A Few Republican bad apples....?

We should be grateful the tea party Republicans would never think of name calling in the upcoming presidential election. Issues, issues, issues....

Does the following disturbing story offer a glimpse of what we can all expect in the future?


And of course showing respect for our Commander and Chief has always been a top priority of conservative patriots as well.

Remember when Republicans chided
 liberals with "You just hate Bush?" 

A controversial Texas billboard on interstate 35 that compares President Obama to the late terrorist Osama Bin Laden is now spreading to T-shirts and bumper stickers. Tom Schad, who put the billboard up originally, started making a few t-shirts for friends, but now has many orders.

Schad falsely claimed that President Obama took all the credit for the death of Bin Laden: “He needs to understand its ‘we’, a team effort. He didn’t pull the trigger those seals pulled the trigger.”

However, some people have complained that the ad as advocates violence against President Obama. 

Romney's Lying Ad Ushers in Truth Free Campaigning for GOP?

If the press ever met a challenge before, this is it. Let's see who reports the truth about the following ad from Mitt Romney, and who blames both sides or resorts to "some say" relativism...like in the first sentence of this Daily News story: 

Mitt Romney … already launching his general election attack on President Obama, with a vicious -- and some say deceitful -- new ad. The 60-second spot shows Obama during a stop in New Hampshire in 2008 as ominous music plays in the background. The text "he promised he would fix the economy," and "he failed" … At one point, Obama is heard saying "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose." Although it sounds Obama is talking about his chances of winning in 2012, the then-Senator was actually quoting an aide from Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008.

Andrea Mitchell and Rachel Maddow rightfully rip Romney a new one:

GOP Debate Fact Finder...

Amazing stuff, and this was just the earlier report on the candidates lies and spin.

Keep Union Influence out of American Politics says the Romney Campaign.

Forget the coded language, watch how Romney campaign policy director Lanhee Chen sees nothing wrong with getting rid of union money's influence on politics, just as long as corporate cash, you know, free speech, remains the one and only player.

Chen: "It's time we get tough on union bosses! And it's time we finally allow unions to stop having the outside influence they're having on American politics." 

Thank god the Mitt Romney campaign will save union members the agony of having their dues wasted on influencing and advocating worker rights.

Pundit class ignoring public rage against Republican Authoritarian overreach when predicting elections!!

I've mentioned it a few times here that D.C. pundits and cable news coverage seems to overlook the dissatisfaction level of voters in Republican dominated states that have trashed collective bargaining and slashed education funding. Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and Michigan may not be so anxious to vote in a Republican president if their governors are any indication as to what could happen on a national level.

Here, Chris Cillizza cluelessly pretends the above mentioned states, because of their Republican majorities, will vote for a Republican for president despite their public anger. Hello, the approval ratings of their governors and economic direction tell a whole different story.
