Before The Republicans Start Lying About it
Let me set the record straight.

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/01/07/obama-more-jobs-bush/">Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight



And

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/07/opinion/07krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinion">The Texas Omen

Wait — Texas? Wasn’t Texas supposed to be thriving even as the rest of America suffered? Didn’t its governor declare, during his re-election campaign, that “we have billions in surplus”? Yes, it was, and yes, he did. But reality has now intruded, in the form of a deficit expected to run as high as $25 billion over the next two years.

These are the kind of lies that shape a republican victory...we live in a dumbocracy!

2. Republicans lie. It is their MO.
The media repeats their lies with no fact-checking and their gullible followers never question a word.

3. And we sit back and let them
The media repeats their lies with no fact-checking and their gullible followers never question a word.


Whether we like to admit it or not, we allow the politicians and the media to force feed us BS on a 24/7 basis.

America will die because the voters are uneducated and uninformed as to the political issues of the times...

5. Look at your anemic response?
Edited on Sat Jan-08-11 12:24 PM by affrayer
What more proof is necessary? Where is your educated and informed response to the dumbing down of America?

Start with something simple. Thousands of times republicans have publicly made the claim that tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs. Well we've had those Bush Jr tax cuts for more than 10 years.

Where were the jobs while Bush Jr was president?

Why only now, with Obama as president and his economic policies do we see job growth?

Where is the media pointing out that there is no basis for the republicans claims?

Better yet, why do you believe that the tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs?

6. We can do nothing about a complicit media.
They actually own the media. What can we do? Suggestions? We vote. We hope our candidates don't misrepresent what they believe like some recently have.
