When it comes to economics, the GOP has turned to their outdated predecessors to help craft their messages. Heres what is being talked about behind closed doors:
Republican candidates are being told by people like Stephen Moore from the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation that we need to raise taxes on the poor in order to lower the taxes on the top earners in this country. This is the same policy that happened under the Bush administration, and it helped lead us into an era of rampant income inequality.

Maybe the magic of the Republican snowjobbers is starting to wear thin, and will come up short from here on out. Let's hope that this kind of deception will NOT be enough to land the Republicans the White house in 2016!

Religion tempered with a little philosophy, logic and critical thinking. But I'm sure that many of you here would say that that's an oxymoron - or an oxymoran, as tea baggers woud have it. And by the way - is there any religion that elevates someone who's a mere saint to the status of God Almighty?
