Marketing - Ah, marketing, the dreary, soul-killing art of lying to your customers. Anyway, the slogan for the GOP's 2012 Goat Rodeo Convention is... (wait for it).... WE BUILT THIS. Boy, that will have the Dims cowering in their lattes! Interesting choice considering ever fact check organization has said that this claim from Obama is on a pants-on-fire lie, but that's the GOP, and that's The Willard Mechanism for you. Also/too: The Tampa Bay Times Forum arena was built in 1996 as the 'Ice Palace' with 62% government funds. D'Oh!

1. I just LOVE the "WE DIDN'T NEED GOVERNMNET HELP" theme for their POLITICAL RALLY.

Man those idiots are stupid.

4. We Built This???

They are marketing their platform with the slogan We Built This?

That should go over well with the working class during an ongoing global economic crisis.

Any worker that votes for these smug wealthy overlords is a fool

6. Shouldn't it be "I built this"?

Saying that "we" built it seems to acknowledge that it was a collective effort, which is what Obama was saying.
