"Obama wants to transform America and make it something we cannot even recognize"

According to Romney.

The GOP knows they can count on their supporters just cheering for shit that is not true.

The GOP counts on the GOP supporters being stupid drones. And they are mostly right.

I still cannot get a stright answer from my GOP "friends" about what Obama has done wrong in the last 3 years.

They have a lot of shit that is not true "Raised Taxes", "Cut military spending", Etc.

They are mindless drones who get their marching orders from Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Fox Noise, Etc.

I am sicker of them by the minute.

I just wonder if they have ever even listened to any of the President's remarks.

And they don't get called on it.

I wonder whether it's a specific Karl Rove technique, like attacking your opponent's greatest strength, or whether it just happened as a result of a weakness of their own argument, like a toddler who screams "You're so mean!" at an unmean parent.

My answer: It's about three years in, if he hasn't done it so far, so stop worrying about it.

Deep down, it's just a lot of repeated propaganda, If you try to nail them down they just jump to another one of the RW talking points.
