Republican Candidates Rehash Same Old B.S. Ideas

When it comes to economics, the GOP has turned to their outdated predecessors to help craft their messages. Here’s 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.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

of too many Americans, especially the typical low information voter - who is most likely to vote Republican. They have perfected this into a fine art. But who knows? 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!

It isn't in my book, and I'm basically cool with religion - but not the kind that asks you to leave your brains at the church door. 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?
