both parties are equally guilty of distorting the truth to their favor

Once again, we disagree. I don't think that Democrats have distorted reality to anywhere even close to how Republicans have since the beginning of the Reagan administration.

That isn't the same as saying that they have distorted truth at all. Or that they haven't been even more guilty in earlier times. One of the bigger distortions came in 1896--Plessey v. Ferguson. Democrats exploited that lie for all it was worth for decades. Until the charade was finally ended in the LBJ administration. But since 1981, the Republicans win the distortion game by far.
