“And why can’t the Republicans get that simple message out to Americans?”
Two reasons. Reason number one. Republicans running for office are afraid to call their Democrat opponents Marxist Criminals.
The second reason is the media will not convey the Republicans message. The only way we can get our message conveyed is to go after the media and force them to report on what is going on.
I say the GOP, RNC, whomever need to run national TV ads. Show Americans how the Dems wrecked the US via their subprime loan scams, etc...
