There’s chutzpah and then there’s rank hypocrisy.
The RNC released a slick but cynical web ad this week commemorating the first 100 days of President Obama’s second term. Politics ain’t beanbag and no one expected their assessment would be sunshine and light. But there’s a particularly low place for folks who block and then blame—in this case, intimating with mock sadness that the president is legislatively impotent for failing to pass universal background checks in the wake of the Sandy Hook slaughter.
do they really think that people are still buying that crap, you can miss 3 news cycles an still hear the truth unless it's Fox, anything else is just obstinance on behalf of the sore losers that could not beat him so they'll just use the same strategy and this time will be different.
Reality Check: 41 Republican Senators (and 5 Democrats) voted against the bipartisan compromise bill crafted by Republican Pat Toomey and Democrat Joe Manchin. And among Republicans controlling the House, the modest background check bill—supported by 90% of Americans—was considered DOA.
This affront to common sense and common decency is difficult to defend. And so the RNC response is to blame the president for a failure to lead despite the fact that his bipartisan outreach was rejected by most Republicans.
Don’t take my word for it—listen to Pat Toomey: “In the end it didn’t pass because we’re so politicized,” Toomey told the Times Herald editorial board. “There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because thepresident wanted to do it.”
how do you win votes by telling over half of Americans they are to stupid to see the problem Pres. is causing, all they are trying to do is stop him by obstructing everything he wants despite the fact that it's best for you and the country?
they definitely gotta get another hat that rabbit is dead.
