Â

The GOP is tenacious in propagating its big lies but Democrats canà ‚¬ „ t seem to do much but just sit there and not really do much to get THEIR message out OR defend the truth. The Democrats are like Rocky Balboa and they block with their chin.

Â

They just take it and look like ineffectual idiots. They roll over and let the GOP-bought-mainstream media just dictate what we will think every day by sheer default.

Â

The only reason the Democrats ever get into the White House and Congress at all is because the GOP is so corrupt that it regularly fouls our national nest so badly that finally the public can't stand it anymore and puts Democrats in the majority once in a blue moon. But then the public develops sudden GOP-MSM-aided amnesia and forgets within weeks of the election just why they voted for the Democrats and then the GOP is provided another giant megaphone and theyy undermine and naysay until they get back into power because they are the only voice in town on the air and they are better organized to spread their lies than the Democrats are to defend the actual truth.

Â

As a case in point: the GOP has recently hired huge saturation advertisers to run ads on TV tearing down, nitpicking and fear mongering the public about healthcare reform, precisely at the same time the Democrats, a day late and a dollar short, finally get around to introducing their major legislation that has already been watered down by delay and lobbying.

Â

Obama then comes in late in the game to salvage what he can only after heà ‚¬ „ s gallavanted and dallied around. So now he's stuck in the position of Congress going into recess, which will give the enemies of reform more time to plan their destructive stratetgy. By the time it comes to a vote, it is questionable whether Obama's attempts at catch up will do any good. By then it is almost too late to do his sales job to the public.

Â

By the time he and the Democrats get around to it will be an uphill battle and slow slogging for his reform proposals.

Then he willl be on the verge of losing his battle for national healthcare reform. And the GOP is salivating because if they can shoot this one down, they know Obamaà ‚¬ „ s presidency is done.
