Lies, Liars, and Propaganda

It's been clear to anyone who has a brain (and doesn't soften it by watching Fox Snooze) that President Obama has been under a constant and concerted attack from "the Party of No".

It's amazing that the GOP, the party that brought us the financial NIGHTMARE we are currently trying to pull ourselves out of, would be fighting so hard AGAINST what SHOULD be good for the country. It's amazing until you look deeper:

- What do Republicans have to lose if the President succeeds?

POWER - They will have been proven to be a powerless, ineffective, and greedy collection of rich folks who are basically looking out for themselves, instead of the nation in general. And, by the way, when they lose POWER, they lose the ability to ENRICH THEMSELVES at the public's expense.

- Why the constant verbal attacks?

They sincerely believe that this is the best way to influence enough voters to question the President's policies, so that the GOP has even HALF a chance of winning ANY seat in Congress (certainly NOT the Presidency). Goodness knows, they SO have great message discipline - even if it means republican talking heads whose untruthful words grate like fingernails on the political chalkboard.

- Are they correct?

Of course not - but that doesn't get in the way of this constant verbal harrassment serving their purposes.
