They don't care!

Neither do any of these PURISTS care that historically speaking, their argument doesn't hold water, either. Look at that post about the governement/president shredding the Constitution having started 25 years ago, or in 1978 , forinstance. My GOD, 1978 ?

Uh, we aren't the "purists".

All we are asking is SOME principle. Especially when you win the arguments.

Again, Bush won the tax rate cut argument. Good for him. But what good is it when it's short term and expires in 2011. And don't give me the optimistic look into the future about "oh, the GOP will fix that later".

Like the Supreme Court was "guaranteed" to strike down the "ridculous attacks on free speech" in McCain-Feingold I was told WOULD HAPPEN by many here? I was told back then I was a "purist" for saying Bush was WRONG to sign the bill for political reasons.

Actions have consequences and nobody knows the future.
