The RNC purchased another trending topic on Twitter tonight. You'd think they'd have learned last week that you can't control what people do with the #hashtag you promote.
This is literally the most recent page of responses on my Twitter when I choose "All." I have not removed any "No" responses:
@lenojames

Next I checked "Top Tweets" (my personal favorite is "#AreYouBetterOff No. Signed, Osama Bin Laden.") Notice how many of them are @GOP trying desperately to get people to play with their ball the right way:
@Ziggy_Daddy
Instead of asking #AreYouBetterOff?, voters should be asking: "What have #Republicans done in the last 4yrs to deserve the White House?"
@GregMitch
Ha: GOP launches #AreYouBetterOff hashtag, gets flooded with "Yes" responses. See some: http://bit.ly/...
@Reince
WOW. #DNC2012 opens with- "Government is the only thing that we all belong to”. #AreYouBetterOff
@4More
Taxes are the lowest in 60 years and spending is down .9% of GDP under Obama. Republicans hate these facts. Remind them. #AreYouBetterOff

@TeaPartyCat
#AreYouBetterOff than you were four years ago? If not, then we should try taking rights away from women and gays and see if that helps.
@4More
Four years ago, young people weren't allow to remain on their parents health insurance after college. #AreYouBetterOff? Yes. Unequivocally.
@4More
When Republicans ask #AreYouBetterOff they aren't COMPARING to when Obama took office. Funny. http://pic.twitter.com/...

#AreYouBetterOff than you were four years ago? It's hard to see how you could be with the stock market only up 5000 points.
