Let me be clearer then about my previous post, republicans are just as bad in practice.

But the most vocal people who want government intervention are left leaning.

So why call out the side that's at least honest about its intentions? If you think government intervention is a bad thing, isn't the side that's upfront and honest about its desired amount of intervention still better?

You can either take the view that the honesty is better or you can take the view that at least one party is sufficiently embarrassed by it that they don't proclaim it's a good thing and when they do it they hide it.

He just didn't pick the same one as you.

Forget political allegiance and let's be honest. By what metric is the blatantly hypocritical choice better?
