A thousand pardons
I've already put in 45 hours this week and am a little tired. Post corrected.

Looking up the issue further I did see the house was considering changing it's rules to help Delay.
This is definately hypocracy.

Thank you. I appreciate your candidness - and I'm not being an ass here - it really is refreshing to see a conservative who is willing to say when their party screws up.

The elections over btw...the flip-flop label stuck and looks to have worked. You didn't like it then...so don't use it know. Because that is also hypocracy.

How? The republicans spent over a year saying that flip flopping is bad. It didn't suddenly become OK because the election is over. They should be held to what they said during the election, and that's what I'm doing by posting this.

Not quite. The government would have to find a grand jury willing to indict the ham sandwich. They might find one lunatic who would go along with it, but finding a whole grand jury would be a bit more difficult.
Finding a grand jury to indict someone because there appears to be enough evidence for a trial, however, is a bit easier.

Should we have said the same thing about the incessant Clinton persecutions?
Look, whether it's a hit job or not, the republicans made a rule. They made it specifically to say "look here. We're more ethical then the democrats. See? We have this rule to prove it."
But now, as soon as it seems they might actually be effected by this rule, they get rid of it.
They want (and frankly are getting) their cake and eat it too.
