When the Repubs were popular...
...they claimed moral and ethical superiority while their radio/TV talkingheads backed this foolish belief and their sheepish followers played along.

Now, with the Repubs in serious trouble, the hue and cry from the RW is, "Well...uh...ya know...both sides are corrupt".

They have no shame.

1. Ah yes...I reminisce about those days....
Watching The Washington Journal every morning, tearing a little more of my hair out, watching the morning news, raising my blood pressure....coming to DU to rage with others, arguing with neighbors, having screaming matches with family members.....Ah, the good ole' days.

5. Both sides do it
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 05:59 PM by mac2
When I reminded a sibling that her company CEOs are stealing her pension (instead give themselves lifetime ones with options in the millions) not having paid into it for ten years...she said, they all do it.

What!!!

How many families, friends, and marriages have been broken up since they came to power? Worse yet...dead parents of young children. Not to mention parents who counted on their children being there for them in old age. Instead they bury them.
