No doubt there is plenty of hypocrisy from the politicians - and when my side engages in it I call them out on it. Case in point: I blasted the Bush administration (and later the Obama administration) over the Patriot Act. Our right wing crowd ridiculed me during the Bush years only to regularly cry about Obama's KGB-like spy tactics coming from that same law. (And that's almost every right winger on this board)
And what do you say to people on this board who spent 6 years waving their pom-poms for the Iraq intervention only to become pacifist, non-interventionists in Libya? My position on Middle East meddling has been consistent....because I don't allow cable news pundits to tell me how to think.
And what do you say to people who post unsubstantiated rumors from Breitbart.com only to call your Politifact check on it to be "liberal spin". Please...please....do me HUGE favor. If I ever try to state something as fact based upon something I read from Daily Kos - please call me out on it. I would really hate to kill my integrity like that.

Oh. Pardon me. I thought we could talk about the real world....Where your candidate was both a pom-pom waver for the Iraq war and was largely behind the military intervention in Libya. Or how your ilk can attack the Wall Street Bankers for years, but turn a blind eye toward your candidate's 'relationship' with them. Sure reeks of hypocrisy...but hey if this is just limited to specific people you've got an issue with and you're longing for the day's of yore when the Free For All was populated with Intelligent Consistent Conservatives with values, then by all means carry on with your rant. Who were those people anyway. I must have missed them. Mindbender?
