1. It is the republican answer to all problems large and small
Starting wars doesn't solve those problems any more, they are just necessary to support the buddies in the defense industry.

3. It's getting so silly now, we should just put their taxes back to where they were..
Under Nixon.

And make it retroactive all the way back to the 70's.

5. Tone deaf.
Are they listening to Rush and think he is echoing the sentiments of the people? Do they really not get that this is not a popular policy? This and their "proud" vision of privatizing Social Security has me puzzled.

8. It talks about stripping funding for abortions from Obama's health care plan
.... even though that was NEVER in Obama's plan in the first place.

BTW it is anti gay too.

12. Same song, same verse. I'm sick and tired of their old refrain.
Their song is older than Newt and as inane as McCain.

9. I thought the argument is that small businesses don't make that much?
So they won't be affected by the tax increases on the rich. You are all making me dizzy.

10. I hope the professional left sees this
There IS a difference between the Democrats and Republicans. You may think the Democrats will always disappoint you, but the Republicans will drag you into an alley and savagely beat and rape you.

14. lots of gobble-ty gook in it too
Our plan puts forth a new governing agenda that reflects the priorities of the
American people – priorities that have been ignored, even mocked by the
powers-that-be in Washington – and can be implemented today.

Tons of pictures .... and large font listings of subjects
