Republicans are hypocrites
Is this true?
I hear some democrats are, too. In fact most of them. But then, they can still function a bit. It's their social coscience.

There's no such thing as a person who isn't a hypocrite 

Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.

That may be, but some spend more on the PR to create a Legend. Lance Armstrong, John Edwards.

Most democrats have the social conscious of a child, wishing that everything be unicorns puking rainbows and farts that smell like roses. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams for everyone, and it's all free!

That may be, but there are practical considerations. You need a sponsor for the unicorn.

Which is easy for Democrats because there is always plenty of other people to sponsor the unicorns.Tero wrote:That may be, but there are practical considerations. You need a sponsor for the unicorn.

Re: Republicans are hypocrites
It's really, really, really difficult to find a political discussion lacking in hypocrisy. Politics is so tribal, so identity driven that the "when my team does it it's great, but when the other team does it it's horrible" mentality is almost a given.
It's almost as difficult as finding an intelligent discussion with a conservative. ;-)

If you don't like being called "stupid", then stop saying stupid things.

Re: Republicans are hypocrites
As Animavore said, everyone is a hypocrite.
But politicians win the prize.

For every human action, there is a rationalisation and a reason. Only sometimes do they coincide.

Herein lies the difference between Republicans and Democrats. When Democrats want to deride Republican ideas, they don't have to write up a ridiculous charicature like this - they just deride their actual ideas.

This might not fall under the "Republicans are hypocrites" category so much as the "Republicans are slimier than used-car salesmen" category:
Virginia Republicans Redistrict While Civil Rights Leader Attends Inauguration
In what has to be one of the sneakiest moves by a state legislature since Tom Delay had Texas redraw its congressional districts in 2003, the Virginia state Senate redrew the boundaries of the state Senate districts yesterday, while long-time civil rights activist, state senator Henry L Marsh III was in D.C. attending President Obama's inauguration. Currently the Virginia state senate is split evenly, with 20 Democrats and 20 Republicans. As we learned after the 2010 elections, when one party controls all the levers of power in state government, it can gerrymander all districts to its hearts' content, pass laws making it harder for people to vote, and more. With the state senate split evenly between the parties, it was impossible for Republicans to pass openly partisan laws, even though they control the state house and the governor's mansion.
So the Republican state senators waited until one of their members, Marsh, was out of state, and then rammed through new state senate district lines yesterday by a vote of 20 to 19. The plan was a tightly held secret. Even the governor didn't know about it and has said he has to think about whether to sign it or not. If he signs it, Republicans will have a good shot at taking back the state senate in 2014. But the downside of signing it is that the Democrats in the current state senate are likely to block everything in the current session of the legislature and blame the Republicans.
To make things more complicated, Virginia will elect a new governor in Nov. 2013, as Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) is term limited. Likely Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Terry McAuliffe, is almost sure to use this sneaky redistricting as a weapon to say that Republicans don't accept election results unless they win. As Virginia becomes bluer and bluer, that could help him. The likely Republican nominee is state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who is a conservative firebrand. Thus the move by the state senate yesterday could easily spill over into the gubernational race in this key swing state. Whichever party wins the governor's mansion in November, will no doubt use that to the fullest in 2016.
