What the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) fails to tell its readers in its
own
brand of curious silence is that 47 Democrats are actual card carrying members
of this group.
Its called two faced and it is unfortunalty something many of the
politicians do all the time. Remember how some of the conservatives
supported Nixon even after he resigned in disgrace?
Now we see the Democrats/Liberals supporting Clinton no matter what he does.
What it boils down to is the notion that "if my guy is in power, then
everything
he could possibly do from molesting children, raping women or abusing office
is allright because he is my guy."
Fools never change.
Cheers,
Robert
