It won’t bother them a bit, the ‘rats are immune to charges of hypocrisy. They don’t care about rules, as long as they win.
That's true, and the GOP used to be the party of merit, responsibility and integrity. Since the Republicans abandoned those principles, why should the Dems fear any backlash? They just lie as long as it is necessary. Remember pay-as-you-go? More bullshit they didn't believe in but the press gave them a pass on. The GOP has to get it's act together and exorcize the legacy of Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley, and the big spenders in their ranks.
