Umm maybe you are missing the point? Most Democrats are not going around preaching morality onto others the same way Republicans are. Larry Craig, here is a homophobe that is gay. Mark Sanford, called on Clinton to resign. Come on Mark, still waiting for YOUR resignation (you know what with the lying being the worst thing a politician can do).
No Democrats are FAR far far F..A..R. from perfect. But then again I do not hear Democrats preaching a morality they themselves will not live up to. Sorry but the party of "Family Values" is nothing of the sort, but a party of hypocrisy, stupidity, and downright shameful deceit. I have been listening to their preachy B.S. now for 3+ decades, and it never fails to amaze me how so many are just hypocrites.
Tell you what though, if the Republicans still want to preach morality, why not actually go find some people that will actually live up to these ideas? But when your side chooses to prop up S.O.B.s like Newt "I cheat on every wife" Gingrich you should damn well expect to be called out for it. So now who are the idiots, the Republicans who accept Newt teaching them about morality, or the Democrats laughing at this all?
Ahh, I love when these issues come out, because I always get a good laugh.
Remember folks, do what so many liberals are wanting you to do, have no standards, attempt to push no standards, have no morals, set the bar so low and then its perfectly okay, acceptable, and neigh commendable if you become a sleeze because hey....you may be a liar, a cheat, a thief, etc but look on the bright side, you're not a hypocrite. And that's what
really matters.
Ignore the fact that I'd love to hear from many of the liberals that have kids...
Do you tell your kids not to do drugs? If so, have you ever or do you ever partake?
Do you tell your kids not to drink when they're too young or in excess? If so, have you ever done so?
Do you tell yours kids not to drive drunk? If so, have you or do you ever get i the car even after a drink and drive?
Do you tell your kids not to lie? Do you never lie?
Do you tell your kids not to break the law? Do you ever speed?
It goes on and on.
As I've said in another thread, so often when people complain about Republican Hypocracy its pure partisanship without any actual legitimate, logical, realistic, and honest attempt to discern the situation.
Show me the republican platform that says all people are perfect, unable to make mistakes, and always live up to the ideals placed forth for them. Quote me where that's part of the campaign. What plank of the platform is that. I'd be anxious to hear it.
You're not going to find it, because its not there. Part of having high ideals is the understanding that sometimes people fall short of those ideals. When people do fall short the goal is not to shrug it off, say no big deal, give them essentially rewards for falling short, and saying you just keep on doing what you're doing. Its about getting them to take responsability for what they did and strive to do better.
As I've said in many of the other republican scandals. If he had came out and blamed this on some exterior thing or tried ot claim some great liberal conspiracy to get him, I'd be amazingly angry at this guy. If he had came out and lied about this repeatedly, and especially under oath, I'd be upset with him. If he did this and his constiuency called for him to step down and he refused, I'd have issue. If he had demanded a politician step down for a similar situation and he didn't, I'd be upset. As it stands, that doesn't seem to be the case. He wouldn't get my vote for re-election, but I don't see this man as a flaming hypocrite. He was weak of will, made some bad judgements, and has taken responsability for that it seems by stepping down....that's taking responsabilities for ones own actions.
The man wouldn't have my vote again, but the outrage of this is either completely dishonest being launched immedietely for blind partisan reasons OR is people themselves likely being hypocrites by attempting to be so outraged that the man did something hypocritical when they themselves likely have done such hypocracy themselves.
