Ah, I see – the distinction rests upon the current Republican policy of do-nothingism (i.e. normally people who contributed to putting them into office would be purchasing the service of governance according to Republican preferences, but since they aren’t bothering to actually do that any more then they are off the goods-or-services hook). ---

If they are our people, we protect them, if they are not our people, who’s people are they? I’m inclined to a certain sympathy toward this perspective: [QUOTE=Jonathan Swift, “Gulliver’s Travels”] They look upon fraud as a greater crime than theft, and therefore seldom fail to punish it with death; for they allege, that care and vigilance, with a very common understanding, may preserve a man’s goods from thieves, but honesty has no defence against superior cunning; and, since it is necessary that there should be a perpetual intercourse of buying and selling, and dealing upon credit, where fraud is permitted and connived at, or has no law to punish it, the honest dealer is always undone, and the knave gets the advantage. [/QUOTE] ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > I think it’s true that Republicans get pitted a lot more than Democrats do. Absolutely. But (and I’ve made this point a zillion times), that’s not due to hypocrisy, that’s due to basic human nature. And I agree that that DNC mailing was worthy of a pit thread. But I didn’t start one. Why, because I’m a hypocrite? No, because I had never heard of it. And even if I had, would I have started a pit thread? Well, maybe. Depends on how busy I was at the moment, how near my PC, what my mood was, etc, etc, etc. ---
