How the GOP gets away with it

It's pretty simple: They repeat the same thing over and over until everyone gets tired of correcting them

AP/Salon
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Has the Republican Party gone completely off into Cloud-Cuckoo-Land, or have its leading spokesmen simply decided to mimic the party's entertainment wing: trusting its loyal audience to believe even the most brazen falsehoods, and, equally important, to remember nothing?

Does unwillingness to engage reality signal an acceptance of minority status, or merely disdain for the GOP base?

After all, you can trick a cow with an empty feed bucket once or twice. By the third try, it won't even look at you.
