Like the Nazis & the Soviets, for the Cons it's all about the propaganda.
Corruption and incompetence is inherent in their ideologies because they are not reality based.

Because they built propaganda machines that (they thought) could cover for any corruption or incompetence on their part, their corruption and incompetence could only grow worse, as long as their propaganda machines were intact.

Their propaganda machines are their greatest strength, and their greatest weakness.

They are not part of the reality based community.

They squash feedback.

They walk off a ledge, thinking it's the most brilliant move they could make.

In their make believe world everything that happens is a brilliant victory for them, and a tragic blunder for their opponents.

In their make believe world they have all positive personal characteristics, and their opponents have all negative personal characteristics.

In their make believe world they can get away with lying about anything, and never get caught in a lie.

This is how propaganda works.

Ideas themselves mean nothing.

The behavioral conditioning of "us all positive/them all negative" is everything.

It works on the emotions, and on the subconscious.

Example: If a rude noise is sounded whenever a friend's name is mentioned, eventually you will wince whenever you hear that friend's name.

If the behavioral conditioning is strong enough, you will reject that friend, without really knowing why.

They lie and say "We just do what they do", but there is no main stream equivalent to the extremity of lies, insults, and misrepresentations that make up the whole of their propaganda.

On our websites we expose actual lies told by them.

On their websites all they can do is say we don't cover their talking points enough.

Don't let them trip you out.

Their propaganda has no reality.

Their propaganda will be their undoing.

1. The Fatal Flaw--They Believe Their Own Propaganda
That is most certainly why Scooter tried to lie his way out.

To catch a Rove, or a Cheney, though, is going to take some heavy facts.

As for Dubya, pull the props out from under him and then ship his sorry ass off to the Hague.

Why Fitz didn't have fried Rice for lunch, though, that's something I wonder about. He can't let her get away. She's too dangerous, like a loose cannon.

2. If they can get away with lying on the right wing radio, then why not with
a grand jury?

Believing their own propaganda has made idiots of them.
