Papantonio: GOP Suffers From Bush Amnesia

Republicans have found a new rallying cry for their base – They’re getting their followers to be angry about the fact that Obama, in their eyes, is an imperial president. They’ve completely forgotten about Bush’s imperial ways. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and attorney Howard Nations remind us how we got here.

bills for patients being hospitalized with Swine Flu for several months because the Republican TX Legislature and Governor Rick Perry did not accept the Medicaid Exchange or set up the Marketplace in Texas for ACA.

And Democrats should be talking about how those already insured by an employer are not effected by ACA for others. Actually people should be reminded that ACA made it possible for them to receive a refund for being over charged on their insurance premiums for the last two years.

GOP messaging is superior - IMO it's because their target audience wants to be told what to think for the most part, far simpler than 'thinkin' - and the target demographic is bigoted and easily associates with fear-mongering.

of their base doesn't even know what the word "imperial" means, anyway.
