POLITICS - Framing Lies and Anti-Self-Interest

"8 years: Clinton added 22.7 million jobs …" Under the Mountain Bunker & Coffee Shop 8/24/2010

Excerpt

Clinton added 22.7 million jobs in 8 years. Bush cut taxes and only added 1.1 million jobs in 8 years. The GOP is framing the ‘phasing out’ of Bush’s tax cuts (for the rich) as a tax increase — counting on their Base to not self-educate or investigate beyond the Fox News sound bites, knowing that will ensure they’ll vote against their own self-interests one more time.
