The Race Card And Dog Whistle Are Now In Open Play

The GOP meme that everyone is on the government dole now makes sense. Now they can imply that Obama is giving every white guys tax money to minorities. The socialist president is creating a new welfare state and working class people are paying for the laze "welfare queen" bums. They hope that this ploy will convince enough seniors to vote for them in spite of the fact that such vote will mean they will essentially lose health care if the Ryan budget ever became law.

Granted seniors are a fair minded lot for the most part. But the GOP will play into the Obama hatred and race to get enough of that vote. They will claim that Obama is cutting Medicare and Social Security when they are the ones who actually will be doing it. And they will have the corrupt media and the RW hate machine to carry their message.

And unless all the Republicans are sleeping in today, the response to Ryan has been mostly very negative. I don't think he was a very good choice for Romney.
