The GOP's Na-na-na-na-na Political Strategy

[Flaylo]

Jonathan Weiler: The GOP's Na-na-na-na-na Political Strategy

"Psychological projection" -- a psychological defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings, and so on onto someone else.

Projection has become the Republican Party's signature mode of attack. On a host of issues, including the "war on women," Medicare, "class warfare" and more, the GOP's response to Democratic has been to say, in the words of Talking Points Memo's Benjy Sarlin, "I know you are, but what am I?"

Time and again, Republicans have adopted policies that -- while appealing to their evermore extreme and authoritarian base -- are very unpopular with Americans more broadly. Their response to this political conundrum has been, time again, both to lie about their own proposals and to accuse Democrats of that which Republicans themselves are guilty.

Take Medicare. The Affordable Care Act includes a projected half a trillion dollars in savings through a variety of mechanisms, including changes in reimbursement rates to hospitals and by reducing over-payments to private Medicare advantage plans. Those changes do not reduce benefits to Medicare-eligible individuals. But that hasn't stopped Republicans, including Mitt Romney, from repeatedly attacking President Obama for gutting Medicare. Meanwhile, the Republican Party, including Romney, have wholeheartedly embraced the Paul Ryan budget which will "reform" Medicare by shifting more and more of the burden of rising health care costs onto seniors while undermining the long-term fiscal stability of the prog. cover the rising cost of health care. So how do Republicans deal with this obvious political liability? By accusing Democrats of that which Republicans are guilty, of course.

Sounds like Repugs to me, projection.

Sounds like a twisted misrepresentation to me. The liberals have practiced their trade for so long that lying just comes naturally. Obamacare (Unaffordable Care Act) doesn't save money. It costs money...big time money. It will put our great-great-great grandchildren in debt even if we balance the budget under the Ryan plan.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I don't know why they just don't lie. It works for the Democrats. Oh, wait, the Republicans don't have the major media outlets on the committee to elect Mitt Romney, do they? It's easier to lie with the media kissing your tush.

Allen West sticks by what he said and I tend to agree with a small change though.

I would call them all Socialists instead of Communists.

Ah, pardon me for pointing out "reality" but ObamaCare did in fact take billions of dollars out of Medicare to help defray the cost of Harry, Nancy and Barry's Frankenstein's monster of a bill.

What Ryan's plan attempts to deal with is the further "reality" that we can't keep the same Medicare system in place and not become insolvent trying to pay for it. Democrats refuse to tackle this tough issue and keep kicking it down the road.

Actually, we dont admire you at all Flaylo. We think you are a very sad individual and wish you would get the help you need to be a functional and decent human being.

By the way, if anyone's guilty of projecting. It would be you guys. The fact that we keep pointing out your hypocrisy on issues you pretend to care about really bothers you doesn't it?

Sounds like another juvenile thread........

yep.

The left should have one thread with one post in it..and it will pretty much cover all they say...

The title should be

"good vs evil"

The one post should say:

(D) = GOOD
(R) = EVIL

Bet your ass I admire war heroes like West. His men thought the world of him and with good reason. He backed them up. He says what he means and nothing PC about him.

Of course you wouldn't like him. He's not a pushover and probably thinks progressive assholes suck.

Allen West is not facking hero, quit using the war hero term, he didn't do jack shat that was heroic, he got kicked out of the army for misconduct and for acting like the ass that he is now, you're too facking stupid to remember this point. He can talk a lot of truthful shat that you like hear, his time is vastly approaching because he's a district that's mostly Democratic so he's assed out, kudos to your hero, dumb facktard.

That and that Republicans have learned that when Democrats make accusations, they are really showing their own weaknesses.

Everytime Democrats accuse Romney or any other Republican of anything, we should immediately investigate Progressives for the same reason. My guess is we will find it 500 times worse.

Really, so you know for a FACT there are no Democrats who are communist?
Maybe you can post a link for your information on that..
