Wow. The GOP response is essentially ...

"Republicans have better plans than Obama."

That's it.
No details. No explanation.
Nothing about where their plans differ from the President's.
Nada.

"We have better plans."
period.

I doubt that would convince me to support the GOP but hell, I'm not a Republican.

Because they have such a shitty platform and shitty elected officials nationwide, all they can do is go on attack against him, as usual. Nothing new here.

they always found ways to wrap their terrible policies in fancy word wrapping paper and sell it to Average Joe and Jane Sixpack. The one thing they were always strong on for years and years...was marketing their plans

They've lost it totally!

Their decisions are all made with their two main emotions - hate and fear.
