Rules are different when applied *FOR* Democrats.
You see -
Democrats are allowed to be disparaging with homophobia - see Larry Craig. This is not allowed for Barney Frank.
Democrats are allowed to use charges of impropriety against Republicans as evidence, see Tom Delay. This is not allowed for William Jefferson freezing cash.
Democrats are allowed to use negative sex stories, see the recent NY Times attack on John McCain. This is not allowed for Bill Clinton’s affairs.
Democrats are allowed to attack people based on religion, see the anti-Mormon rhetoric used against Mitt Romney. This is not allowed for Barack Obama’s Islamic ties.
Democrats are allowed to investigate endlessly claims by Valerie Plame. This is not allowed against Sandy Burger.
Democrats like Bill Clinton are allowed to fire any lawyers they wish when they win the Presidency. This is not allowed for eight Democrat lawyers when George W Bush wins the Presidency.
Democrats are allowed to have their justices confirmed, and Senatorial decorum extended to the executive’s choices despite ideological differences. This is not allowed for Republican nominees, in which advice and consent is now stressed.
It goes on and on...
They were 8 Republican U.S. Attorneys who Bush appointed and then fired.
