That hypocrisy is astounding.

How about the Bush campaign in 2000 during the recount protesting the idea of counting hanging chads and pregnant chads as something evil and characterizing it as attempts by the Gore campaign to "steal" the election. However, then Governor George W. Bush had signed into law election rules in Texas that said that hanging chads and pregnant chads should be counted as legitimate indications of a voter's intent.

How does one reconcile those two actions?

What about the fact that Republicans are now trying to preach fiscal responsibility after the three most recent Republican administrations never came close to balancing a budget. Prior to the Obama administration, over the last 28 years, we had 20 years of Republican administrations and eight years of a Democratic administration. The only administration that balanced a budget was the Democratic administration. Republican party insiders and elected officials never called out the Presidents from their own party for their deficit-exploding budgets.

Why do Republicans think they can keep getting away with this?
