The Repubs. have quite a racket going on...
They vote against any and all bills that would create jobs and give tax cuts to small businesses, and then tell voters that Dems. failed to create jobs or give tax cuts to small businesses.

They have no shame, especially when they top it off by saying they look forward to working with Dems. to make these things happen in the new congress. And people, mostly "low-information voters," are falling for it. :eyes:

4. What REALLY bugs me is when Boehner asks, in his flannel shirt,
"Where are the jobs?" I wish the Dems. would point out that the Repubs. BLOCKED any attempt to get more jobs going.

6. That's the problem. The Dems HAVE pointed it out, but
they don't get near the airplay on this issue the rethugs do.

So, they need to get really aggressive. I hope statewide ads are running with this, but they aren't here in GA. afaik.

7. Good point...
the Dems. should run ads with video of Boehner and other Repubs. saying "no" during votes for job/tax credit legislation, and then show Boehner asking "Where are the jobs?" And then have a voice say something like, "There's your answer. Boehner and his pals are keeping them from you for political reasons."

10. The Dems don't have TV and radio stations dedicated to full time propaganda peddling..
It's really discouraging how much of the airwaves is swamped by intense right wing lying.

And when we did get a progressive radio station they acted the same way but in the opposite direction. They were more interested in attacking the right than finding the truth.

Thank god for Keith, Rachel and the few now that find real issues to expose.

12. They are all hypocrites. All of them. The GOP in power, the tea baggers, the Gop base (the rich).
All full of shit.
