Hype #1 - The Republicans are against raising taxes and for a balanced budget.
Translation - What are they really trying to say? We can spend the country into a hole while lowering taxes for the wealthy and Corporations while shipping jobs overseas and maximizing profits with no oversight, but you can't try to fix the imbalance we created.
Hype #2 - That's all controlled by the "Law of Supply and Demand"
Translation - We want to control the supply in order to maximize profits by producing less and charging more.
Hype #3 - We should concentrate on the problems with the banking system.
Translation - We can help the poorly run and Ponzi-like financial district but not the teachers, manufacturing workers, unemployed. We can help the debtor states (mostly Red States) but not their poor. We can help Bankers but not the Artists that make us think and give us comfort.
Hype #4 - We don't want Obama's policies to fail and Rush is not our leader.
Translation - We don't want to work with this administration because if it succeeds we will not get elected and if we agree to work with the Obama Administration Rush Limbaugh won't support us and we will lose the election. So we must block all efforts to make America stronger to please Rush but make it look like we have valid reasons to kill every effort to succeed.
Hype #5 - We are the party of Lincoln
Translation - Yup the party of Lincoln and Grover Norquist, and Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Oliver North, Bill Frist, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich and a bevy of slight of hand prevaricators. You party fought Civil Rights in the past and still does and all the Michael Steel's will not make it so; Abe Lincoln's party you are not.
