Dems Can't Break the Habit

Despite their promise of moderation and transparency last November the Democrats can’t break the habit of taxing and spending, reports Senate Minority Leader John Boehner writes that the Democrats recently tried to change the House rules to allow them to vote for raising taxes without leaving their fingerprints on the vote.  That’s not what Democrats promised last year.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Ca.) said in December, “[W]e promised the American people that we would have the most honest and most open government and we will.”

It’s sad but true that political parties do not get into office on the strength of their programs.  They get into power because the voters can’t stand the other party for another minute.
