The Wall Street Deciders have already decided that Obama will be re-elected
October 9, 2011 in 2012 Elections, Rick Perry, Wall Street
A back-hand compliment from the HuffPost for Perry
Perry is regaining his footing in spite of a concerted effort led by mainstream pundits representing the Wall Street Deciders to oust him. The Huff Post reported that it was a good day in Spencer Iowa yesterday for Rick Perry and they added that he will need a lot more like it to climb his way back to the top slot among the GOP presidential candidates.

IfLizWereQueen Theory Regarding the 2012 Election: The Deciders have already decided that Obama will be re-elected.
And that is why pundits from Mainstream Media are Pushing Romney — a sure fire loser
I know, it’s a good sideshow and one could almost believe that the leaders on the right want Obama out, but they don’t. Why should they? With Obama they can continue their good cop/bad cop sideshow and maintain the status quo for the rich for another four years without having to take any responsibility for it. After all look what Obama and the Democrats have already done for the conservatives: they passed a healthcare bill that will enrich the wealthy stockholders of healthcare insurance corporations; approved of continuation of the Bush tax cuts; made sure that the war business continues for Wall Street war mongers like Northrop Grumman; took Jeffrey Immelt as a financial advisor–the CEO of GE, a corporation that has paid no income tax for the past two years; voted to defund ACORN, an organization who represented the poor voters, based on the flimsy testimony of one known conservative operative–and all this with a Democratic majority in BOTH houses.
Why the hell does anyone in their right mind think that the Republicans would want Obama to leave? If they elect a Republican President, then they will have to take responsibility for their behavior. Keeping Obama in office means that they can continue to blame the Democrats.
Do the Democratic leadership and members of Congress mind? Hell no. These people are going to continue to amass their wealth regardless which party is in power.

And Why is Romney a Loser?
1) Romney is a Mormon and therefore most evangelicals will not vote for him. (14% of the electorate are identified as the “Christian Right” at least 31 million. In 2000, 79% of them voted for Bush.)
Perry has all the leadership of this group behind him. Perry got their blessing with the big prayer meeting
even before he announced his candidacy. The media predicted that no more than 8,000 would show up. 33,000 showed up. I was there and fully 1/3 of these people were Latinos. The event was live streamed to 1000 churches all over the USA–many of which are those large mega churches. AND it was live streamed to 100,000 people on the Internet.
2) Romney’s remarks regarding immigration have alienated the Latinos (21.3 million eligible voters) Romney’s incessant attacks on Perry over immigration (he tied Perry to Vicente Fox last week)–all he is doing is indirectly telling the Latino community that he does not support them. The Latino majority would never support Romney. And Obama’s record is no better.
In May 2009 the people of Brownsville wrote a letter with a petition signed by hundreds of their citizens asking President Obama to stop the building of the wall at their Texas Mexican border. Obama did not even bother to answer their letter. That story appeared in a 2009 issue of the Texas Observer. There is no immigration bill on the horizon as Obama promised and instead, a record number illegal immigrants have been deported by the Obama administration. Perry has spoken out publicly against the wall. He has stood up for the Hispanic community and dared to call other Republicans heartless. He also saw to it that a Texas version of the Dream Act was passed.
3) Rural America won’t vote for Romney. 59,274,456 people live in rural areas in the USA. 20.781% of the total population and this is a vote that is essential for Republicans. In 2010, 39 rural Democrat districts turned Republican. The Republicans won the House in 2010 with rural votes. Obama mocks the rural people of America and refers to them as the ones who “cling to their guns and Bibles.” Romney would be seen by most of them as another rich Wall Street politician and many rural people are evangelicals who would not vote for a Mormon. Perry, however, who was born and raised in the small farming community of Paint Creek Texas, is a native son for almost all of rural America except the black people living in rural areas.

So why would the Republican leadership push Romney?
Only if they had decided that their winning strategy for 2012 is a losing strategy.

But there is a fly in the ointment at the present that they are working overtime to remove: The Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread to over 1000 cities in the USA
The strategy and tactics that mainstream media have followed thus far is 1) black out all reporting and ignore the protests –a tactic that most of them followed for the first two weeks 2) Now that it is obvious that the people are not going away, present “reports” with selected photos that only show protesters in a unfavorable light such as goofy hippie types with no credibility and 3) Infiltrate the protests and incite violence to discredit the movement as the peaceful movement that it is.
Will the deciders win? I don’t know. It’s too early to tell, but it’s obvious that they made a serious tactical error by ignoring the Occupy Wall Street Protest for so long. The Internet media and the foreign media have been reporting the truth on the event from Day one, September 17, 2011.
If the majority can stay united and keep all personalities out of the event, we can at the least take over the House of Representatives in 2012. And it is not that far-fetched that we might be able to replace Obama with a third party candidate.
