(62,325 posts)you are supposed to find ways to excuse it, to explain it, to justify it. Republicans are okay when the president appoints them.
However, and I'm telling you this for your own good, if you ever, ever dare to even whisper that Ron Paul opposes the Drug War and opposed Bush's wars and refused to fund them, you will be accused of being a 'Paultard', a disgusting and insulting to the mentally ill, insult. You will be accused of supporting Republicans and it will be suggested that you go join FR.
The president however, no matter how many Republicans he appoints to powerful positions will never be accused of anything but the most honorable motives.
How many Republicans do we have now in this 'democratic' administration? Is the president a 'bushtard' for keeping Bush appointees, like Bernanke, like Gates, now Comey and how many others? Of COURSE not.
But remember, never, ever point out that YOU, like the president apparently, see that some Republicans, like Ron Paul eg who worked with Democrats like Alan Grayson and Dennis Kucinich, have from time to time opposed right wing policies.
Yes, I know, there is so much hypocrisy going around, but you are not supposed to notice it. The very same people who will, once again for the umpteenth time now, excuse and explain and justify the President creating a Republican cabinet and refusing to dispose of Bush appointees, will attack you if you dare to mention Paul in a positive way.
I hope I don't see anyone ever again try to slam any DUer who points out that Paul and one or two other Republicans have been right on some issues. I will be asking them to explain why they see no problem with this Republican cabinet the president is creating.
