The House Republics started their re-election offensive today
and seem to be introducing the memes they will run on. Anybody watching this? I've heard these:

Democrats are getting nothing done.

Democrats promised transparency but are disenfranchising Republics (and their constituents) in the House.

Democrats care more about "illegal immigrants" and terrorists than they care about the American people.

Anybody else?

1. Good luck with that Republics
I know they feel they have to do something, but the damage is already done and the voting public knows it.

2. I agree but it was interesting to see how they're going to try to
hang on to those 20 odd seats.

3. If that's the case, be prepared for a lot of all-night filibusters.
Reid's very shrewd in this regard. If the Repugs want to play the "Dems aren't getting anything done" card, Reid will be prepared to show the American people exactly why that's the case.

4. Reid is very shrewd (thank God). But, the Thugs are playing
to their base and they seem to have their topics in hand today. I have a feeling we'll be hearing them over and over and over, so I wanted to catch as many as possible right off.

They're so transparent once you figure out how to listen to them.

6. I honestly don't think the term Republic
is insulting enough, Republic almost sounds noble.
How about "Banana Republicons"

7. I prefer The Thuggery but don't want to be too repetitive.
