4. And how the heck do we call him out on his lies publicly?

Yes, the entire country needs to hear about this lie that he's spewing, just like each and every other lie and half-truth and misrepresentation that the repubs. tell, and GET AWAY WITH ON A DAILY BASIS! But very few will hear about it. Republicans win elections because they tell these lies and they are continuously repeated on the media, rarely called out for what they are. Unfortunately, sometimes our only response is to sit around and congratulate ourselves on calling them out to other DU readers, those that already agree with us.

What to do, what to do??? K+R, K+R, K+R to everyone you know??? Does that really help? How about full page ads in major newspapers? Or maybe sky writing it above every major city in the US?? I think putting Senator Warren in charge of messaging is a great idea. I'm thinking that she has some great ideas on better ways to present a consistent, truthful message to swing voters and America in general.

Whew! I feel better now. Thanks for listening to my rant......!
