that's why what McCain said bugged me so much.

He said a lot of things I agree with, but there was a TON of false equivalency in his talking points... he acts like both parties have acted equally bad, but anyone that actually has a memory, or even a desire to be relatively informed, can go back and see how the democrats went about passing Obamacare and compare that to the GOP's process to this point.

That are not comparable at all... not in the slightest.

They flaunt the facts because their base are too lazy, either literally or intellectually or both, to actually read up on the facts... Its this misrepresentation of facts that is really troubling to me.
