Truth in Black and White

Republicans are proud of the House Republicans, and Democrats are disgusted by them. Me, on the outside of both parties, find cold comfort in the words of Richard Spencer:

The GOPers have essentially gone into “principled opposition” mode in which they’ll start voting against the kind of Big Government legislation they know will pass anyway—and which they would have undoubtedly supported had a Republican been in the White House and their party been in control of Congress. Such stalwarts of limited government would have also voted “nay” last night if Obama had proposed, say, a trillion-dollar prescription drug plan, a proposal for the greater federalization of public schools, or a 700 billion fund for the “troubled assets” of the Wall Street bankstas.

Ahh, reality.
