And the Reagan Administration was infected with the “Sleaze Factor.” LOL! Maybe Ryan, Rubio, Boehner, Cantor. McConnell,McCain, Graham could resurrect the term here? Oh wait. Then we would have an opposition.

If the gop had any nads left they would bomb the airwaves with ads pinning all of the blame where it is deserved and demand those that scream and complain... to demand the release of ALL of the information and force all involved to testify under oath in every scandal. We could destroy the left if only we had strong moral leadership in the gop. There are no moral leaders in any positions of leadership within the gop. To see who is righteous in the gop... just look to who it is in the party leadership is attacking within the party.

My favorite: 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
I'm thinking they've got about 1.80 control of the two.

They’re not “buying” it, they’re selling it.

Here’s how it works.
Americans are basically stupid and lazy, BUT they think of themselves as intelligent and capable.
The propaganda ministry simply devises a two or three word catchphrase (like “phony scandal”) and shotguns it out via pressers, presidential remarks and comments by the usual prominent party figures. This magic phrase will immediately give the rank and file a nice, prepackaged retort with which they can successfully deflect any criticism of the guy they supported. Any and all arguments, no matter how well-reasoned and fact-based, can then be dismissed by uttering the catchphrase. No investigation of facts or construction of counter-arguments needs to take place.

If Obama told reporters the moon was made of frozen cat piss the The New York Times would believe him.

Nicely done.
Now, ALL "debate" from liberals and Dems will begin and end armed with the simplest Nuclear Talking Point ever devised: "BAH! PHONY SCANDAL!!" Best of all, it'll work today, tomorrow, by the water cooler, at the dinner table, on bumper stickers, T-shirts, placards, TV shows, and "editorials." It's another, "It's the Economy Stupid!" MSM soundbyte.

Boehner already officially confirmed through the MSM, Carney, and 0'Gangsta that it winds up that ALL the scandals were "phoney!" All 99 of them.
Now put on your red, green and white ribbon along with Boehner and Cantor and McCain, and start marching for Immigration Reform, you racist homophobic, xenophobic Tea-Bagger.

Are media buying into phony scandal claim? The phrase "buying into" would imply that the media has some degree of independent thought, which of course they do not. The media simply does what the Dems tell them to do... and they are quite loyal and eager to please.

stupid question
the MSM always follow orders
