The republican way is take a small amount (or none) of truth..make something up, keep saying it and it becomes accepted as truth.
Look at what Birtherism did..it spawned a new whole faction of republicans, TEA party, and prevented a President from doing his job for 8 years..just asked the question and kept saying it. That's all he had to do.
There is something about the republican brain that allows them to believe the most absurd; yet deny factual. Suspecting, suspicious..help me here..I'm trying to dial this thought in..to believe the most outlandish, but not truth that appears before you. How can you not believe something in front of you, yet believe what is not in front of you? Must be the Jesus thing.
It's mind boggling.
