Exactly. The GOP has mastered the art of ignoring the plank in their own eye while complaining about the speck in the Democratic party's eye - nothing they do is ever so bad it can't be hand-waved away with a reference to some random Democrat who has exactly zero to do with the topic at hand

Good. Happened in NC also. Sure the Dems have done it also but lack a specific case.

There should be a law against hamstringing incoming administrations in lame duck sessions.

BY EITHER PARTY.

I didn't even click on the "article". I never said a single thing about the article being inaccurate. I made a comment that I was thankful that midwestern democrats were all honest and respectable politicians. I then hashtagged a great example. then, you lost your mind.

They tried this in NC too and the GOP got their butts handed to them by the courts. They tried once again thru a amendment and the people once again handed the GOP a staggering loss. When will these idiots learn.

Good to know you are the type of person who will whine about an article without reading it.

North Carolina is still attempting to clear up the mess the legislature created, Michigan did the same. They don't like losing elections and make sure they leave a poison pill, these are the congressmen that are supposedly representing the people.

Instead of commenting on the article which was the point of the thread, one post in your deflecting. GO start your own thread if you have such interest.
