The leadership is not afraid
yes they are
why do you think we keep seeing internet regulation bills come up in congress?
tea party candidates are winning elections, pushing other republican and democrat candidates out... and their buddies are afraid it will happen to them
why do you think even some democrat candidates are turning their backs on obamacare or quitting altogether?
why do you think during the 2012 republican primary there were entire electorates excluded from the vote because they were full of ron paul supporters?
why do you think Fox and CNN repeatedly launch personal attacks on tea party and libertarian supporters and candidates because they're afraid of giving their political views any more publicity than they are already garnering on the internet?
why do you think bitcoin has gained traction?
tea party and libertarian supporters already know that CNN, Fox, etc are full of shit, and they are opening the eyes of many of their colleagues, friends and family at a rate that is alarming the establishment. obama is just a puppet... tea party followers direct their anger towards him, but only as a representative of a much bigger problem... and that is big government and the military industrial complex and banking cartel that it supports.
the establishment was fearful of ron paul and his supporters, and that fear of ron paul's legacy is obvious today
the leadership/establishment isn't afraid because of their positions today (yes they are raking in dollars) but they are scared to death of how quickly their power may be snatched from them
america is slowly but surely turning to shit, but many see this as the beginning of something better... not something to be afraid of.
the tyranny of big government is much worse than some uncertain tomorrow.
