Democrats are incredible liars.
You have to be smart to be a good liar, and Democrats like to lie in a visionary sort of way. The founding visionary of the modern Democratic Party, Franklin Roosevelt, was one of its most artful and charming shavers of the truth. There were giants on the earth in those days. Lyndon Johnson's mendacities achieved an infuriating magnificence, like King Lear playing three-card monte on the heath. I think not.
