What to do if People Aren't Buying What You're Selling

  The question for Republican politicians is what do you do to make the unpalatable garbage you are trying to force feed average Americans, palatable? They've tried changing words like millionaires and billionaires to job creators. They've tried repeating over and over trite slogans like,it's not a revenue problem it's a spending problem. They have gerrymandered congressional districts. In states that voted for Obama and are governed by Republicans they want to redistribute electoral college votes. They are now engaged with doing a cosmetic face lift by putting lipstick on the idea bereft white elephant. Even the most beautiful waitress in the world can't make rancid garbage acceptable. The President invited members of families of horrendous gun violence to his state of the union. The Republicans invited Ted Nugent. A Republican senator, who proudly admitted after the Sandy Hook massacre that he owns an assault rifle, is going to filibuster the president's nominee for secretary  of defense. Some chicken-hawk Republican senators actually question the patriotism of the twice wounded veteran nominee for defense secretary,a Republican himself. If you put cooks in charge of the national kitchen and they serve tainted food it's time to fire them and bring in new ones.
