Question for the right and the left

For the Right -- How is this different in form from Bush, Cheney, Rove et al fundraisers for Michele Bachmann? If Wetterling is the spawn of Satan for seeking the support from her party faithful, then isn't Bachmann just as despicable?

For the Left -- How is this different in form from Bush, Cheney, Rove et al fundraisers for Michele Bachmann? If Bachmann is the spawn of Satan for seeking support from her party faithful, then isn't Wetterling just as despicable?

Wetterling Set To Attend Lavish Washington , D.C. Fundraiser With Liberal $Pecial Interest Friends, Far-Left Pelosi

“With national liberals like Nancy Pelosi set to roll out the red carpet for her tomorrow, Patty Wetterling again demonstrates just how out of touch she is with the common sense residents of the Sixth Congressional District. Given her support for abortion on demand and massive job-killing tax increases, it’s no wonder so many liberal special interest groups are flocking to her far-left candidacy.”

- Mark Drake , Republican Party of Minnesota Spokesman

So, which party will figure out first just how childish they are being?
