The Democrats used to be concerned about a lot of things that no longer trouble them. Consider things like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those used to be major concerns for leftists, but no more. Then there is the government's eavesdropping program. That used to be a major concern; but no more. Apparently replacing Bush with Obama as President has made all of the difference. So, the left was not really concerned about the wars or loss of liberty, it was just about politics. They just wanted to get rid of Bush. Then there is the matter of corruption in high places. Leftists were concerned about it then, but it is no longer an issue even though the White House is now occupied with practitioners of Chicago-style pay-to-play politics. Consider the dealings of David Axelrod as reported in Flopping Aces. Leftists so no problem with this obviously unethical behavior.
