4. Republican talking points recited by the pundits, never called out.
Sun May 6, 2012, 12:05 PM
May 2012

To reiterate:

1. Having a black president is divisive.
2. Obama takes credit for getting Bin Laden.
3. Economy is terrible.
4. Businesses want stability.

Now the rest of the story:

1. Gays should be locked up, tortured and executed. Or at least, if you get one on your staff, don't listen to him.
2. Women should be locked up in their houses. Or at least, make sure they can't get health insurance or contraception coverage.
3. Government departments of education, environmental protection, energy, social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, head start should all be shut down or at least de-funded.
4. No one should be allowed to vote without jumping through hoops. Or at least make them get a photo ID.
5. All unions, especially public employee unions should be banned. Or at least not allowed to collectively bargain.
6. If possible, all the wealth of the country should be shifted to the deserving, that is the ones that have all or most of it already. Or at least, make sure the tax code gives those earning unearned income (Dividends, Interest and Capital gains) a nice tax break.

Add your own.
