GOP Integrity in Short Supply

Neither Mitt Romney, nor anyone else in the GOP, has yet apologized, or distanced themselves, from Allen West’s outrageous claim that members of the Progressive Caucus are Communists.  In contrast, Democrats have been falling all over themselves to apologize for CNN contributor Hilary Rosen’s statement that Ann Romney “has actually never worked a day in her life”.  Ms. Rosen’s statement, while politically inept, at least had the virtue of being true.  West’s claim, on the other hand, is an unscrupulous fabrication.  See earlier posts on West and Rosen.

Hilary Rosen dissed Ann Romney

But did not say she was a commie

Like Allen West fallaciously

Said liberal Democrats could be.

‘Though Rosen has apologized

And Democrats have recognized

That what she said was out of line,

Republicans so far decline

To offer an apology

Or say the terminology

That West had used was wrong.

Apparently they go along

With anything that Allen says

As long as it defames the Pres

And Democrats.  The GOP

Completely lacks integrity –

They’re too unprincipled to disown

Mendacious statements by their own.
