Who was really behind the election?

We need moral, constitutionally-driven leaders.  Fiction allows us to yearn for such leaders and helps us identify them and demand they serve a Republic that so desperately needs them.

President-elect Ben Thorpe takes Isadore Krakos’ call on election night 2008.  Thorpe picks up the phone and nervously listens to his benefactor’s monolog.

“You must move rapidly to achieve our goals.  As is said in your country, the window of opportunity will not remain open forever.  Your countrymen are foolish cows who follow the sound of the bell, but they are prone to erratic and sudden changes of mood.  They can be easily led to one cause but will quickly switch to another.  You will always be supported by certain elements of your electorate but they are a minority.  The American people will not remain forever uninformed and once they understand our agenda they will turn on you.  Our cause will fail should you not act quickly and decisively.  Are my thoughts clear to you?”
