Democrats, what happened to your 2008-2016 outrage over a president facing opposition?

You do realize the back and forth between the two parties is theater right? Our monetary policy, foreign policy, mass surevillance and the welfare state don't change. There is a reason for that.

Right back at you. Why are you Republicans crying about a tactic that y'all practiced with such zeal?

The Democrats will have no leg on stand on when they eventually take back the White House and conservative citizens bitch about their dumbassery.

I clarify "conservative citizens" because the Republicans in DC will bend over and tell them Democrats to go as deep as they'd like.

And the GOP is not a bunch of hypocrites? Give me a break. Go back to 2010 when Dems waited until Scott Brown was officially seated in the Senate before voting on health care. Now, McConnell said he is not going to wait for Jones and will vote on the tax bill before he arrives.

Come on Hail, lets not jump on the disingenuous train now.

I assume you are old enough to remember the Bush years when Democratic opposition and protest was labeled a war on the troops and un-American.....Right until Obama took office as commander in chief and then all of the sudden righties were putting bumper stickers on their car about watering Thomas Jefferson's liberty trees with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Waving around don't tread on me flags, burning Obama effigies, and holding tea parties. When Mitch and friends met shortly after 2008 and declared "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

That's because Kennedy was dead you moron. They didn't have a legally appointed Senator in his place installed before Brown was seated.

What happened to all those Democrats who opposed war but supported Obama's continuation of Bush's foreign policy, escalation of drone wars, the war in Libya, war in Syria and want another Cold War with Russia?

And vise versa. That's why I stay in the middle. From here I can make fun of both sides

Wait I thought Obama's abandonment of the Bush policy in Iraq is why he is supposedly the sole cause of ISIS and all the bad things in the world? Why we needed to surge in Afghanistan again?

I can't keep up with where the goal posts are supposed to be anymore.

But jest aside, I don't think anywhere I was making the point that the left can't be hypocritical. Hypocrisy is often a bi-partisan issue. As is deflecting responsibility like you just did.

As to the issue of drones, since you brought it up, i'd say places like the Fake News liberal Washington Post did a pretty ongoing and consistent scrutinizing of Obama's use of drones.

Obama’s drone war is a shameful part of his legacy LINK

Drone strikes killing more civilians than U.S. admits, human rights groups say LINK

Why the White House claims on drone casualties remain in doubt
LINK

Under Obama, an emerging global apparatus for drone killing
LINK

An airstrike in Syria killed entire families instead of ISIS fighters
LINK /

Virtually no progress’ on making Obama’s lethal drone strike policy more transparent, report says
LINK /

Drone use remains cloaked despite Obama’s pledge for more transparency
