Democrats Are The Empire

I poked a little fun at this quote from Obama in a previous post:

"They're fighting back. The empire is striking back. To win this election, they are plowing tens of millions of dollars into front groups. They are running misleading negative ads all across the country."

But upon re-reading it, I found something quite disturbing. You automatically assume that Obama is talking about Republicans or conservatives. But now read it with the word "Democrats" in the place of "they." It rings much more true, and he might as well be broadcasting the Democrats' standard playbook. The Empire is the Democrats.`
