WHY DO REPUBLICANS SO FEAR THE TRUTH? (Obama facts Romney should be shouting but isn't)

Finally, last week, someone with star power and a large daily audience had the courage to say it: “If you can’t beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party. Shut it down. Start new, with new people, because this is a gimme election – or at least it should be.”

Thank you, Laura Ingraham. It’s a welcome evolution from your past refusal to call Barack Obama a socialist when your pal, Bill O’Reilly (who continues to play it soft and fuzzy with the Marxmeister in the White House), gave you the opportunity to do so. And the next day, apparently feeling the heat, you asked your audience if it mattered whether Obama is called a socialist or a disaster.

You’re damn right it matters! And it’s not, as Mush McCain would say, “for others to decide.” This is war. It’s time for women to woman up and men to man up. It’s baffling why the truth is so scary to so many people. Baltasar Gracian, the wise and insightful 17th century Jesuit priest, nailed it when he said, “People do not love truth. Instead, they try to make true that which they love.”

And what Republicans love most is to believe that if they can be just a little kinder and gentler to radical progressives in the Democratic Party, those vile characters will respond in kind. Perhaps they should ask Charlie Brown how that kind of naïveté has worked out for him.

If I were advising Mitt Romney (heaven forbid) and his dumber-than-dumb campaign team how to go about defeating Der Fuhrbama, I would suggest they try something novel – like telling the truth. There are hundreds of truths Romney and his team should be conveying nonstop to the truth-starved public, but they are never even mentioned.

Here are some of the things that the Romney campaign ought to be highlighting ( they were relentless during the GOP primaries but are now pussies ):

That Barack Obama’s childhood mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a proud member of the Communist Party USA.

That Barack Obama openly stated that his spiritual mentor for 20 years was Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

That Barack Obama has refused to allow his college records at Columbia to be released.

That no one in Barack Obama’s graduating class at Columbia can remember him – or even remember hearing his name while in school.

That the Communist Party USA has endorsed Barack Obama for re-election.

That Barack Obama regularly uses hateful, divisive language such as “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” and “We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends.”

That Barack Obama openly supported the Occupy Wall Street thugs.

That Barack Obama wrote, in his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” that while at Columbia University, he purposely sought out radicals such as “the more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, and the Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets” to “avoid being mistaken for … a sellout.”

That Barack Obama served, along with Bill Ayers, on the board of the left-wing Woods Fund of Chicago (which made grants to ACORN and Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, among others), and later kicked off his political career in Ayers’ home.

That Barack Obama applauded the “democratic” uprising and overthrow of U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, yet refused to so much as offer a word of encouragement to the pro-American protesters in Iran.

That Barack Obama had the most liberal voting record in the Senate.

That Barack Obama violated U.S. law when he handed over effective control of GM and Chrysler to the UAW and stripped bondholders of their legal standing.

That Dr. John Drew, who knew Barack Obama during his years at Occidental College, has said that Obama made it clear that he was looking forward to “an imminent social revolution, literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a socialist utopia in the United States.”

That Barack Obama is carrying out the clearly stated communist dreams of his father and making good on his promise to fundamentally change the United States of America.

The list is as long as you want to make it. But you and I already know all of these things, as do millions of other Americans. The problem is that no one is hearing them from Mitt Romney or his ads.

It’s not that Repubs fear Obama.
They fear an enemy mainstream media that crucifies them at every chance...

A Democrat who used Racial preferences and set-asides she didn’t deserve, and wasn’t qualified for is considered a legitimate candidate for the Senate in Mass., and glorified by the media;

while a Republican who made a single stupid statement is destroyed by that same media in Missouri.

Those who underestimate the POWER OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA on the sheeple do so at risk to all of us.

We have example, after example, after example of the outright media bias, and yet, we aren’t demonstrating in the street outside of 30 Rock, are we?
