when those same DUers don't stick up for Dems themselves?

I am referring to the Stark condemnation. Many DUers are complaining about how the Dems did not stick up for Stark. I've noticed that some of those same posters are in the habit of criticizing the Dems on a daily basis (or close to daily) and I wonder why they think Dems should stick up for their side when they don't stick up for the Dems.

In fact, I'm wondering what the justification is for thinking that Dems should have stuck up for Stark. Is it because he's a Dem? Because he was right? Because it's what you want?
