Here's another example:

DNC Speaker and actress Kerry Washington told the crowd last night Republicans want to take away a women’s right to vote.


Quote:
Today there are people trying take away rights that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for: our right to vote, our right to choose, affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. We the people can’t let that happen.



So according to this DNC Speaker, Republicans want to take away women's right to vote, equal pay, not to go to school, and their access to healthcare....RIGHT?

Can a Liberal please show me where a Republican has said they want women to not have access to healthcare, not to vote, not go to school, or get equal pay?

This really is a ridiculous argument. Your blind partisanship is causing you to see and hear things that aren't even there.

What IS he saying when he talks about discrimination and then asks they want to "go back"?????

Since you insist on LYING....here's the VIDEO:






Your blind partisanship is forcing YOU to lie....I really feel bad for you.

Ouch! Typical shellacking of an unidentfied and uniformed liberal.

Here's one of the most laughable Straw Men set up by Obama:

Quote:
..You can choose a future where we reduce our deficit without wrecking our middle class. Independent analysis shows that my plan would cut our deficits by $4 trillion. Last summer, I worked with Republicans in Congress to cut $1 trillion in spending – because those of us who believe government can be a force for good should work harder than anyone to reform it, so that it's leaner, more efficient, and more responsive to the American people....

Every single year that President Obama has been in office he has run up more deficits than any other President ever in the history of our nation. Our nation went from averaging 300-500 billion a year under Bush to deficits of over a trillion every year. And now he promises to 'cut deficits' when he set the records for deficits the last 4 years? And when did he 'work with Republicans'- by all accounts he didn't work well with them, was not able to put in place any sort of real deal, and instead just watched as Congress put in place a bad debt deal that just shoved the problem farther down the road. And this is what he is bragging out? How can you brag about nothing?

And another Staw Man from Obama:

Quote:
...Over and over, we have been told by our opponents that bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way; that since government can't do everything, it should do almost nothing. If you can't afford health insurance, hope that you don't get sick. If a company releases toxic pollution into the air your children breathe, well, that's just the price of progress.


Could a Liberal please quote for me a Republican saying that:

a) tax cuts and deregulation is the ONLY way to go

b) government should do nothing

c) if you can't afford health care, just don't get sick

d) they want children to die from toxic waste

Default Strawman ideology

Why do Republicans have a strawman IDEOLOGY?

Pubs, desperation does not become you, and sour grapes await.

President Obama is headed for a second term...and don't you forget it either.
