Republicans wheeling out the same stale stuff IRS thing, Benghazi, Obamacare etc.

The GOP is stuck for new things to hit Democrats with. It seems to wheel out the old - IRS, big government, VA (because it's government healthcare, Benghazi, war against teachers because it wants to privatize education and more.

Democrats need to hit the GOP with their scandals, cuts to the American people yet want to spend billions on war.

Democrats need to ridicule the Teaparty - describe them as fools, incompetent, enemies etc.

Look at Obama's approval ratings. Look at how many believe he covered up something about Benghazi. It is like people completely ignored what Obama and Susan Rice said. Susan Rice even said on the Sunday tv shows that they were still investigating the matter at the time. Why do people think that a video could not have been involved and it not be a terrorist attack at the same time. They do not have to be seperate. There were protests all over the Middle East. We have spent more time investigating talking points about Benghazi than the lead up to the Iraq War. It is insane. The media just goes along with it.

blame the Democrats for losing the war in Iraq. Maybe we need to call it the Republican War and remind people of the cost in lives and money and how conservatives lied us into it.
