2. And the Rethugs had Corporate America

run all the ads they could with out any tag lines to their party. Citizens United really hurt along with this asshole messaging and optics of running away from Mr. Obama. On Inauguration Day in 2013,was watching some of the commentary,the so called pundits were already testing various themes and memes. Sad to say,if you don't have listening skills and know how to apply them,you would have missed it. This has bugged the hell out of me since,know one from the Liberal Progressive ranks called these assaholes out. When Frank Luntz signed consultative contracts with all the so called MSM,I knew a shit storm was coming. Luntz and Rove are great at using focus groups to test themes. Got to hand it to the Rethugs,they used simple guilt by association optics and messaging right out of the Natzi Play book in the 1930's,and got away with it. What happened to all of my Union Brothers and Sisters,not one phone call about phone banking shoe leather lit drops. I know there is a ton of anger at Obama for not supporting our organizational efforts,hey,we needed to see the big picture here. We lost races by not having our people banging the phones and door knobs. So the fix was in big time. Answer me this,when does the next Recession begin,March April or October. You know damn well the Rethugs are going to bury us so f--n deep that its going to take more than the typical ten years to pull out of it. Looking for a Hover Style collapse,all the new players are in place as of January 2015. Read your history on your I phone or if you actually can find a History book,please read it.
