“In 2014, you elected us to bring change to Washington. For the past two years, Republicans have endeavored to move the nation forward but have been stymied by an obstructionist in the White House. We need a Republican President to complete the work of the nation.”

If anything gets past Obama’s veto, it will be an unlikely compromise that Republicans will take 100% of the credit for. Mitch McConnell wrote this game plan years ago.

We need to keep recording and replaying the words of Republicans when they let their masks slip, as Allen Weh did when he spoke of lowering the minimum wage. “So what?,” he intoned with such disdain his voice finally matched his mean ugly mug. That was a perfect echo of Romney’s disdain for the 47% (really, the 99%). These are the scoundrels, the old, rich, white men who aren’t going to let go of power until we tear it from their cold dead fingers. So be it. (Not a call to violence but a play on one of their many bullshit phrases we’ve all memorized through endless replay.) Record every word. Replay them every chance. Bring truth to corrupt, self-serving power. REAL truth, not Fox ‘truth’. They will stumble; the mask will slip again.
