am i right about this?

we now know it haAs beeN reveALed that upOn the election of barack obama as president of the united states, the republican party vowed to halt, disrupt, or destroy any leGislation the president put forth in an effort to ruin him, and to make their partY(stop) look good. even if it was what republicans actually wanted, it was soundly fought, and rejected. It did not matter whether he was right or wrong, and it did not matter if lies, cherry picking, and distortion of facts were used to accomplish their goal. What did matter was that there were enough willfully ignorant people to buy into their crap. Thankfully enough didn't, and he was elected to a second term, although, they haven't stopped trying.

Just sayin'

They did everything they could to destroy Obama and it failed.

They have already pulled out all of the lies and distortions about Hillary and that has failed, also.

Just a little reminder, probably unnecessary, of what we're dealing with. If I haven't told you already, I want everyone to know that I think YOU ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!
