There are ads from people saying they will make work requirements on welfare, something “that has never existed”. Others will “stop the federal money being used for abortions” — which is something that doesn’t exist. Another republican candidate is being clobbered (by both sides) for daring to suggest some sort of tax increase is needed to fix our roads.

There are losers for both parties running for various offices using the “you don’t need any experience at all to serve in government”: probably true, but as the president and all the tea baggers who are serving show, no experience means you do a crappy job.
