Last year, the Obama campaign and its surrogates furiously accused Mitt Romney of “betting against America” through his financial portfolio, which included foreign holdings — including some in the Cayman Islands.

Dems (and the media's) response: "The election's over. We won. Get over it."

And.... to quote the Clinton's, "Can't we just get past this. It's time to move on."

But, but, but you mean that Democrats are hypocrites and liars?

Careful saying that too loud. You'll catch the same kind of flack I caught when I told some posters here that "reality" tv isn't real. You would have thought I told a group of preschoolers that Santa isn't real.

Low information voters can’t grasp the concept of hypocrisy.

Every time I read one of the articles, I am flabbergasted. Why would anyone think that political misbehaving children would be consistent in whom they sling mud at?
