RE: Kelso: Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela ... Phil Hart?

Mr. Bloggy: And Mr_Bloggy might add that Hart is the worst kind of hypocrite - and no, not just because he's a chronic lawbreaker, but because he refuses to pay taxes while stealing from the very govt he will not do his part to support. He is like a little boy who pouts and stomps off to his room rather than help rake up the pine needles in the yard with his siblings, but when his mom sets out the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to cool while his sibs are raking away, he sneaks out of his room, down the hall, and into the kitchen where he waits until mom steps out and then grabs heaping armloads of cookies. He is a horrid man and probably least favored amongst his siblings. Full comment below.

Question: Bloggy goes on to say that Hart serves as the canary in a mine for the Republican Party. By continuing to tolerate his actions, the Republican Party shows how far down it has descended into partisanship. Do you agree?

Actually Mr_Bloggy finds Hart to be a case study in hypocrisy as opposed to irony. Irony might be if a group of Kindergartners showed up at Hart's illegal log home with hatchets and started chopping away at the logs so as to recoup at least material value from the $ he stole from their schools.

Hart is also a benchmark, or canary in a coal mine if you will, of how deeply a single party state can descend into the bubbling and toxic cesspool of partisanship, as his brethren and sisterhood amongst the Idaho Republican Party and state legislature continue to support this scofflaw and allow him ongoing escape and avoidance of the natural, logical, and just consequences to his despicable actions.
