What the HECK is the "Progressive Conservative PAC"??? on Facebook?
Another mindless way of attacking Obama and the "liberal left"...

I don't know if it's worth investigating, but it looks very much like stuff we see from the Tea Bag folks, only aiming bit more towards fact-based... well, except for the real facts which they conveniently leave out or make up...like THIS..


"
If the "Bush Tax Cuts" (i.e., 2003 cuts) are allowed to expire at end of December, the tax rate for the lowest tier of taxpayers will be raised
50%, costing 88 million taxpayers an
average increase of $503 next year. Another 31
million taxpaying families will lose half of their child care credits,
and 35 million married couples will pay
an average of $595 for the renewed "marriage penalty."

Where do they come up with all THAT??

Maybe it needs a little DU member "love" in the form of posts to contradict their set of "facts"

6. The re-branding of old lies does nothing to change the lies...
They are still lies... with a new label.

New and improved! Now smoother, AND chunkier! With a full day's supply of fertilizer!

7. I see some Facebook people have already commented on the BS of that
group.

It looks like it's one person who keeps posting anti-Democratic Party posts.
When some people responded negatively to the site, s/he replied with more bullsh*t.

9. It's not just a "these days" thing
One of the main political parties in Canada for sixty-one years was the Progressive-Conservative Party.

Political mergers can lead in weird directions sometmies.
