Politics: don’t do as I do, do as say

See comments to https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/20/opinion/sunday/nafta-mexico-trump-ambassador.html.

Many “conservatives” complain about “liberals” attacking Trump and the Republicans.  Have they forgotten their obstruction of many of Obama’s initiatives and the false claims about his birth?

After years of obstruction of Obama’s appointees, why are they in such a rush to appoint judges?

It seems to me that many “conservatives” only want to conserve their power.  They completely ignore the Constitution, Washington’s Farewell Address (foreign entanglements), Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address (government of the people, by the people, and for the people), and Eisenhower’s Farewell Address (military-industrial complex).

What would we call a party that considered these important thoughts in their own governance of our country?
