For example, in the senate of one state, I forget which one off-hand (the trouble with being on a Navy ship is that you can only catch bits and pieces before you gotta get back to work), their Republican Senators had previously made more than a couple requests for Stimulus Money... and then they turn around and start sniping at our President for throwing away good money on the Stimulus package.
They're the same guys they've always been, with the same priorities they've always had. Hypocrisy aside, why the fuss?
Maybe there was a bit more to it? I couldn't tell for sure. I'm still taking it with a grain of salt myself since it was the Rachel Maddow show - and ever since my experiences with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and Sean Hannity I take all political pundits at least somewhat lightly.
But anyhow, that's just the thing - it never changes. And I'm not simply rooting for one side, here. Decades ago, Nixon resigned from his office as POTUS... and all charges against him were pretty much dropped. Really, he still could have done time for what he was responsible for because the fact remained that he did something very much illegal. And now, closer to the present, Clinton did something that, while not strictly illegal, was highly questionable from a moral standpoint, especially so for a man in his position. And then he tried to get out of it, which was where he really went wrong from a legal standpoint. And in the end he gets out of it with a slap on the wrists. *Rolls eyes*
It's why I consider myself an Independent these days. Just remember, Democrats can piss me off, too. *Gives the hairy eyeball to the muddle over Health Care Reform*
