:: These people truly, truly need to BE GONE, before Webster changes the definition of hypocrisy to include the term "Republican". The Republicans insisted on maintaining their staffing levels in spite of the fact that they lost 20% of their congressional seats in 2008. Aside from the utter hypocrisy/absurdity evidenced in this, we should ask ourselves why they require that additional staff. Perhaps campaign activities on the taxpayer dime? From Think Progress:
We had a situation — you should direct that question to Senator McConnell because we had trouble organizing this year. He wanted to maintain a lot of their staffing even though they had lost huge numbers. And the only way we could get it done is to do what we did.
