Collusion or Coincidence?    Democratic Destruction From the Inside Out

submitted by Silent Insider

I am asking you to step back from what ever candidate you support. I am asking you to look at things from a different perspective, one from the inside. At the base of this article you will find several foot link attachments. Read and ponder them objectively and consider things as if you were an inside Washington power broker. See how you put the puzzle pieces together. Politics is and always has been Power, never never forget that.

Harry Reid (D-Nv) is one of only 2 people currently on the FEC (Federal Election Commission) board. The other person is Mitch McConnell R-Ky. The FEC can not currently initiate any investigations or resolve any current issues nor can it issue any binding rulings or institute any penalties. Basically because of these two men the FEC is dead in the water, leaving every campaign and every candidate to do as they please with only the possibility of later investigation and/or later uncovering of possible misconduct. This current stalemate between Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell may look, on the surface, like simple partisan politics, but from the inside its a much different view. Both Senator's stand to benefit greatly at the expense of the people they should be serving. Mitch McConnell has is very own personal reasons to stop the FEC from gaining any power by working with Harry Reid to fill the empty seats so that a quorum may be reached, they are his own personal reason's and party benefit comes second. Harry Reid has his own agenda, one which is much loftier and much less personal, its a use of his political power his control to potentially effect an outcome. It is the power to keep someone appearing clean and untainted by dirty politics by pushing the bounds politics.

*Remember- Harry Reid is one of only 2 people preventing the FEC from investigating, ruling or have any substantive value what so ever. One issue this leaves in question... Is one this website and others have inquired about, it is the amounts that Senator Obama has donated or had donated in his name via his campaign or his bundler's to several Super Delegates, although complaints have been filed, no action can yet take place, no investigation can yet take place. Curious don't you think?

Now to Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) do not make a mistake when Nancy Pelosi is considered she is powerful and she likes it that way and she has every intention of gaining more power and influence than she already wields. Publicly she strives to present herself to be left leaning centrist in reality she is an extremely left leaning power happy totalitarian, when cameras are not ruling. Privately she views her opinions as superior to anyone else's, especially common voters, some are speculating she could be seeking or has already obtained a promise of a potential vp nomination.

*Remember-Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid work beautifully together they share the same agenda and support privately and in some mild instances publicly the same presidential candidate, take a past look at some of Nancy Pelosi's recent media statements; as well as Harry Reid's. Harry Reid "Things are being done" and Nancy Pelosi "It's too inside baseball for people to care."

Howard Dean Chairman of the DNC, Howard is another power seeker he has worked very hard in the background to place people who are loyal to him in special positions and to strengthen his grip on political power. Yes it is said, quietly in some Washington circles, these new DNC rules, which are quite undemocratic, at the time this did not go unnoticed, were strong armed through the process by Howard Dean Not so quietly it is said he has been and currently is strong arming super delegates as well as encouraging other to do so, in the direction he indicates, phraseology is everything. Howard Dean has spent years recrafting the DNC. In hindsight many now regret their inability to foresee events that were to come, when Dean's own failed presidential bid led him to take the Chairmanship of the DNC. He very wisely saw the power base he could create and wasted no time in doing so.

*Remember, Howard Dean gave the great state of New Hampshire a "special dispensation" for breaking the same rule he deemed Florida and Michigan so guilty they did not deserve to have their votes counted. Some of us did not find this rule or these actions to be in keeping with the role of the Democratic Party, as I have said these rules were shoved down our throats by the elite power base within the DNC. It is also a little known fact that Gov. Dean did give private reassurances to DNC representatives that the votes would be counted, quite probably in an attempt to play the representatives of Florida and Michigan along for as long as possible. In a, run out the clock, hope which apparently has been very successful.

Now you have met what many Washington insiders very quietly call The "PC or Pelosi Coalition". This group knows more than a few things and they depend on the common people not knowing these same things or at the very least not putting the puzzle pieces together.

1. With the second to the lowest ranked Jr. Senator who had served as a United States Senator for approximately 1 month prior to quietly beginning his presidential bid, this persons power brokers will expect a lot more power in the future should their candidate win the office. By contrast one of the Democractic nominee's is sure to be a strong individual to deal with and that is not a prospect any of them like or want, a strong force with a deeply desired goal can be like getting in the way of a freight train.

2. Ask yourself. How did brand new still wet behind the ears, hasn't found the bathroom yet, Senator Barack Obama gain such a highly coveted appointment as the chairmanship of a subcommittee on one of Joe Biden's foreign relations subcommittee's? He needed his resume bulked up before running. Yes Joe Biden is very influenceable by power happy Pelosi, although Biden has a power base himself, she has a much bigger stick and they both know she will use it. So, Pelosi gets Biden to give Obama an empty appointment where he holds no hearings and makes no progress, but that was ok it was only a resume builder a figurehead appointment.

3. Now try asking yourself. How many of these people who so ardenatantly attempt to appear neutral in public are strong arming Super Delegates in private in one direction with carefully chosen words and threats. The threats are couched in could be's and what if's, remember politics is power, if you are on the winning team there can be great things that come your way and if your on the loosing team it can be personally and professionally disastrous.

4. Each of these people in what we will call The PC , has made traceable efforts to circumvent the system. One person has alienated two entire states of voters, he has refused to communicate or even truly attempt to solve the issue of Florida and Michigan. One has helped a Republican stop all actions by the Federal Election commission. One has worked behind the scenes and recently more publicly to prop up one candidate over another.

My fellow Democrats, look deeper into these issues. Stop a small group from taking over our Democratic party, at this point only voters can stop this from happening.  Many true Democrats have worked hard to try to prevent a take over of the party, but they have been, to date, unsuccessful.

This group of people, Unheard American Voices and many other groups and individuals, have been working to show Democrats what they can expect from Republicans should one candidate win the nomination, although these groups and individuals are doing an amazing job the Republicans have plans that will make the videos these groups and these individuals make and post on sites like youtube look like Disney compared to what the Republicans will bring out in the general election. Who could blame them? We are not talking about president of a home owners association we are talking about president of the United States, that is a lot of power. Politics is power. Is this collusion or is this coincidence?
