Al-satian.......the only thing people would be on their knees praying for is a return of the brains you lost.
Remember what I said about Chicago - it is to politics what Italians are to the Mafia. Don't mess with the pros in Chicago.
This too might backfire. While they are wallowing in muck there are real things about the GOP agenda that are not being talked about.
How many Americans who do not watch MSNBC and CNN know that Ryan plans to "balance" the budget by removing tax dductions most used by the middle class, mortgage interest and retirement plan contributions?
How many know that Ryan's vouchers buy them nothing, at an age when they will have nothing?
How many know that when Romney gets rid of Obamacare he will force Americans to pay for their health insurance out of their own pockets?
How many know that income taxes as a % of govt revenues and GDP are the lowest ever, far lower than in the Reagan and Clinton eras when the eocnomy was much healthier?
How many know that Fed expenditures, other than Medicare/aid, Soc Sec, debt service, and defense are only 15% of the total? And that defense is 2X as large as the rest of the govt combined?
Yes they think that the deficit is because of all of Obama's spending, which they think only benefits "foreigners and welfare loving blacks".
The most ardent Obama hater will hold their noses and vote for him, as many did last time, once they know these things.
But what we have instead are two sides yelling and screaming slogans and grossly distorted facts..which means that the Obama haters will hate him, not knowing what they are doing to themselves by supporting President Ryan (Romney is just an observer here).
Dont under estimate how stupid many working class people in the heartlands are. Bible thumping, gay bashing, abortion banning, and gun promoting are all they think is important because they take Medicare and otrher govt programs for granted and are swallowing the nonsense that Ryan will "save" Medicare.
Romney is outraising Obama and this doesnt include Super PAC money. So Obama has to make the best use of the sound bites he gets on CNN. Demanding Romney's tax returns is a poor use of time, given that most people have no respect for any politician so might think that Obama is as corrupt as the next man.
