a mendacity of Republican operatives
(Sorry to be picking on Republicans. I've known many and respected quite
a few. But the Party has been slipping from bad to worse ever since the
Reagan crowd took over. There are still plenty of good Republicans
around, but there are also plenty of rascals using the Party as a means
to power, with no compunctions about making use of dishonest methods.)
