what a speech writer for Both Bushs and a member of Reagan's White Hose said in the WSJ:
"When prominent figures in a party play footsie with peddlers of paranoia, the party suffers an erosion of credibility. While certain corners of a partys base might be energized by conspiracy theories, the majority of the electorate will be turned off by them. People are generally uneasy about political institutions that give a home to cranks."

So that's a lie? Because he's a Republican?
How many more things like that would you like to see? There's thousands. Not everything that's coming out of every Republican's mouth all the time is a lie.
Believing it is, in fact, makes you like the very people you so distrust: an ideologue.
A (D) next to someone's name doesn't make them trust worthy and an (R) doesn't make them a liar.
