As if you needed further proof that Democrats can’t be trusted…

What they say:

Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada both said they would work with President Bush in a bipartisan manner, and they made the same commitment with respect to congressional Republicans.

What they do:

Democrats are planning to largely sideline Republicans from the first burst of lawmaking.

…instead of allowing Republicans to fully participate in deliberations, as promised after the Democratic victory in the Nov. 7 midterm elections, Democrats now say they will use House rules to prevent the opposition from offering alternative measures, assuring speedy passage of the bills and allowing their party to trumpet early victories.

Their true colors are beginning to shine… of course, if you’ve read this blog long enough, this doesn’t come as any surprise to you.
