Sam Sacks, Progressive Strategist joins Thom Hartmann. The Republican party loves to start conspiracy theories in attempts to sway American voters. Why do they resort to these tactics - and do they really think they're fooling anyone?

Thom looks at the impact the Citizens United decision had on the Alabama and Mississippi primaries. Also discussed: Sarah Palin's bad week, the ever increasing rise in the cost of college and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom talks about why Republicans need to start acting like Ronald Reagan to save the economy.

Our economy desperately needs Republicans to put politics aside - and work with President Obama and Democrats to pass a common-sense economic stimulus to put millions of Americans back to work. That doesn't mean Republicans have to act like "socialists" - or spend money like drunken sailors. All it means is that Republicans have to act like Reagan - and show the same respect to the office of the Presidency that Democrats gave Reagan thirty years ago. In other words - they should start acting like the "Party of Reagan" that they claim to be - instead of acting like the "Party of Crashing the Economy to Make Obama a One-Term President."

The Good! *The American Public* Even though Congressional Republicans are attacking President Obama over high gas prices - it appears the American public can see right through the lies. The Bad! *Representative Cliff Stearns* In a meeting with constituents in Florida last month - Stearns told the audience that America needs to sell off it's national parks. And the Very Very Ugly! *Grover Norquist* In an interview on the Daily Show last night - Jon Stewart asked Norquist if President Reagan should be scorned for raising taxes during his presidency.
