GOP says, “Let's give Judge Alito a fair up-or-down vote.” What about Harriet Miers’ fair up-or-down vote? Hypocrites!

After insisting that Democrats give earlier Bush Judicial nominees an “up-or-down vote” conservative Republicans successfully shot down President Bush’s last Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers forcing her to withdraw rather than allow her an up-or-down vote before the full Senate. They feared she may not be conservative enough and anti-abortion enough even though Bush insisted that she was a born again evangelical protestant and therefore perfect for the Supreme Court. Now they are saying of Bush’s replacement nominee, "Let's give Judge Alito a fair up-or-down vote, not left or right," said Sen. John Thune, Republican Senator of South Dakota speaking for the GOP. His views were echoed by many other Republicans who had forced Harriet Miers to withdraw. I hope the American People will see this rank hypocrisy and all of the rest of the many hypocritical things the GOP says and does that shows that they are the most dishonest party in America fast approaching the level of honesty of the Communist Party in the former Soviet Union.
