Hypocrisy of the Politicians

I almost fall over laughing listening to Democrats complaining about the obstructionist Republicans and how Obama should just use Executive action.  Especially from Democrats like Tammy Baldwin and our own Wisconsin contingent in Washington DC.

I seem to remember real clear about a group of Wisconsin State Senators who were very much obstructionist.  So much so that they fled the state of Wisconsin to try and obstruct the passing of legislation.  They were going to do anything to keep legislation that the Governor was pushing from getting passed.

They also cried foul that it wasn't done fairly because they were trying to go around the Legislature by pushing it through while they hid out in Illinois.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot and in Washington they are all for it.

That is the problem with all of these Politician idiots.  When they benefit from cheating and skirting the rules then everything is all good and the proper way to do things.  When it works against them they are upset and want things changed.  If everyone put the politics aside and just made people follow the law and the procedures that have been in place from day one we wouldn't have these issues.

Yes, there would be times when we have obstructionism by one party or the other, but that is how it was meant to be.  It was meant to keep any one chamber of legislature or the government from having too much power.  Harry Reid and the Democrats hailed the changing of Senate Rules while it is benefitting them and their President, but will not be happy when it works against them.  They will complain and be unhappy.  The left is thrilled when President Obama rewrites laws and changes them via the executive action, but will be unhappy when a Republican President does it.

Democrats in Wisconsin we we thrilled when the National Party and the National Unions jumped in with people and money to fight Walker during the recalls.  Now are unhappy when National Party and National help jumps in to help Walker win reelection.

If it isn't right, then it isn't right for either side, you can't have it both ways.
