Four years under The Idiot destroyed any assertion that conservatives are trying to be reasonable. It's all just a word game to these people. And they think it's all anyone's doing, because they think that's all there is.
The most damning evidence for this is when right-wing bastards of the highest order get booted out for not playing the game. Mitt Romney was the fucker who wanted to "double Guantanamo." He's also now called a RINO, and he's running away with his tail between his legs, because he acted like we kept fucking imagining "real Republicans" were supposed to. He asked what happened to all the talking points he ran on... because he believed that garbage. Nah, Mittens: it was ad-hoc justifications then, and it's ad-hoc justifications now. (And he still voted to absolve The Idiot on most counts, the useless bastard.)
