Why are Republicans hiding the fact Maddof is Republican?

That's news to me. However, why aren't the press screaming about him not being thrown under some jail somewhere instead of in his penthouse? Why is Obama's justice department just sitting on it instead of fully prosecuting him? I would think, if he was a republican, he would have been in jail by now. Why aren't the prosecutors involved with the case and their supervisors being investigated for not throwing his evil backside in jail?
