Reality Check for Democrats: Republicans Sell Lies Better Than You Tell the Truth

Sure, I’ve heard them say a lot of trigger words like “economy,” “jobs,” “border security” and “terrorism” – but I don’t recall many of them actually laying out their plan for any of it.

Let’s take a look at the “values” Republicans represent. They:
•Want a ban on same-sex marriage.
•Want to ban all abortions (many are even against abortions for rape victims).
•Are against the minimum wage.
•Are anti-immigration reform.
•Are against laws to protect equal pay for women.
•Want religion interjected into every facet of our lives.
•Want to gut (and eventually get rid of) Social Security and Medicare.
•Don’t believe in climate change. Heck, many of them don’t even believe in science period.
•Oppose sensible gun regulations.
•Support the right for businesses to discriminate against homosexuals.

Yes, they just gained more power in Congress – because the GOP sells lies better than Democrats tell the truth.

Yesterday I wrote an article where I blasted the cowardice of the Democratic Party this election. While Republicans ran on lies, Democrats ran from the truth.
