Incredibly, the conservative bullshit machine has a new pile of turd for gullible conservatives to swallow and regurgitate. They have rolled out Captain Conservative: Defender of Justice - fighting for American workers.
Meet the new strat com guy, Rep. Tom Cotton. According to Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR), in an interview on Meet The Press last Sunday, President Obama's move on immigration will drive down wages and eliminate jobs. Cotton said, “The president just lost an election, in no small measure because wages for working families are declining and unemployment is still too high in too many places, and the first big action he took after the election was to make it easier for illegal immigrants to get jobs, not for working families to get jobs.”
Of Course, Chuck Todd Did not utter a word to challenge the newest Strategic Communications face of the Republican party. Todd let Cotton pitch the idea that the republicans are rescuing middle-class jobs and good wages from the Kryptonite-wielding democrats. These guys have outsourced millions of good paying jobs, have insourced 12 million Mexican immigrants for cheap labor, and put a lid on wage growth. Giving a pass to republican B.S. must stop.
The political party trying to undo the New Deal, the party that gave tax cuts to corporations to relocate manufacturing plants overseas, the party that refuses to crack down on employers illegally hiring immigrants, the party of tax cuts for hedge-fund managers, the party adamantly against raising the minimum wage, the party waging an all out war on unions, the party trying to repeal the ACA, the party that shifted the tax burden to the middle-class from the rich, and much more is set to use the immigration issue against Dems based on downward pressure on wages. Mitt (Mr. 47 percent) Romney's party is trying to prove they are the party of the workers - talk about the fox guarding the hen house. How dumb do they think we are? Apparently very.
Asking republicans to protect the middle class is like asking Bill Cosby to run a women's shelter.
Fearing the emergence of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and millions of low wage strikers, they are attempting to get ahead of the populist uprising that is sure to dominate the 2016 elections. Captain Conservative: Defender of the Working Class will be the spin template for the next two years.
It is obvious to anyone of average intelligence that liar-for-hire Frank Luntz (or similar) is hoping to dupe the dopes one more time (remember that half of all people are below the median in intelligence). Republicans have a long history of masking their actions with their words. They once rolled out the "Clear Skies Act"which actually allowed for millions of tons of additional pollution to be dumped in the air.
After 35-years of being pick-pocketed (marked by Reagan's election in 1980) by flag-waving pseudo-christians, you would think the T-Baggers would figure out Captain Conservative is a fictitious character, but the mentally-vulnerable illiterates on the right will gobble this up like a Fox News report on Ben Ghazi.
You can't make this stuff up.
