They had just gotten caught lying us into a war and crashed the economy with their deregulation frenzy.

They had only ONE thing left in their trick bag. Their undeserved reputation as cheapskates.

All they did was talk about the National Debt and the Deficit and pointed at Obama and claimed the "Black Guy" (not the term they used) increased WELFARE for other "black people" (not the term they used) and THAT is what crashed the economy.

They then ran a guy against him who was anti-welfare figuring that their prior lie was accepted.

They then looked at the polls telling them the #1 thing the American People WANT is "JOBS" so they claim EVERYTHING Obama does "kills jobs" and everything they do "creates jobs". It's all MARKETING to these ASSHOLES. If the #1 thing America wanted was a pony they would claim the Affordable Care Act kills ponies.

We need to stop playing their game by their rules because it doesn't MATTER if we "Win", they will claim we lost.

We need to put THEM on the spot and FORCE them to loudly and publicly refuse to support a full employment plan.
