Rachel Maddow's Salient Truth Problem

Peircelets: We are, doubtless, in the main logical animals, but we are not perfectly so: "We are, doubtless, in the main logical animals, but we are not perfectly so"

Rachel Maddow is quite correct to note that the GOP proceeds on false reasoning. If the premise or premiss (Peirce) is not true - as many propositions GOP Presidential candidates agree upon - then any conclusions will be untrue, regardless of their political appeal. The media should be doing this homework. I notice that the NYT actually did have an inside story on GOP falsehood. Most probably, the GOP's addiction to untruth relates to the fact that President Obama has offered them a bill filled with things the GOP has advocated in the past. They should by all rights be supporting the President and the clear majority of voters throughout the land. A visit to Maplight.com to peruse their contributions will show why they do not.
