It's the GOP way

You can look it up, boys and girls, men and women, and those of you who aren't quite sure. There were no debates between Nixon and Humphrey in 1968. Richard Nixon was afraid of debates. He and his team knew that Nixon looked very bad on television, and that no amount of makeup would protect him from his own appearance after an hour under the glare of the bright lights. Nixon had been badly hurt by the debates in 1960 against Kennedy and he wanted no part of another set of debates. In 1960, Nixon was the vice-president to a popular president, Dwight David Eisenhower. It was unlikely that Ike's VP would lose to the upstart Senator from Massachusetts when the candidates had finally been nominated. Those debates were a turning point for many, as they showed the energetic, bright, quick, and above all, telegenic and cool young Senator in a stunning light. TV became a great ally to the Kennedy administration as a result of these debates, as they discovered just how well he worked a camera. At the same time, it became the enemy of Richard Nixon.

Arnold Schwarzenegger declared last night that watching the Nixon-Humphrey debates in 1968 made Arnold a Republican. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big f***ing liar. Excuse me for using that expression, but he is.

Well, lying has worked very well for the Party so far. Why not go with what works?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
