Partei über Alles

The party over all else - that is what it means to be a Republican in 2005.

Of course we knew this was their modus operandi: Tom DeLay, Grover Norquist (with the K Street Project), and others devised the scheme that was envisioned by Newtie. They've implemented it using campaign contributions, many illegal, and enforced it with threats of support for rival candidates and bribes on the floor of the House. During a vote. A vote that was extended long past tradition. A vote for a program which the White House threatened the Administrator with firing if he told the truth about the real costs.

Is it still possible no one has been investigated for that crime? Yep.

But that leads to a question: why aren't Republicans demanding accountability and personal responsibility for the obvious failures and crimes committed by this administration? They voted to kill an independent bipartisan commission to look at the failure that led to New Orleans' drowning.

They don't want accountability. They don't want responsibility. Those are vague ideas that they use during elections, or when the other party is in power, to pretend that they care.

If you want to let Wayne Allard know what a joke he is, you can do it here.

Once again the reality is exposed. Rules for thee but not for me. Do as I say, not as I do.

And the final question once again has to be asked: when will the general public realize that all the Republican talking points are a ruse to get votes, a distraction from their own failures, and a betrayal of the oaths they all take to protect and defend our republic?

We have 3 more years to find out. Until then, buckle up everyone.
