More Hypocrisy

It's ironic how Democrats would lambaste Republicans for preventing various items from being debated on the floor. Now that the issue of certain Democratic sacred cows are becoming of more salient interest, Democrats are resorting to some of the exact same tactics to prevent debate that they accused Republicans of using. With the energy situation the way it is, the issues of previously off limit drilling and nuclear energy are compelling topics for debate. But Democrats are actively preventing debate on these topics just like they accused Republicans of preventing debate on other topics. That's not to say we should necessarily be actively pursuing those things, but given circumstances shouldn't we at least be debating them? I guess when it's your sacred cow it's ok to prevent debate no matter how pertinent.
