I think one of the most discouraging things about this long running nightmare some are referring to as "the republican primary", is the constant daily barrage of the media calling the words coming out of the candidates mouths "gaffes". In fact, the actual "gaffes", are the rare moments of truth being uttered by these people. As if this avalanche of deceit, is not the real story of the process. Like repeating hammer blows to the head, is it supposed to eventually stop hurting? Are we witnessing a fundamental change to the nomenclature? Or is it to distract us from the reality that most of what they are spouting on the campaign trail, are not "gaffes", or "flubs" or "missteps" they are lies. Fibs, whoopers, hyperbole,.....Lies.
Thank god for Racheal Maddow.
