IOKIYAR

It's OK if you're a Republican.

It's OK to loot the treasury, lie us into war, flout the Geneva Conventions, enable war profiteers, botch war planning, undersupply troops, manipulate elections, flood the media with covert propaganda, let a porn hustler pretend to be a White House correspondent, promote incompetents, give them medals, out a CIA agent, destroy opponents with lies and slander, and undermine civil liberties and constitutional checks and balances at every opportunity. Most recently, we learn, it's OK to impersonate a Secret Service agent and throw people out of taxpayer-funded public events because of their bumper stickers.

What will our Democratic leaders do about this latest outrage? Don't worry, they're all over it. Why, the three Democrats in Colorado's congressional delegation have issued chiding public statements!

Says an observer:

Face it, folks, your representatives are cowards. A couple of testy letters isn't going to get the job done. There is a REASON why it isn't okay if you're a Democrat. It's because Republicans act like it isn't okay.

If the shoe was on the other foot, Republicans would be making a big deal about this. Democrats won't. They suck.

Democratic leaders will forget about this. Like they forgot when Tom DeLay illegally used the DHS to track down the Texas Democrats.

Like they forgot about Republicans hacking into their electronic files.

Like they forgot about Republicans calling the Capitol Police to arrest them.

Like they forgot about James "Bulldog" Guckert.

Like they forgot about Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Like they are forgetting about the Ohio coin scandal.

Like they forgot about Plame for two years.

Like they forgot about the forged Niger documents.

Like they forgot about the forged TANG memos.

Like they forgot about Bush unconstitutionally diverting hundreds of millions of dollars from Afghanistan to Iraq.

Like they forgot about Paul Bremer "losing" $8 billion.

Like they forgot about the GOP paying Ahmed Chalabi to provde bogus intelligence and leak secrets to Iran.

Like they forgot about Condoleeza Rice blowing the cover of a Pakistani-Al Qaeda double agent.

Like they forgot about about the WH lying to Congress about the costs of the prescription Medicare bill.

How many times does the GOP have to walk all over Democrats before they give a crap?

We have no answer to that question. And that's why IOKIYAR.
