“Hypocrisy, my friends, is the most obvious of political sins. And the people will punish it,” McCain said, explaining that while Republicans were elected to reduce the size of government, they ended up increasing it “in the false hope that we could bribe the public into keeping us in office.”

it’s all stuff that progressives and democrats have been saying for years, but it definitely
takes on more weight when coming from republicans themselves.
