You know, I've been thinking for some time now that how in the heck did we, as a country, come to accept "cheating" as an OK thing? We're taught from an early age not to cheat and yet the Republicans have now agreed that cheating is fine. It is as basic as that.
I have to admit that, 65 years into this life and 30 years into right wing lies as Republican policy, my breath can still be taken away by the sheer audacity they show. Either they are severely mentally ill or they have to know that most of what they're saying isn't true. Or perhaps Orwell was right that the lies you tell to control others eventually take over your reality. In either case, I cannot, even with my fertile imagination, get inside those twisted heads enough to understand.
Or whether you allow one team to illicitly drag the goalposts to a position that favors their side.

I've wondered that myself, too, Annette.
Which is what the Republicans have been doing since Reagan. The тАЬcenterтАЭ is much further right than it once was.
that's the name of the game.
