MSNBC Democratic consultant/contributor this morning: Republicans can't both run from Bush's economic record and embrace...
Wait. Stop right there. The economic meltdown we were in when Obama took over had nothing to do with Bush. It was a result of Republican party public policy. Their policy has not changed. And neither will the result if we let it come into effect again.

Love Fetuses, Hate Kids
Chris Smith (R-NJ): Fetuses "the most persecuted minority in the world"
If we could get past the fact these men want to force women who have been raped, who have been a victim of incest, who are way too young or poor or in ill health to have a baby - to have a baby, we could then consider the brutal irony of being a big fan of fetuses but dead set against any kind of public policy that would give most of these kinds of kids a chance.

They Didn't Say Where
Wall Street Journal: Big U.S. Firms Shift Hiring Abroad
Republicans told us cutting taxes would lead to job creation so we cut taxes for most of the biggest corporations down to zero. And boy howdy did it create jobs... in China. Here it destroyed the tax base, killed our production capacity and exploded the national debt. GOP public policy works great for China and India, but why anybody in this country would vote Republican is beyond us.

Private Skies
Headline: GOP To Use Sleeping Air Controllers To Push For Privatization
There is nothing these people won't privatize. They have no desire to participate in effective government and in fact spend most of their time trying to sell it off to their corporate cronies. If you want super rich CEO's maximizing their own profit by paying your air traffic controllers as little as possible, vote GOP. After which we suggest you take the train.

The Kyle Rule
WASHINGTON – The Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checker PolitiFact took on the Republican claim that reducing tax rates has always produced higher federal revenues, rating it "false."
To be fair the GOP never meant this central tenant of their public policy to be factual.

Theft
Last Friday all but four Republicans in the House of Representatives voted for Paul Ryan’s budget proposal to privatize medical insurance for seniors, retirees, and people too sick or too old to qualify for private insurance.
So the GOP majority in the House of Representatives just voted to abolish Medicare because according to them, we can't afford it. Yet in the same breath they voted for even more tax breaks for the well to do and the corporations. So basically they're taking the money we've been paying into Medicare and giving it to rich people in the form of tax breaks. In GOP world the super rich get an extra private jet and the poor, the middle class, and the elderly get to pay for it.
