Except that by getting caught they are no long in the category of being better at getting away with it.

The examples I read JWBear as using are the wiretapping, lying to get us into war, torture, disenfranchisement of minorities and the poor, etc.

But that runs into the issue I mentioned earlier of assuming that which is being debated. The problem is that for the opposition those things didn't happen or aren't bad in the way JWBear's side views it as bad.

I would agree with a statement that Republicans have been better at accomplishing their agenda on large issues than Democrats over the last 30 years. Whether those agendas is evil will be in the eye of the beholder.
