Cut them off at the knees
I think it's great that team Obama is using Republican tactics to show how ridiculous and divisive their constant faux outrage is and if in that process they can take Boss Limbaugh down...well then that's just a bonus.

Republicans have shown that they will not willingly put partisan politics aside and do what's right for the country. I say, cut them off at the knees so that they will have to start talking issues instead of rhetoric and if they don't...well not only has Obama tried to reach out to them but now their dirty Republican laundry has been aired for all to see. Let's make their posturing and obstructionism irrelevant.

4. For example,
saying something that isn't necessarily true like Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party enough times that the public accepts the statement. Now Republicans are tied to his outrageous statements whether they want to be or not.

2. Fringe...
we shouldn't pay attention to fringe people who watch Fringe News on the Fringe network. These people are, and have been, on the outskirts of reality. They felt important when they were being used by the chimp administration to bark loudly without logic. Now they're still barking loudly but people are staring at them and they can't understand why. It's because they are the Fringe.

I do like the show though (Fringe)

3. I could buy the obstructionism
Complaint if every single democrat in the House and Senate vote along party lines. As it stands, we don't NEED Republican votes. We can even move bills through the Senate without them so why on earth blame the repubs for anything? If you have no power, you can't exactly take any blame or the credit.
