I am sick and tired of listening to pundits, commentators and, yes, DUers attacking Democrats [View all]

for supposedly not performing exactly as they think they should while not saying a WORD of criticism about the Republicans they're having to put up with.

Since yesterday's hearing (and before, but they've really ratcheted it up in the last 30 hours) these people have done little but lambaste Democrats, who are busting their butts trying to stay focused, save this country, while trying to both ignore and dodge incoming fire, hostile and "friendly," but have given the Republicans a complete pass. I haven't seen anyone comment more than in passing about the Republicans' despicable behavior, much less show any footage of it. Anyone who didn't watch the hearing live and is getting their information from the news channels or online discussion boards would be forgiven for assuming that only Lewandowski and committee Democrats participated in the hearing while not a single Republican was anywhere to be found.

And I don't buy the "well, everyone already knows the Republicans are terrible so there's no point talking about them" excuse. That's bullshit. If it's worth talking nonstop about what the Democrats are and aren't doing and why it's all wrong, it's certainly worth talking about what the Republicans are doing, especially since it's the Republicans' behavior that the Democrats are fighting mightily to deal with.

I'm really disgusted by this.

I think I'll go watch Ken Burns' country music documentary for awhile ...
