If, out of all the people, guilty of financial crimes, mostly Republicans, a Democrat has to go to jail first, I'm fine with Jon Corzine doing time.
So often, a Democrat will be suspected of a crime, and wingnuts will appear to say, "Na na, what do you think now?" As if to say, see, you say Republicans should be locked up, but now it's one of yours!
My answer, which they routinely ignore, is that it's fine with me to prosecute guys like Jon Corzine, irrespective of the fact that he's a Democrat.
This disconnect between some wingers and me is that I don't have double standards for members of my tribe. Because they do, they expect me to.
They project every one of their own immoralities onto liberals. We've learned enough not to project our decencies onto them.
