Every day, after everything I hear from the GOP, I expect that they can't go any lower. But every day, they seem to find a new low. I thought that yesterday, when Romney Co-Chairperson John Sununu, Jr. said that Gen. Colin Powell was only backing and voting for Obama because they were both black to be the low point for the GOP. And yes, that was an incredibly low point. For Sununu not only said that Powell was voting for Obama because of race, he was proud that the general had used race as the reason for his vote. So with one swing he said the Obama had no reason for people to vote for him except for race, called Powell a racist who only cares about race, but gives his backing for white racists to vote for Romney. After all, if it's okay for blacks to vote for Obama just because he's black, then it must be okay for whites to vote for Romney because he's white, right? Thought that was as low as the GOP could ever go? Think again. And Romney didn't need a spokesperson for this one.
Speaking in Ohio, Romney stated that Jeep was planning to move all their productions from Ohio to China. This can't be true, can it? No, absolutely it's not! But a right-wing blogger read that Jeep was looking into building Jeeps for China in China and wrote that Jeep was stopping production in North America. A Romney staffer read it (I take it Mitt didn't read it himself) and added it to a speech. And so Romney out and out lied about Ohioans losing jobs to China. Jeep later sent out press release explaining their stance, but think the people at that rally will hear about that or Romney will make a correction?
Every day, I hear something from the GOP in their statements to the American people which is racist, a distortion, or an out-and-out lie and I hope that's as low as this group of GOP people can go. But every day, they find a new way to go even lower. Just how low can the GOP go?
