You'd think they'd have learned from the big #AreYouBetterOff Fail last night, but Americans for Prosperity bought the #hashtag #16trillionfail tonight and tried to steer comments in their direction with this tweet:
@AFPhq
Have you cut back your budget in the last few years? Why can’t Washington do the same? #16trillionfail http://bit.ly/...
Yet again, $120,000 of Republican money is being used to mostly attack Republicans and their policies. Let's keep it going. If you're on Twitter, get in there and subvert, subvert, subvert! If you're not on Twitter, sign up and join the fun. Report back here with your tweets!
BTW, last night there were some questions on how to use Twitter. If there are still people needing instructions, let me know in posts and I'll update with some basic Twitter How-Tos.
Here's the first page of Tweets (none removed):

Obama saved the economy with a $787 stimulus. What other part of the #16TrillionFail should he be blamed for?
@BrandonKoopman

@Yummiestbigred
What an ironic statement. #16TrillionFail #WeWontGoBack “@MittRomney: Words at a convention cannot cover up years of failure."
@MajorLizUSA
#16TrillionFail #GOP thanks for paying for these great #hashtags They are working really well for our cause #DCN2012 #Obama2012 #msnbc2012
@ChristiKennedy
The 'It wasn't me!' strategy won't work. The GOP contributed largely to our debt. #16TrillionFail
@izzyjsmom
#16TrillionFail 6Trillion in 4 years, Obama still blaming Bush, can't run on his record so he uses Smear & Fear, #tcot #resist44

@DrChaya
#16TrillionFail "We" built that - yes #GOP you did. #GOPFail
@FakeMattTaylor
People blaming Bush for the #16TrillionFail when he increased it by 5 billion, but Obama nearly doubles that in 4 years. Yeah, bye.
@moorh
Not only #16TrillionFail but we're missing our priorities. We invade countries that have no oil and miss the ones that do.
@GailP215
#16TrillionFail is why the #GOP didn't have Bush or Cheney at their convention.
@eggrollin_ruiz
#16TrillionFail: probably the defining tweet of the DNC 2012 #vcusocialmediapolitics
And here's the Top Tweets:

@sbca80
#16TrillionFail Thanks to Bush/Cheney'sTWO wars, Bush tax cuts that did NOTHING but increase debt and unregulated Wall St losing our life $$
@WisdomSeeker18

@Eclectablog

@milque
$360,000+ paid by @MittRomney to Twitter for 3 days of 3 failed promoted trends? That's what I call sensible spending! #16TrillionFail
@MotivatedInOhio
http://twitpic.com/... - Causes of National Debt. I wonder if the Republicans actually fact check. #16TrillionFail
@ejesse
LOL, GOP bought promoted trend #16TrillionFail but all the tweets are about how republicans drove up the debt
@TerrillCharming
We dont live in Reagan or Clinton times. Gas isnt 99 cents people. #16TrillionFail came from spending by Bush.
@Greytdog
#16TrillionFail occurred because George Bush HID the costs of his two wars; Obama demanded those costs be PUT BACK IN
@pdacosta
#16TrillionFail is the third 'promoted' Republican hashtag in two days to turn into a liberal hippie tweetfest. Gnarley dude.
@TheDailyEdge

@greyparker
Romney Plan Makes Debt Worse http://thkpr.gs/... Thanks for promoting #16TrillionFail @AFPhq
@SLSiri
George Bush gets us into 2 unfunded wars and hands out tax cuts that the GOP now refuse to rescind for the rich. #16trillionFail
@TheDailyEdge
Republicans launch new #16TrillionFail hashtag to remind us how we're all still paying for the Bush wars and tax cuts Paul Ryan voted for
@LOLGOP
#16TrillionFail Bush tax cuts, 2 wars and a completely avoidable financial crisis brought to you by the exact guys funding Romney
@LOLGOP
#16TrillionFail Is that how much the Kochs are paying for this BS?
@greyparker

@ackbar_ftw
If millionaires and billionaires kept their money in America, we could bring down the #16TrillionFail
@AFPhq
