This story, from the Washington Post, unwittingly provides a perfect illustration of how the established political parties manipulate us to THEIR ends, rather than seek to lead us.
The Dems are fretting that white voters are leaving Obama in droves (gee, wonder why?). So, do the dems propose to change they way they lead the country to try and imporve their standing with white voters to try and bring them back into the fold?
Oh my heavens no........To avoid such losses, the Democratic National Committee has committed to spending tens of millions of dollars to re-create (or come somewhere near re-creating) the 2008 election model, in which Democrats relied heavily on higher-than-normal turnout from young people and strong support from African American and Hispanic voters.
The DNC's plan is ambitious, to say the least: In the space of a few months, the strategists hope to change the composition of a midterm electorate that, if history is any guide, tends to be older and whiter than in a presidential-election year. Put that way, it sounds crazy -- and it has drawn considerable skepticism from independent observers.
Translated: we are going to skew the electorate enough to squeek by. After they vote we don't care what all those folks go off and do. Just so they negate those pesky white folks on election day!
Makes you want to go work for the party!
