GOP War On Everything

What is going on with the GOP is more than just its war on woman. If you look at all the proposals they are making in total from the national level down to the local level it is a WAR ON EVERYTHING.

Something vicious and mean comes up every day somewhere in the country.

After looking at Ryan's "new" plan today they concluded that the GOP is giving the White House to Obama. To quote: "now they want to piss off the old voters too? After pissing off the women and the latinos?" So I said: "Its as if they're trying to get fired."

2. The Consequences of SuperPacs

I don't think it's accidental that the crazies came out about the same time the Super-Pacs did. The candidates are now spouting off what their patron billionaires want them to spout off, which says something about both candidates and billionaires. No doubt the thinking is that with enough money, they can buy the election buy putting this BS on the airwaves twenty-four seven and hoping the "Dancing with the Stars" crowd will hypnotically go to the polls and push the right buttons (or that they have enough control over the election machines that it doesn't matter).

The SP billionaires don't need to win the election. They just need to get enough people to the polls that when the election results indicate that candidate X wins they'll have enough voters gone to the polls that it is at least remotely plausible that they did.
