6. Sometimes it's a lie, sometimes it's ignorance...
...but it is always self-serving.

When they lie, they do so on purpose. Not only for their own direct benefit in an argument, but in order to keep political debate muddied. That way it is hard for opponents to cut through to the truth of the matter -- because the truth has been obscured.

It is one of their tactics. It has served them very well, and continues to do so.
