The Republican Formula

These transcripts from Fox News (of all places) show perfectly the Republican Formula of Discourse.

Throughout the entire interview Elizabeth Dole uses bait and switches, outright lies, subject changes and in general, rudeness to control the interview. The host Chris Wallace actually even attempted to rein her in. Now here's the rub. Why does this work? Why can a candidate go on T.V. lie openly about established facts, stubornly obfuscate the discussion, mix fact with fiction, and just be a (to be clean)... downright rude guest? Why do voters still vote for these candidates?

Please have her "lift her face in the mirror" for her dirty lies. Then place a scarf in her mouth, to shut her up. Her lies are showing through. And for the final,
Please "return her to sender".

Thanks very much!
