    Republican Campaign Strategy - Division and Distraction
    .
    .
    The Republic Party has only one agenda during this political campaign , and that’s to keep the American people distracted from clearly looking at the facts. But the bottom line is this:
    .
    1). The GOP was such an unmitigated disaster for eight years under George W. Bush that they’ve had to keep him in hiding.
    .
    2). We haven't had but one successful Republican president in nearly 100 years. That was Ike Eisenhower nearly 60 years ago, and as his very last act of office he warned America to beware of his very own Republican Party - or the Military/Industrial Complex.
    .
    3). Under the Bush administration the nation was hemorrhaging 800,000 jobs A MONTH. Under Obama the nation has now gained over 5 million jobs - and that's with the Republican Party fighting him tooth-n-nail.
    .
    4). Ronald Reagan, the hero of the Republican Party, and the one who first floated the economic plan that Republicans are pursuing, tripled the national debt. Ronald Reagan was the most prolific spender of all of the presidents before him - COMBINED.
    .
    5). One of the reasons that we're in this economic mess is because the GOP used the "search" for Osama Bin Laden as a pretext to soak our national treasury and attack the middle class safety net, which they've been after for over 70 years. Then Obama came into office and got Bin Laden with a handful of men and two helicopters.
    .
    SO AMERICA, DON’T ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE DISTRACTED FROM THE FACTS. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DEDICATED TO LOWERING THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS IN ORDER TO HELP BIG BUSINESS TO COMPETE WITH THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES - PERIOD.
    .
    IF YOU LOOK BENEATH EVERY ONE OF THEIR POLICIES YOU'LL FIND THAT THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON - THEY PROMOTE THAT AGENDA:
    .
    * Citizens-United allows big business to control our political system.
    .
    * Their attack on teachers and our educational system chips away at the middle class and makes us more manageable. They want to keep us uninformed about the kind of things that I'm telling you right now.
    .
    * Their attack on labor unions takes away the voice of middle class workers.
    .

    * Their attack on science, safety, and environmental regulations protect the profits of big business - never mind what it does to the environment or our health.

    .

    * And their constant effort to promote division prevents the people from coming together to fight back.

    These are the tactics employed by third world countries against their people, and it has now become the new business strategy supported, and promoted, by the Republican Party - WORKERS BE DAMNED!

    .
    .
    THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS WRITTEN OFF 47% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS DEADBEATS.
    *
    THINK ABOUT THAT!

    How is one individual teacher to get her message out there compared to a Christian textbook publisher with a ten million dollar contract?

    How is an individual worker in an automobile plant to get his message out there compared to some great energy company?

    Kill the unions, kill the employees' voices.

    Broadcast lies about voting rights and kill the voters' voices.

    The repubs are all practiced admen for chrissakes.

    Propaganda rules and frankly, I am proud as to how the dems have held up all these decades but especially following that Supreme Court decision.

    And I know that the dems are holding up because of the cries heard from the other side every single hour of every single day.

    If the game was over, the repubs would be bragging more than bitching!

    That is one reason for me signing all these petitions.

    How else might my voice be heard?

    Oh just as an aside, did you hear our Prez diagnose Mitt with Romnesia? ha
