A Word About Party Loyalty

I get a lot of flack from Republicans with regard to the illegal spying scandal that "you Democrats are so interested in the rule of law now, but weren't concerned about perjury in the 1990s."

Know your history. Might I remind everyone that the most liberal interest group around, moveon.org, started with a campaign to censure a sitting Democratic President? They judged, along with the vast majority of America, that lying about a blow job didn't rise to the level of impeachment. But they did favor censure, which is about as grave as you can get short of impeachment. MoveOn is short for "Censure and MoveOn."

The Republican apologists, on the other hand, refuse to admit that their President did anything wrong, refuse to ask that he stop doing the illegal actions to which he has admitted, and claim afterwards that the DEMOCRATS are the ones being hypocrites. OK, whatever.
