The GOP's Network of Ruthless Deception

1) During the presidential campaign of 2008, Rupert Murdoch of News Corp / Fox News, had wanted Obama to kiss his ring, but Obama dragged his feet. Murdoch then assigned Rodger Ailes, the Fox News Chairman, the task of attacking Obama. When Obama finally met with Murdoch and Ailes, Obama said he didn’t want to waste his time talking to Ailes if Fox was just going to continue to abuse him and his wife, that Fox had relentlessly portrayed him as suspicious, foreign, fearsome -- just short of a terrorist. Ailes, unruffled, said it might not have been this way if Obama had more willingly come on the air instead of so often giving Fox the back of his hand. (More: WA Post)
2) On inauguration night 2009, Paul Ryan (R-WI) and several Republican Party members plotted to undermine President Obama. One can only assume this was simply a continuation of the Fox News' Republican re-election center's attack against Obama, resulting from the Republican Party's close-knit relation with Fox News.
3) Rupert Murdoch promotes the Tea Party on Fox News as wealthy contributors utilize the Citizens United ruling to funnel unlimited amounts of money to Tea Party members running for Congress.

5) On Meet The Press, Gingrich confirms he attended an inauguration day meeting, but the questions go no further.
6) On Meet The Press, no one mentioned Paul Ryan (R-WI) -- Romney's VP pick -- participated in the secret meeting to plot against President Obama. No one even considers that Rupert Murdoch or Fox News may have been involved.

7) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - (08 sec) finally officially announces the Republican Party's priority
"Our political priority, over the next two years, should be to deny President Obama a second term."
8) Scott Walker (R-WI) - (38 sec) tells a wealthy donor he wants to "divide and conquer" Wisconsin
"We're going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employees, use Divide and Conquer."
9) Mike Turzai (R-PA) - (13 sec) is caught on tape as he confirms the GOP's election fraud strategy
"Voter ID, which is gonna allow Gov. Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done!"
10) Marco Rubio (R-FL) - (42 sec) gives an RNC speech complete with a very revealing Freudian slip
"We chose more government instead of more freedom."
