The Mask Slips Again

And Republicans accidentally tell the truth.  Today's supplicant?  New York Republican Rep. Peter King.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) told a radio show Thursday that the GOP should focus on its strategy of being against President Barack Obama's policies, but shouldn't give too many specifics on its own policies -- or those policies could be used against them.

GOP strategy should be "a combination of being against what Obama is for, and also giving certain specifics of what we are for," King told the Bill Bennett Radio Show. "Having said that, I don’t think we have to lay out a complete agenda, from top to bottom, because then we would have the national mainstream media jumping on every point trying to make that a campaign issue."
Hey that's awesome.  Peter King isn't even pretending anymore that the Republicans even have any ideas to fix the economy, just that they hate Obama and want you to hate him too.  Why lay out any specifics to help America when you can just call Obama a socialist or blow the racism dog whistle and win votes?  Oh no, if we lay out an agenda, the media might do their job and ask us questions about it!  We can't have that, right?

What makes anyone think the Republicans will do anything differently from the last time they were in charge?

Yes, they really all do think you are that stupid.
