Saying that GOP candidates are moving leftward is like saying a KKK member going to a tanning salon will have a better understanding of the plight of black people in America.

“GOP Candidates Dart Leftward”
Yep, lets get all those video clips from the primaries out and start making ads for the Democrats. “Before and after” comparisons are always fun to watch.

“Rep. Tom Cotton, running to flip a Senate seat to the GOP, announced he would vote for a state-level minimum wage hike in Arkansas. He said he would vote for it “as a citizen,” but said he would oppose a Senate minimum wage bill if elected, as he opposed an amendment that would raise the minimum wage in the House in 2013.”
Ummmm, ok, no matter how I look at that, it makes absolutely no sense.
Those democrats and their lack of clearly defined values, sheesh, they flip flop on every issue whereas we republicans always…wait … what was that about OTC contraceptives? And that minimum wage deal?
Jeebus…I’m confused…
(snark)
Sure, we’ll believe that candidates like Cory Gardner who STILL have their names on the federal “personhood” bill in the United States House of Representatives, a bill that would OUTLAW most forms of birth control, now want the same birth control available over the counter…Give us a break, Gardner is a liar and a certified snake oil salesman!
is anyone surprised that the republ;icons would do this they know that their policies are nothing but BS to the vast majority of the American populace but it never stopped them from turning around and sayong things that they don’t belive in for one F’N second to win an election then turn around once more to show their tru colors …that would be as brown as the biggest fresh layed cow pie
Lots of politicians, both D and R, will move towards the center during an election season. No big surprise there. The minimum wage issue is an easy one because at the end of the day so few hourly workers earning the minimum wage in the first place. So it really won’t have a big economic effect if we raised it. But it makes good headlines to say that you’re helping the poor. Even though what we should be focused on is how we need to be creating more better paying jobs…

They do this because of the large group of “undecideds” who switch their votes from Republican to Democrat on single issues, hot-button items, or just ignorance of what’s good for them. The “vast majority of the American populace” either doesn’t vote at all or doesn’t have even the most meager grasp of the issues. They vote based on TV commercials.
