twitterLetter: GOP again shows disdain for citizens
Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2000 | 9:22 a.m.
Brian Greenspun, in his column "A partisan union state," put it quite well in describing the lack of loyalty to the nation and its people by the Republicans refusing to acknowledge the gains made in the economy and other areas. I do vaguely remember the Democrats being selective about what they responded to in past Republican presidential speeches but I don't think it went to the extreme ideological extent that the Republicans displayed more than a week ago.
The Republican leadership has shown time and again its disdain for the citizens by publicly stating that its unpopular and disloyal actions will not cost them because by the time an election comes around they will be forgotten. They have done it so many times (impeachment, shutting the government down over the budget, refusing to discuss campaign finance reform, etc.) that I think the attention span of a lot of us might surprise them.
