The Republicans and their media friends are in counterattack mode. They’ve been stinking up the place during their decade-plus in power, so it stands to reason that Democratic ethics will be one of their major themes. ‘The Democrats are no better than we are’ has been their song for most of that time.
Lots of Democrats do have ethics problems, but that’s not why we’re hearing about them so much. A lot of the Republican stooges are better wreckers than builders (Limbaugh as much as confessed to that), and the wrecking is underway.
Some Republican voters and many independent voters are disillusioned with the Republicans, but the Republican core is as energetic and vicious as ever, and the media are zombified. So it’s still all up to us
