While we give credit where due, one has to realize and accept that had the GOP performed such interventions and corrective actions prior to the 2012 election year, these bigots may have avoided public exposure.  The GOP has ignored manifestation of similar (or worse) acts since President Obama took Office in 2009.  The Party is working today to put-forth a face of decency comparable to Romney's Campaign attempting to remake their candidate for effect. The Party is doing same!  

The American people have to realize, these measures are uncharacteristic  outside the norm for the Party and election year fakery.
