They of course know they have nearly half this country trained like so many Pavlov's dogs, which is why they know they can peddle turds that will survive well past any expiration date that could be attached to them. As of the last poll I saw on the matter, 63% of them still think we found wmd in Iraq, and some will no doubt be whining sometime down the line that BHO is/was guilty in the IRS case because of all those visits he recieved from the IRS head that Bush saw only once.
I think the hero to many of them, Rush Limbaugh best captured the essence of why their turds survive well past any expiration date the truth might prosecute.
The only real and substantial story to be told in the wake of their many and varied failed scandals is how stupid, gullible, and ultimately dishonest they are. It doesn't matter how deeply the truth does and should bury their turds, they all live on in the dark bowels of most rightwingers with more than a vestige of truth to them because of the "We know he thinks/did it!" as articulated by Limbaugh, and as is enshrined in the recent efforts of Issa.
There has been much speculation recently about their motives behind the separate scandals, like Benghazi being about HC in 2016, etc, all of which may be true as a potential consequence -- like the IRS scandal being a move towards tax reform. I doubt both of those examples, because Benghazi as already pretty much dead as an issue to the public, and tax reform is gonna require biting their monied masters in the ass if it has a prayer of being passed.
As long time self-inflicted victims of Murphy's and the Law and unintended CONsequences though, I don't see those things as being the focus of the turd-tossers so much as keeping the turds rolling lest the Pavlovian conditioning on the part of their minions erode. Imo all these turds are more about 2014 and creating the perception of vast and widespread corruption in the dem ranks that trickles down from the top. As already noted and as some may recall, the exit polls in 2006 showed corruption to the #1 reason why the repubs had their asses handed to them in that midterm. That's what those that "reward their friends and punish their enemies" do, no?
Another significant thing to consider in regards to 2014, is that the outcome of midterms is more dependent on the turnout of the dems than it is the energization of the repubs -- which this scandalmongering as the polls are showing, is successfully accomplishing for the scandalmongers. To erode the repub numbers in the house this time around, I think it's critical to dem turnout that BHO do two things that many in the dem base are "thinking" he's gonna do -- end all talk of the chained CPI for SS and kill the Keystone pipeline. A big push on immigration reform would be helpful as well, the legacy considerations of all these things notwithstanding.
After losing some seats their hate will still sell, but the bell will be attenuated somewhat as repubs move closer to political hell.
