| State of the Union 2011 – Republican Rebuttal | ||||

These two Republican Rebuttals offer a good look into the split of the GOP these days. One can sit through the Ryan speech calmly to wonder how it is that half of America sees taking from those with the least to give to those with the most a GOOD thing backed by Jesus no less.
The other speaker differs in that it generates that same emotional anger that Talk Radio and Fox News do with that barrage of lie-in-your-face crap that comes not minute by minute but second by second. The yelling it induces at an inanimate object because there is no sentence by sentence rebuttal other than your own voice.
The increased debt was about TARP which was Republican and Bush initiated. The stimulus was absolutely needed to ward off a depression which even conservative economists like Allan Greenspan agreed. And it was not a failure but a resounding success. Half of it was in tax breaks and it saved our entire auto industry and millions of jobs. Unemployment was on the rise no matter. This Great Recession was caused by Republican backed deregulation of the financial sector. On and on and on. They not only lie, but tell the opposite of the truth. It’s so frustrating that one may even compare it propagandist Joesph Goebbels which caused World War II, the Holocaust and Genocide!
