Do you suggest that such things simply be allowed to occur without even so much as a comment? We really might as well shutter CE in that case. <em>It’s perfectly legal, and I wish it had worked.</em> That's truly unfortunate. I have no such feelings about underhanded tactics from the Democrats. Pointing out underhanded and dishonest behavior does not constitute a “lecture.”

It’s perfectly legal, and I wish it had worked.

I doubt you missed them entirely. And yes, when we're being lectured on ethics by people who have done exactly the same thing for exactly the same reaons, "they did it too" is a perfectly valid comment. Hypocrisy counts for something, and Democrats have raised hypocrisy to a fine art. Comments? It's perfectly legal, and I wish it had worked. The Democrats and their union thugs have been playing dirty in Wisconsin since the beginning. Did you have any comments on the 2010 incidents at the time? I doubt you missed them entirely.
