"SNIP......

The House Republican conference rolled out their platform for the 2022 midterm elections with words attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but the Daily Beast reports the quote is actually from a Lehman Brothers ad from the 1980s.

......SNIP"

Here is the quote: “Commitment,” reads the quote, “is what transforms a promise into reality.”

“A spokesperson for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to why GOP leaders rolled out their plan for America with a video featuring stock footage from Russia.”

NEW: House Republicans just rolled out their official "Commitment to America” plan for 2023 with an inspirational video chock full of scenes presented as exceptional imagery of America -- but that are actually stock footage from Russia and Ukraine. https://huffpost.com/entry/house-republicans-commitment-to-america-stock-footage-russia-ukraine_n_632dc7afe4b0d12b5404bab1?hgm…

5. Simple: Their plan is Putin's plan -- they want the U.S. to be just like Russia under Poot.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:

6. Absolutely incredible

Either their PR/media teams are just idiots stealing crap from stock sources online and slapping it together, or...one might begin to think these GOPers have deep seated connections to Russia!?! (Crazy in know)

4. It says everything about today's Republican Party.

Lehman Brothers was far more influential on this Party in 2022 than Abraham Lincoln is. Or maybe they are all home schooled and use quotes given to them by ALEC without bothering to check.

They sure are committed on delivering their promises into reality and that will destroy our Democracy.

7. Lehman Bros., as corrupt as the GOP

"Lehman's ultimate end came as a result of being utterly overwhelmed by mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that were mostly backed with subprime loans, many of which went into default."
