Both sides play ALL games...
But the Left has a knack for making it sound like it's NOT them...
Culture of corruption?...
Republican Duke Cunningham resigns from office in disgrace...
Democrat William Jefferson is still in office and actually was thrown off one committee only to get a seat on another one by the Democratc Congresssional leadership...
Earmarks?...
The "Road to Nowhere" is the most popular term because of an Alaskan Republican but the media doesn't seem to notice the Pennsylvanian Democrat who has received over $2 billion in earmarks...some to a company that doesn't exist...
Sex scandals?...
Spitzer gets the headline with nary a mention of his Democratic status in the articles whereas Larry Craig, someone who, unlike Spitzer, used no fraudulant financial transfers for his actions, gets the big "GOP" front and center as a reminder to the public who they want the "bad guys" to be...
Religious approval from haters?...
John McCain gets calls to denounce a guy with whom he's never even been to his church because he said something about Catholics, but Snob-ama...to this day...doesn't have to do the same...only say his pastor "said some bad things but overall he's a nice guy" and the response is "Oh...OK"...
I will agree until I am blue in the face that both sides are either exactly alike or close enough to where the margin of error is insignificant...
The TREATMENT of their actions are so one sided it makes me want to puke...
And the point of mine you've called valid is just another example...
When the Liberals want something done and the majority agrees, they say "Look!...the MAJORITY wants it so it MUST be done."...
But if this initiative passes with a MAJORITY, the vary same people will say "F*CK the majority...Do what's right!!"...
