Who holds Ted Cruz and Rand Paul to a higher standard? Certainly not the Tea Party or other Republicans. And Cruz has proven definitively by his little stunt back in October that somebody should be.
The US Constitution.
It should say, what holds. Unless you think the US Constitution chains "We The People", not the Government.
In politics, why is it that liberals/Democrats hold conservatives/Republicans to such high standards, standards that are clearly higher than the ones they hold for themselves?
This just seems to be a recurring theme among liberals, and this Chris Christie non-issue is the latest example. Republicans are supposed to be perfect, yet Democrats are more than willing to let other Democrat's slide.
You might disagree with GOP policy, but Republicans hold other Republicans to much higher standards as evidenced by the Tea Party. Yeh, you might not like the Tea Party, but at least there's some accountability required for establishment republicans.
Another good example is George W. Bush's approval rating. He had close to 25% toward the end of his term as even Republicans abandoned the ship, but Obama enjoys a floor of 40% and nothing will ever change that.
Lets see here Christie finds a problem, he fires the people the next day
Obama has fast and furious ...no one fired Americans died
Obama has IRS targeting... no on fired
Obama has NSA ....no one fired
Obama had Benghazi No one fired two years later Americans died
Obama has Obama care role out disaster no one held accountable or fired
Obama holds no one accountable for anything weakening the country an his presidency
Christie held the people responsible accountable and fired them
There was no targeting with the IRS and there was no political bullying during the shutdown from Obama unless you believe everything you hear on right wing media.
Are you serious? Even there IRS admitted there was targeting.
Who holds Ted Cruz and Rand Paul to a higher standard?

The constitution does no advocate is a list of rights for the people.
The IRS argument has been proven a lie. the IRS never even targeted individuals or groups, it specifically went after 501(c)3 groups who are tax exempt and it was from BOTH sides of the aisle.
You are also wrong about the state parks as well, it indeed cost more for them to be open than closed because overhead includes operations and payroll.
The lies from the Obama pom pon squad never end. If there was no IRS scandal, then why did Obama apologize for it and fire the interim head of the IRS?
The only way someone could parrot this propaganda is as employment by the DNC or OFA.

More left wing lies.
Apparently you believe people routinely go around apologizing for things that didn't happen.
The link talks about the transcript that Issa was hiding because it had no proof that the Tea Party was being targeted.
