that Americans elected Obama in an effort to prove that we’re hip enough to be down with a black President, but now that we’ve had our fun, it’s time to suck it up and return power to its rightful white owners

It's about concentrating all power in the hands of the super-rich. These people are going to be partying away while the United States collapses into a third world country over the next decade or so.

And if somehow Romney loses on November 6, they'll be back in two years with another crop of tea party assholes running for Congress, and Paul Ryan for president in 2016.

Too many Americans are hopelessly misled by Republican bullshit. I'm not optimistic at all.
