If anyone had any doubt that conservatives don't believe in the golden rule, all one has to do is look at the continual whining from conservatives that the Democrats are treating them (gasp!) like Republicans used to treat Democrats.
Consider the following gem of a statement from the House Minority Leader.
"What we really expect out of the Democrats is for them to treat us as they would have liked to have been treated,” the Kansas City Star reported.
Like they would have liked to have been treated?????
The Wall Street Journal piled on saying Democrats "deserve full marks for paying attention while in the minority, because it's clear Democrats learned a few things from Tom DeLay--to wit, how to rush through legislation without any minority participation or public debate."
Gee, I guess after years of GOP rule in the House & Senate that put the country in precarious financial and security standing it must be surprising that the Democrats aren't rushing to get Republicans involved in the process.
David Ignatius of the Washington Post noted that "Now that the Democrats have taken control of Congress, President Bush has decided it's time for fiscal discipline and a balanced budget. That's shameless, even by local standards. Who does Bush think was in power when the big deficits of the past six years were created?"
Think about it, who would let someone drive a car after a series of accidents or who would ask that driver for directions or help driving? It's time to let the GOP wise up and pay for the consequences of their rule.
