"The left is consistently inconsistent"

Please read Generation Why?'s post about the left's hypocrisy, and how it causes them problems in making their point of view accepted. Here is an excerpt:
National Security

They laughed and brushed aside the story of a National Security Advisor admitting that he stole and destroyed classified documents relating to the government's response and approach toward prevention of terror attacks... then they claim outrage when a prosecutor investigates the alleged outing of an undercover CIA agent and only comes up with an indictment on obstruction.

Iraq

They believe every Democrat that ever claimed Saddam/Iraq was a threat to America and American interests, but don't believe any Republican that claims Saddam/Iraq was a threat to America and American interests.

(snip...)

Military Draft

They cried foul when rumors of a draft surfaced last year, but they ignored the fact that the only draft bill submitted was authored and co-sponsored by only Democrats.

Social Security - Reform

They supported Democrats who said Social Security was in trouble and advocated partially privatizing social security, but they blasted Republicans who said Social Security was in trouble and advocated partially privatizing social security.

Mandates

They claimed a President who never received a majority of the popular vote had a mandate, but claim a President who received a majority of the popular vote does not have a mandate.
"Mandate"? Isn't that Barney Frank's plans for the weekend? Seriously, though, the rest makes for excellent reading.
