Exhibit A: Hypocrisy in Politics

[Triipe]

Claire Mccaskill - Missouri
Here she is in her own words, describing the shortcomings of the democratic party.
"I think my party...*our* party has been too fixated on Identity Politics, and Cultural Politics"

and then we have this... "gem" from Sept 2006

Mrs. McCaskill, the state auditor, is attempting to link Republican Sen. Jim Talent with the president as she tries to unseat the incumbent.

“George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black,” she told a group of Democratic state legislators last week.

The comments, made as she outlined Mr. Talent’s efforts to attract minority voters, were first reported by Pub Def Weekly, a St. Louis-based blog.
Under fire, Democrat retreats

So this chickadee has no ability to run on her own merit, and was only able to get her 6 yrs in office because of emotional manipulation and appeal to identity.


I say that to say this, fukk the politicians that win by demonizing their opposition. They often don't have progressive ideas to enact. Say what you're about and how your plan of action will improve the lives of constituents.

The democrats who won this current election should be under no illusions about their chances once the president is removed.

I would hope the democrats have learned something from this election. Paul Ryan just retired. That’s the kind of control the republicans have.

Politicians gonna politicize. It’s literally in their title.

both sides have become shockingly hypocritical and partisan. dems are a little better, for the sole reason they dont call themselves 'the party of family values'

She was absolutely right about Bush, she was not demonizing her opponent, she was telling the truth.
