Republican candidates held their first “Bash Obama Love Fest” during the CNN GOP Presidential Debate last night and it was no surprise. I knew things were going to go downhill from the time CNN commentators started bashing Obama BEFORE the debate even began.
It was hard to tell who stood out for what because they ALL said the same things sprinkled with quite a few WELL–SCRIPTED LIES about the President, the actual time frame and causes of our current economic challenges, mathematically illogical debt ceiling proposals, and the HIDDEN costs of their “Kill Medicare” Plan which the CONGRESSIONAL Budget Office and leading economists have indicated will put Medicare recipients AND our country into even greater debt.
The only candidates who were brave enough to show any PERIODIC BURSTS of individuality were Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. All of the rest of them stated how they loved each other to pieces and acted like they were running as ONE candidate. It was like watching a live remake of the Stepford Wives!
The most ridiculous part of the ‘Bash Obama Love Fest’ was that they ALL said that Obama hadn’t done anything, and then they ALL proceeded to state how they were going to “REPEAL” EVERYTHING that Obama had done! They didn’t have the common sense to realize that their “repeal” argument cancelled out their ‘Obama hasn’t done anything’ argument BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION!
They showed no compassion for OR interests in female rape victims, the working class, the poor, the unemployed and the elderly and, most glaringly, they made NO MENTION of non-corporate welfare measures they would take to create jobs at home! (I guess they didn’t want to ‘bite the hand that feeds them’ on that one.)
OMG!

| 4. The media can make a pile of horse shit look like diamonds |
|
don't forget who owns the media, who has damn near unlimited funds, who owns the voting machines and who has little compunction about telling the truth.
