Propaganda central
GOP.com | Republican National Committee :: Home
I tried to watch an episode of their propaganda video clip, but it's so slow I can't get a consistent feed, I have good internet, so that's not the problem, I watch high bandwidth videos from truthout with no problem. Anyway, the summaries say several things:
1) Democrats will increase spending and deficits - This is nuts, coming from the people who turned a trillion dollar surplus to a trillion dollar deficit. anyway, when opposing parties are in congress and white house we get the lowest spending, because they can't agree on who to give all the kickbacks to.
2) Tax Cuts increase Revenue - Hopefully this is a no-brainer, but when taxes are directly cut, that money would have to work harder than it is possible just to equal the lost revenue. Of course, revenue increases naturally over time as we get more people, inflation, etc. so it is idiotic to draw the connection.
3) so many more BS things they say, in fact nearly everything that Republicans disseminate as gospel is in fact at odds with the truth. But their followers refuse to investigate the truth, so it works for them. Fortunately, only around 30% of the US is actually brainwashed by this propaganda, although it's disturbing the numbers who ignore it and don't actively work against it.
