#16TrillionFail trending topic, purchased by Americans for Prosperity biting them in the behind

Mashable US & World ?@mashusworld
The #16TrillionFail trending topic, purchased by Americans for Prosperity, kind of biting them in the behind. #dnc2012

Rafalca Romney ?@RafalcaRomney
Who should pay for our oil wars, corporate welfare and dressage horse tax deductions? The middle class, of course. #GOP #16TrillionFail

Kristina Fleischer ?@milque
$360,000+ paid by @MittRomney to Twitter for 3 days of 3 failed promoted trends? That's what I call sensible spending! #16TrillionFail

Pedro da Costa ?@pdacosta
#16TrillionFail is the third 'promoted' Republican hashtag in two days to turn into a liberal hippie tweetfest. Gnarley dude.

LOLGOP ?@LOLGOP
#16TrillionFail Is that how much the Kochs are paying for this BS?

Go enjoy!
