Previously successful analysis predicts Romney win

[Zen Badger]

But how much can you really squeeze blood out of people before they eventually wise up as to who is squeezing them?

If you do it in the name of god you can do it for a loooong time.

Witness the catholic church.

To wit, a secular tyranny won't last long(e.g communism) because people recognise that they are being oppressed by other people.

But make them think you have a divine mandate to oppress them and they will sing your praises.

Religion is the best mind control there is, because people will impose it upon themselves with joy in their hearts.
