Today's Repentant Democrat is Steny Hoyer

The Number Two House Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer, is now admitting he was wrong when he called Republican efforts to raise the debt ceiling “immoral” back in 2004.It's funny how having "your guy" in the White House changes everything.

(Daily Caller) — In preparation for the looming debate to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, a top House Democrat joined President Obama by issuing his own own personal mea culpa for opposing a debt ceiling increase in years past.

The number two Democrat in the House, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, who called Republican efforts to raise the debt ceiling “immoral” when he voted against it in 2004, is the latest to apologize for his position on the issue. During a briefing with reporters Tuesday morning, Hoyer said his nay vote seven years ago was a “mistake.”
