Do Republicans have an authenticity problem?

-Mitt Romney was a hunter
-Clarence Thomas pulled himself up his own bootstraps with some help from sympathetic nuns
-George Walker Bush was just a regular guy who went to Kincaid High School in Midland, Texas
-Joni Erst and her schoolmates were so poor they wore bread bags outside their boots in lieu of goloshes

If the Republicans don't have an authenticity problem, they ought to. One would think that the raging right-wing white males (and white females) that vote for them ought to stop, look around, and take note as to whether they've been lied to, how often, and by whom.

I used to think that was part of the wisdom of experience and old age, being able to spot liars and lying. Of course I remember my own father frequently commenting that "There's no fool like an old fool."
