About two hours ago, the Twitter certified official account of the House Democratic Caucus (@HouseDemocrats)started a new hashtag on Twitter, a shortcut search term used on the popular social networking site that allows a quick search of hot, trending topics of the day.
Democrats were attempting to manufacture myriad comments slamming Republicans.
The first post:
@HouseDemocrats: Scary exercise: What Would Republicans Do (#WWRD) w/a majority in Congress? Shed light on R policies: suggest your own!
Since that post they have been overrun with Tweets and GOP members of Congress answering the call (cut and post sampling of responses — you can follow the battle yourself HERE.), but not like they’d wished fail:
@alexashrugged Repeal and replace hugely unpopular health care #hcr #WWRD
@RepMikeCoffman #WWRD? Does your family make a budget every year? @HouseDemocrats just decided it was too hard to make one for USA in 2010.
