The GOP is hedging, they KNOW they will lose presidency but want to keep the house...

...so what better way to get people out to vote but bring up wedge issues and then play the protector.

This usually works because despite what Obama does the media will rarely challenge a GOPer on TV and the DNC has improved with their messaging but seems to still not get out in front of 90% of GOP lies and twist with consistent short quip take downs.


Your take?

Thx

why they pay lip service to the liberal base of the Democratic party but work to advance the Economic Royals.
Why else would we have BO and the Democratic leadership keep putting SS on the cutting block?
Why else would we have outsourcers in charge of labor policy?
Why else would we have a charter school advocate in charge of education?

Why else would BO keep saying Congress in the problem
not CONSERVATIVE obstructionists mainly in the GOP are the problem?

The reason that the GOP has not been relegated to the ash bin of history is that BO has sent
3 years adding legitimacy to their idiotic positions.
