If you don't like being exposed as a hypocrite, I'd suggest you try to avoid engaging in hypocrisy.
Bob, if you criticize a republican for doing something...why isn't it a valid response if I point to an example of a democrat you support, who did something similar?
Why isn't it valid to expect that you hold both sides to a similar standard?
Labeling it "whatabout-ism", isn't refuting it.
I'm sure you have a very thoughtful, reasoned reply.
The lefties here wants to expel a republican who lied about his education and work experience. And I agree he should be kicked out. I agree 100%.
But none of you has any problem whatsoever, with a democrat in the US senate who lied for years about serving in the Vietnam War.
So it seems to me, you don't actually have a principle that "politicians should have to be honest". Rather, your principle is that republicans must always be criticized, and that democrats must never be criticized.
Try making that wrong.
