The Republicans have committed acts that in most countries never would be tolerated. If the various acts of fraud, thuggery, insider trading, stolen elections, coercion and perhaps murder became known and accepted as fact the fragile thread of civility would be gone in America forever. When historical incidents such as the coup attempt against FDR become public it is either swept away or ridiculed. Any suspicion is quickly labeled conspiracy theorist a sure way to end an investigation. If actually known there are acts that are intolerable. We cannot handle the truth. Romney is the perfect candidate for this environment a total long term serial liar with a rather sinister hidden agenda of who knows what?
