I have had it with the hypocrisy
I am sick and tired of all of this hypocrisy coming from the Right. I just about had it when I read that Zell Miller would be honoring the Swift Liars. They are proven Liars. I guess when Regressives say 'moral values' it means they are policing other people's moral values. Clinton was much better than Bush, and yet they try to attack his administration as a failure. I could, and should, go on about the Republican bigotry, hypocrisy, fear-mongering, etc., but that might overload the DU website.

And that is why I will never move or leave America (if anyone else does, that is fine, it's just a personal decision for me), I am going to stay here and find some way to oppose the Immoral 'Majority', the Anti-Christ Coalition, the Fiendish Congress Foundation, and all those other Regressives who think Democracy is 'uncool'.

2. I love the Miracle of Hypocrisy.
I just can't wait to use more of it on my fellow nutjobs.

"We are the party of moral values. Now I'd like to introduce you to our new AG - Alberto Gonzales. Not just a symbol of how inclusionary our party is, but here is a man who stands behind our values and who validates the use of torture to protect our oil interests."

Yes, I remember when Jesus used torture to convert many pagans to Christianity. One of the happiest passages in the Bible.

A COMPENDIUM OF SEXUAL HYPOCRISY
"You know, with all the ink and air time spent commenting on Mr. Clinton's real and alleged sexual improprieties, you would think that the "fair and balanced" media would note the avalanche of GOP and right-wing sex crimes and hypocrisy. I mean it's not like they don't think sex sells. Consider, it's all Kobe all the time now.
Just to get this off my chest, let's list the ones I know about. This is not an exhaustive list because I have a job that does not allow me to track all this stuff down. As Jackson Thoreau said, "There are just too many Republican mistresses and not enough hours in the day. Nevertheless, <warning>long post ahead</warning>
There's President George Bush accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping one Margie Denise Schoedinger (who apparently dated Bush years ago when she was a minor) and who is also accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999. There's the press ignoring extramarital activities by the hypocrites who served on the impeachment committee like Henry Hyde and Bob Barr. And then there's the documented sexual misconduct of Bill Thomas, Bob Livingston, Dick Armey, Dan Burton, Charles Canady, J.C. Watts, Helen Chenoweth, Sue Myrick, Ken Calvert, John Peterson, Dan Crane, Donald Lukens, Jim Gilmore, Scott McInnis and Arlan Stangeland. All Republican hypocrites who attacked Clinton for his affairs and expressed outrage when people put a microscope on their private sexual lives. If you want more, like these randy GOPers, check out the site Congressional Arrest record.
My favorites are Rep. Helen Chenoweth who, during her 1998 campaign, admitted to a six-year adulterous affair with a married associate but noted that "I've asked for God's forgiveness, and I've received it," Rep. Joe Scarborough, and, of course, the Newtster.
Remember the non-stop Gary Condit smear campaign? He admits to an affair with Chandra Levy who, when she goes missing, becomes prima facia evidence of murder, much as Hillary is/was accused of offing Vince Foster. No problem with coverage there. But when a dead woman was found in Congressman Joe Scarborough's office, where was the outrage and the non-stop coverage? Now Joe holds forth on his own MSNBC show, lecturing us about the crimes of the Democrats and the bleating the GOP party line.
That paragon of virtue Newt Gingrich is on his third 3 wife now. (God, I don't mean literally, I hope. That image is just too much too imagine.) Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. She told Vanity Fair, "we had oral sex. He prefers that because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" Well, where else did we hear that, I wonder. Meanwhile, he dumps his first wife during a visit to the hospital where she is recovering from surgery for breast cancer. Famously, he attributed Susan Smith’s drowning of her children as being due to our “sick system” fostered by the "amoralty" of the Democrats in the White House and then said, "the only way to make it better is to vote Republican.”
Compassionate. Conservative.
But let's not confine ourselves to Congressional Republicans. While we're on the subject of Susan Smith, let's flesh out that story.
