Well, it was OK with the Dems when Kerry did it. So I guess it's now OK with the Repubs when Trump does it. Or . . . OK with some of the Repubs--they're not as unified as the Dems are.

Seems like that's the eternal and actual flip-flop. When the flip of party in power happens, get ready for the flop.

The Parties suck..... I was never in the Democratic camp. I have leaned towards the Republican right, and was brought up in a Republican household. BUT this edition of the Republican party (as well as many of the recent past) in no way reflects anything I can identify or associate myself with as supporting. It is all about winning. Not working. Together. For the good of the country. Which is what I believe they are supposed to do. Instead, they are ALL held accountable to a party line that, if they cross, will end up penalizing them, personally and financially, as well as those who they represent.... Political parties are not supposed to win. The populace is supposed to win..... The country needs to impose congressional term limits and blow up the party system.

Maybe this rant should have gone in another thread, but there it is.

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
