We Built This City! (with taxpayer dough) . . .

This is how supremely cynical these people are:

Today, the Romney campaign is hosting an entire series of campaign events based on President Obama’s misinterpreted comment about small businesses. While Obama’s full speech made a “no man is an island” argument, the Romney campaign has seized on the quote, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that” as evidence of Obama’s disdain for small business owners.

Romney, ignoring the fact that he has echoed this same sentiment on multiple occasions, organized 24 “We Did Build This” events in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Nevada. At each event, local business owners are speaking about their self-sufficiency in running a business and how government is hindering their growth.

But, like the New Hampshire business owner showcased in Romney’s attack ad on the issue, many of these business owners have received significant support from the government.

They have to know that not every voter is as stupid and gullible as your average T-bagger.

Yet there they are -- blatantly going out of their way to try and make people believe that by promoting a bunch of businesses, who public records show have received federal taxpayer subsidies and/or government contracts, as examples of businesses that have built themselves without ANY help at all from anyone -- is sufficient proof to back up their widely debunked claim that Obama dissed small business owners.

The dishonesty and sneering scorn they demonstrate toward the American public is simply brazen in it's breadth.

So in essence - Romney's team fully well knows that they are lying, but they also know who their base is.  And they know that their base will believe ANYTHING as long as it results in Obama being removed from office in November.  The level of blind rage and hatred that their base has toward the dirty, negro, commie, socialist, Kenyan Muslim is such, that if truth were a 40 lb. sledgehammer swung and connected right between their eyes, it still wouldn't allow them to see it.  And it's a damn certainty that Willard's handlers aren't going to let an easy mark like the right wing base escape the clutches of their con game.

So in a nutshell - this is what the GOP's strategy is going to be right up until election day - as they know that their candidate is an elitist, dishonest empty suit who has no original ideas or vision of his own and is completely beholden to wealthy corporate interests and will govern as such.  It is going to be lies upon lies, upon lies upon even more lies.  It will be the old throw as much mud as you can at a brick wall and see how much sticks routine.  And sadly, for the overall good of the country, a great many people are going to be willfully playing along with the suicidal ruse.