Not too much later - although I don’t recall the media pointing this out, Susan Smith’s stepfather publicly apologized to Susan, saying, “You don’t have all the guilt in this tragedy,” because he had molested her early on, then drew her into a full-blown sexual affair later. He knew she was already traumatized by her father’s suicide. As her stepfather, he should have been there FOR her, not there to USE her.
And just who was her stepfather, this man named Beverly Russell? He was a key operative in the South Carolina Republican Party and a Christian Coalition member. Susan testified that one morning after he had been out putting up campaign posters for Pat Robertson for president, he came into her bedroom and put her hand on his genitals and kissed her and fondled her. Later, he made her his full-time sex object.
Then there's Richard Delgaudio. This prominent GOP activist and Bush Pioneer fund-raiser is the head of an array of conservative activist groups. The compassionate conservative helped out a 16-year-old girl who had a baby and dropped out of school, who needed money. Delgaudio paid her for pornographic photo sessions. But then, he continued to raise money without the embarrassment of newspaper stories or non-stop TV coverage from November, 2001, when he was first arrested, until April 23 when he was sentenced after pleading guilty to child pornography.
These GOP leaders seem to have something for pre-pubescent girls. Parker J. Bena, a Virginia GOP activist and Bush elector was indicted and convicted in 2001 for possessing child pornography. Kevin Coan, GOP election official in St. Louis, who found time from altering votes during the 200 election to solicit sex from a 14-year-old girl on the internet. Let's also point out Philip Giordano, the former GOP mayor of Waterbury, who was sentenced to 37 years in prison for soliciting sex with underaged girls.
And, let's not forget Randy Ankeney, rising star in the Colorado GOP circles, who was arrested in 2001 for trying to have sex with a 13-year-old girl he met on Internet. The indictment revealed he warned the girl and her family he’d ruin them if they told anyone. Doesn't that sound familiar? After his arrest, another 17-year-old girl who worked on Ankeney's campaign came forward alleging he sexually assaulted her. In 2002, he pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault of a child.
How about registered GOP hypocrite John Fund, late of the Wall Street Journal, a prominent anti-abortion columnist and fund raiser? He lost his position after it was revealed that he impregnated the daughter of an old girlfriend and then encouraged her to abort his child.
Besides Oxy-Contin addict and uncharged felon Rush, Florida GOP smear radio host Marty Glickman was arrested in 2001 for giving drugs and money to underage girls in exchange for sex. He kept his show spreading lies and denying the charges until he was convicted, taken off the air only because there was no studio in the Palm Beach County Jail.
The moral corruption on the GOP goes so deep that almost anywhere you scratch, the slime comes to the surface, even out of left field. Remember Mary Kay LeTourneau? You know, the teacher who had a compulsive series of affairs with her students and was the object of much tutt-tutting and outrage by the corporate media. Despite court orders prohibiting any further contact, she sacrificed her career, marriage, and her children to this sexually compulsive behavior. Well, her father, John G. Schmitz was an ultra-conservative Republican congressman forced into retirement by the discovery that he had an affair and children with one of his students. Imagine that! It has been alleged, but not proven (or, unsurprisingly, investigated) that Mrs. LeTourneau's her out-of-control sexuality came sexual abuse as a child.
I'd like to apologize to my readers about this post, this exercise in yellow journalism, in this heretofore highbrow blog, but I just had to get it off my chest."

4. The Hypocrisy is truly staggering...
These people have no concept of 'fair and balanced'.
All they understand is 'winning' and 'losing'

My ex was like that - She had to compete with everyone, take an adversarial stance to everything because she could not understand that winning DIDN'T mean someone else had to lose.

Hence the reason she is an 'X'

It is important for these people to cause harm - the harmed are therefore 'losers' and 'at fault'.

It's a very stunted, insecure mentality, hopefully we outlive that mindset as a race.
