The Rs vote against or block any jobs bill brought up in the Senate or House (especially if it's something proposed by Obama) and then get on TV and declare Obama a failure for "failing to create jobs" or asking, "Where are the jobs?" And to top it all off, they do all they can to HURT the poor, to defund laws already on the books, and to block Obama's nominations while also passing laws in the states to close Planned Parenthood centers, to disenfranchise Democratic voters, and to hurt the vast majority of Americans as much as possible.
THEN they get re-elected thanks to redistricting, gerrymandering, and the Supreme Court's ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, and they blame OBAMA for being the "most divisive president in history." It's quite a racket they got going.

OUR side could use some clever (but TRUE, unlike Lunz's) messaging.

(3,190 posts)I truly feel that the oligarchs, PTB, the wealthy elite, or whatever you want to call them, uses the rethugs as the "spearhead" to push the agenda as far right as possible, while the Dems (which are in a large part also in their pockets) are the kinder, gentler part of the scheme. Either way, it's a win-win for them. Any elected official, activist or grassroots movement that defies their agenda is delt with appropriately.
Meanwhile the people remain divided in their red and blue camps at each other's throats, just as The PTB wants it.
