I never knew the term or it's history. Though, it's not surprising that the GOP were the party that gave birth to it. Not surprising at all that citizens united and people like the Kochs would support it and apply it.

The Kochs are using it now in a campaign to overturn Obamacare. Yup, take away such an important law that is helping so many people.

I just have to believe that people are aware, that they are listening to the facts. For one, there is a large voting block of women that are standing up and listening. I believe, they have been a victim of "ratfucking" by the Repukes.

The only thing to do is GOTV 2014!

Excellent OP, freshwest. I thank you.
