Those who have and do speak the truth well in debate and legislate according to reason are rejected while the mediocre and repeatedly incorrect are elevated to greater power. For example, the saps, dupes and warmongers who voted for the Iraq Invasion under Bush all got big, giant jobs from Obama while the many sterling Democrats who voted against that abomination were passed over, sent packing, insulted, dismissed, disrespected for being right.
The problem is there are just too many on our side who don't really want to counter arguments from their fellows such as McCain. Carney knows how. He just does not care to do so.
