Up-voted. It's because they are accustomed -- via their bought and paid for media outlets -- to successfully lying to at least 80% of their voters at least 80% of the time . . . no matter what. This makes them both arrogant and intellectually lazy to the extend that they are no longer even putting any effort into their lying. They KNOW that their average voter is just . . . that . . . stupid.
I think this is the safest place to say this - If the Right wanted to what the Left accuses of doing it, we'd would've done it years ago and nobody, especially the Left would be able to stop us.
