When Republicans do something, it’s bad. When Democrats do the very same thing, it becomes good. That’s true of everything else, so why not this?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday sought to rally opposition to the $1.1 trillion government funding bill, spearheading a revolt on the left that has put her influence in the Democratic Party to the test.
The Massachusetts liberal pleaded for House Democrats to withhold support for a government funding package due to a provision she said would change the Dodd-Frank financial reform law to let “Wall Street gamble with taxpayer money…”
Weird. I thought her people were in favor of gambling? They’ve got casinos all over the place.
Still, it’s unclear whether the opposition from Warren, Frank and others will persuade House Democrats to risk a government shutdown by voting against the bill.
I hope they don’t chicken out just because it would make them look like huge hypocrites. That’s the whole point of politics, isn’t it? Say one thing, do another. Criticize something when your opponent does it, then do the same thing and concoct some lame-brained excuse. Dumb down everything for the low-info or no-info voter. It’s all part of the job.
Shut it down, Fauxcahontas. Shut it all down. Remind us all how little we really need you.
