Let me ask you this Nephy…. If you were talking to one of your children about something wrong that they had done, what would be your reaction if he/she tried to use the excuse that their brother/sister did it too. Would you let them off the hook? No. Wrongdoing on one side does not excuse wrongdoing on the other.

The actions of some Republican lawmakers can not be dismissed because some Democrats have done bad things as well.

I have never dismissed wrong doing. Two wrongs don't make a right- but I see hypocrisy and a severe double standard on the other side of the aisle here.

- and everything you said works on the flip side too.
