Now I Understand

Massachusetts Democrats believe in two sets of rules- one for them and one for the rest of us. The supposed fonts of erudition from Harvard's hallowed halls, right into Governor Patrick's office have spawned the idea of "this is OK for me, but not for thee". From the late Ted Kennedy with his drowning pool to customized law for Democrat partisan political advantage, this was seen once more in the hurried legislation to facilitate the installation of Paul Kirk to replace Chappaquiddick Ted. When a Democrat occupies the US Senate seat, but a Republican sits as governor, there is no way, he (Romney) will be permitted to appoint a temporary replacement to fill the seat until a special election. But when the shoe is on the other foot, with a Democrat governor holding the reins of power, the vacancy must be filled immediately- another Democrat must fill the breach and vote us into the "hell care" of public option socialism. So Democrats operate under a double standard with loyalty to party emphasized above law and country.
