Everyone in their lifetimes (Individuals or Groups) will find themselves guilty of hypocrisy at one time or another. However, Conservative Republican Hypocrisy is rising to the level of Zen Master status. Would Paul Ryan have said the "President is new at this" if Barrack Obama had asked Robert Muller in 2009 that he hoped he would drop an investigation of Joe Schmo? I do not think so. Would Republican Senators not erupt like Claire McCaskill did last week when she protested that the Senate would not have hearings over its version of Health Care Reform. I think not. In fact, it should be remembered that there were over 100 hearings and numerous amendments offered when the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was considered. If Republicans feel their plan is so much better than what the Democrats passed in 2010, why are they afraid to publicly air it out through the congressional hearing process? This is not how good and competent government is supposed to function. This is not how the people are best served.
