The Democratic National Committee released a web ad on Tuesday morning that, playing off the "Party of No" meme, accuses the Republican party of a double standard when it comes to budgetary prudence.
The spot, titled "Party of Hypocrisy," accuses several high-profile Republican lawmakers of being silent or supportive as large deficits were run up during the Bush years, even as they proclaim themselves fiscal hawks today.
The video points out that House Minority Leader John Boehner "voted for Bush budgets totaling $9.8 trillion," while Minority Whip Eric Cantor voted for $12.1 trillion in Bush budgets.
I thnk that is a pretty accurate assessment of the GOP. Their leaders, Rush, Anne Coulter, Bachman, Palin, McCain, Noonan, etc are definitely hypocritical, to say the least. The GOP is the Party of Exclusion, of the Superstitious Right, of War and Torture, Warrantless Wiretaps, Election rigging, Corporate coddling, Debt and uncontrolled spending, etc.... AntiIntellectual, antiEnvironment.... hard to find anything good to say about them.... and all they do is deny and blame it on the Dems...
