GOP says they're for public debate, listening to the people, open government, law and order, fiscal conservative policy, blah, blah, blah....

Have you noticed a theme here...
House GOP was just kidding about that whole ‘72 hours’ thing — “Republicans campaigned on posting bills for ‘72 hours’ before voting on them, and a ‘transparency initiative’ website of House Speaker John Boehner still includes the promise in a number of hours format,” writes The Daily Caller’s Chris Moody. And yet, “the House will vote Wednesday on the hotly debated bill to fund the federal government through the fiscal year, approximately 36 hours after Republicans plan to make the language of the bill available online.” Does this mean the GOP is breaking its promise? Or does it just suck at math? Apparently, it is a combination of the two. “It is a three day rule,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told Moody. “That’s what was in the Pledge to America. It has always been calendar days.”
