There's a saying that if a lie is told often enough, it becomes the "truth".
Two particularly nasty pieces of lies will doom the party of Republicans to minority status for generations.
1- The GOP lost Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008 because they spent too much money.
How quickly people forget the near zero unemployment and the overflowing coffers of local government in most of Bush's terms and the GOP majority. There were a number of reasons for the lost, but making deals to fund troops and to take off the political table the senior citizen issue and education was not it. Remember, conservatives and their focus on spending and tax cuts number are at most 35% of the voters, which is why "real" conservatives don't run their own party nor do they win elections.
2- "Having an 'R' in front of their name isn't important."
Ok, here's some basic reality. When it comes time for figuring out who gets to run committes or which bill gets heard, no one counts "real" conservatives or "real" liberals. All they count is the Rs and the Ds and if there are more Rs, YOU get to make the rules and YOU get to push your agenda.
Now here comes the hook...a food for thought to those who wanted Bush and every Republican in Congress to cater to THEIR concerns and TO represent THEIR viewpoint. You should be very proud of Obama and company...for they are doing exactly what you wanted from Republicans...they are catering to their base and pushing the Liberal agenda--instead of taking care of the rest of America.
