More Money Maunderings
An exceptionally interesting idea just popped into my mind as I was on the way to the bank to withdraw some of my own personal many millions: The reason the Obama campaign opted out of public financing is not because they expected to raise such huge sums, but because, not being tied to public funding, they would be in total control of whatever was raised.
If they accept public funding, after the convention they only control 84.1 million dollars. If they don't have that limit, they can request that all funds that would otherwise be contributed to Democrat groups in support of the candidate instead be contributed to the campaign directly. McCain's group, all sources combined, expects to raise and spend about 400 million between now and the election. McCain will only control the 84.1. Suppose Obama does only as well. His campaign would control all 400 million, that's 315.9 million more of control than McCain will have directly over his own campaign.
Here's why it's important: Obama has no accomplishments and no capacities. If groups other than his own put out ads, even though favorable to him, they won't be quite what his own organization would have put out. This means that there will be dissonance. Dissonance does not lull one to sleep, the mind still functions. Obama's campaign is purely one of mesmerization, no intellectually functioning human could think he's suitable to be president. That's why they need complete control. If the pro Obama arguments ever start to vary, the spell is broken, and the mind is free to think. Whether it will think or not is open, but at least then thought will be possible.
This is a good idea. I remember how when I was a kid I used to hypnotize chickens in my Grandparent's farm yard. You hold them firmly, lay them on their side with their necks stretched out a bit, and then slowly draw a line in the dust in front of their beaks. Withdraw, and they just continue to lay there. Just why that happens I don't know, but it does, and it's just amazing to see a perfectly healthy chicken just lying there flat on its side, paralyzed from movement.
I used to see how many I could get down at once. Sometimes I could get down a dozen, but there was always one problem: if there was any kind of wind at all, at some point a light leaf would be blown in front of the chicken's line of sight. And the spell would be broken. Up would get the chicken, slightly shaking its head before getting it's bearings back and suddenly scuttling off. Then they would all get up, all the chickens. All my work ruined by just that one little light flying leaf.
So too the Obamians. It's true that many are not quite so bright as a chicken, but many are. If the spell is broken, a lot of them are going to cease lying there with their necks stretched out. A lot of them will get up, shake their heads, and go do something else.
The Obama camp has to control the message. Anything off message, and the regular pendular swing of the golden coin is broken, the spell is broken, and the chump just stands there with his grin.
I do expect this will happen, and when it does it will happen like the snap of a finger.
