I've noticed something new(?) today. The repugnant camp is now claiming |
|
that they are "running as reformers", according to msnbc and cnn. Since when are they reformers? Yesterday?

7. They're reforming the same things they're always reforming. |
|
The New Deal & the policies of FDR.
And by "reform" they mean "destroy".

The Republican Party--or should I say TODAY'S Republican Party--only began at this year's convention. It is no longer the party of Abraham Lincoln, that was the old Republican Party, which they want us to assume is also the party of Bush and Cheney and all of their abuses.
Yes, it's all BULLSHIT.

10. It's a childish strategy |
|
This is sort of like when one kid constantly repeats what another kid says. It's the way the dumb kid tries to make the other kid look dumb as well.

12. Reformed in the same sense as your alcoholic, wife beating , gambling addict brother-in-law. |
|
And you know how that usually works out.

17. First, understand your Achilles heel, then counter the weakness with LIES. |

The GOP formula: Pick every issue you know you could lose the election on, then create a propaganda blizzard that portrays the most effective immunization on the issue.
The GOP is just an immense Corrupt Bastards Club = "We are the reformers"
The GOP lied us into a war = "We are winning the war" and "We are the reformers"
The GOP destroyed the economy = "The tax cuts will work" and "We are the reformers"
The GOP criminals have corrupted the Department of Justice = "Gonzo is gone" and "We are the reformers"
The price of gas rose from $1.42 to $4.42. "We gave you a couple hundred bucks, so STFU" and "We are the reformers"
