The truth is, the Republicans' toolbox NEVER changes.

I mean, at its most basic, "Dudes on 'ludes should not drive." We tried the Reagan way and wound up with a giant debt, a Savings and Loan crisis, and a nasty recession. We tried the Bush the Lesser way and wound up with the biggest goddamned disaster since James Buchanan was president, and the worst economy since Herbert Hoover. We got an even bigger recession, an even bigger banking crisis, and much more debt.

The truth is, the Republicans' toolbox never changes. It comes down to, leave greed alone to do its magic, less government revenue equals less government debt, and a whole bunch of lies and divisive language to confuse everyone.

Mitt Romney's out there saying that he has a pro-business plan that will cause full employment, like we have no memory banks and it's some kind of guarantee.

Businessman Romney: It says one hundred percent guaranteed, you moron!
Barack Obama: Mister, if you don't shut up I'm gonna kick one hundred percent of your ass!


That's how this needs to go down.
