Why not stick to current dishonesty? Its far more relevant to us NOW and the GOP is working very hard to corner the market on sleeze and doing a great job with it.

With Republican candidates distancing themselves in DROVES from the leader of their party, it would seem there really isn't much of an argument. One simply CANNOT read a weeks worth of headlines in the past several months to a year, without encountering another Republican scandal. eg,: FDA: Conflict of interest, Lobbyists buying favors, Congressmen indicted & resigning (multiples), Candidates being disavowed by their National & State organizations.

Here's a recent one from Florida. The candidate is a Republican who voted to impeach Clinton, yet he is linking himself to Bill's popularity and calling himself an 'independent". Deceptive? At a minimum. Dishonest? The guy NEVER identifies himself as a Republican. I wonder why? www.clayshaw.com/index=videos.htm
