2. Sadly, many in their party base still believe a lot of these

They remain convinced that Acorn stole the 2008 election, and Solyndra and Fast and Furious were scandals swept under the rug by the liberal media.
Informed Republicans = an oxymoron

just the low-income and middle-class ones IMO. The millionaires of the party are the ones who benefit from the extra tax cuts, as they tend to be less-dependent on the government services that would be cut to pay for the tax breaks.

even the GOP fat cats are morons because they foul the nest and can't even admit to themselves (at least Buffet does) that fat cows give MORE milk. But what can you expect from sociopaths?

Without food stamps and welfare we'd see food riots in the street and people breaking into the residences of the rich and wealthy to kidnap and murder them. They apparently think that propaganda from the TV is stronger than a growling stomach.

8. Last week, Obama's approval rate was 48%

Now at the end of the week of sheer, over-the-top hysteria from the teahadists, President Obama's approval rate is up to 51%!

As usual they are overreaching and turning off people with their stupidity. They are doing the same thing that motivated and energized the left, independants and centrists to vote for Obama, in 2012.

So, here's hoping they keep it up and we can win some seats back in the house, come 2014! We must work to accomplish a majority there, to save our livelihoods.

There are many intellectually deprived people, but more who realize by now, that there just isn't an iota of dirt to be gotten on our POTUS or our FLOTUS, no matter how hard those fools try!!!!!
