The thing is, they’ll repeat this bald faced lie until everyone believes it. The GOP needs to get out ahead of this one.

My prediction:

The GOP will sit meekly sucking on their thumbs until in a day or two, Sarah Palin will send a 10-word tweet which FLATTENS the entire democrat party.

Just you watch.

You're right, but two things make it unlikely. First, the 'Rats own the media. The media are the 'Rats. Relatively few people view news outlets like FOX. Most sheeple are spoon-fed their information from the MSM. That means they'll get the 'Rat meme and nothing else.

Second, it simply isn't in the nature of the GOP to fight the 'Rats. They simply don't do it. The 'Rats have always been the masters when it comes to down-and-dirty street fighting. In some ways, the GOP is like the kid who always gets picked on by the bullies ('Rats) and would rather hide than fight. The 'Rats will kick the GOP in the teeth and they'll just whimper. Then they'll be laughed at and marginalized. Until that changes, it will be the same old story.

What is wrong with the GOP spokesperson? Why don’t they run out in front of the microphones to counter these claims?

Oh, Yeah, I forgot, the GOP hates the Tea Party also. Well, they better get over it! At least half the R’s are supporting Tea Party candidates.

I am sending 0 dollars to the GOP. Saving mine for Tea Party candidates who will stand up for their beliefs.

You see! Just like that. The talking points have gone out in advance of the Sunday shows and the Democrats are trying to frame the downngrade in the minds of the American people as the 'Tea Party downgrade.' Damn the fool GOP for their flat-footedness.

Agreed, although when Democrats attack, they may be opening themselves up for attack. Strategically, I think they’re not where they want to be.
