I have never seen so many GOP talking points destroyed so quickly.

The Haves v. The Don't Have Yets
47% moochers
Job Creators
Obamacare will kill your mother
Gay marriage will cause America to die
Pot is the devil

If we can kill the "if you kid can read, thank a teacher. if your kid can't, thank a teacher's union" bullshit, we'll be really progressing.

I noticed this anti-teachers' union cartoon strip recently--

Chicago Tribune: Prickly City- "How Do We Know?"
Chicago Tribune: Prickly City- "Tenure"

Even the Kansas City Star runs this strip.

Nothing more than illustrated RW talking points.

No one's in charge of the GOP and it's only going to get worse.

Many if not most GOPers secretly harbor the same ideas, so to pretend as if these are somehow
not Republican ideas is dishonest at best. I say "at best", because their concealment of their real
feelings tells me that their racism is actually a core value of theirs, to be protected at all costs.
