Do Conservative Republicans live by the motto "Do as I say not as I do"?

Question

Has hypocrisy been proven to be a wonderful weapon for liberals in their war against conservatives?

Answer 1

I believe it's just the opposite.  The hypocrisy displayed here by the liberals is nothing short of astounding.  Since the Palin announcement, it's been nothing but Palin this, Palin that; to include things such as needing to stay home with her children instead of running for office.  

The hypocrites here aren't the conservatives, they are the liberals.  And you know as well as I do that fundies do not comprise the largest segment of the Republican party.  

Answer 2

That seems very clear to me.  They have no right to pass moral judgment on anyone, nor do they have the right to shove their beliefs down my throat.  I remember that old saying 'The moral majority is neither'.

Answer 3

General statements like this do not hold any weight in my book. Now, if Sarah Palin took her daughter to get an abortion, that would be hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is rampant in politics and the general population. I don't think it's a weapon to use against Republicans.

Answer 4

We know that if it was Obama's daughter or Biden's daughter, they would be raked over the coals by the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh.

Obama supporters are better than that and this should NOT be a public matter. Let it go. None of your business.

Answer 5

Very much so...just look at that birdbrained b**** suthrnhypocite's own ignorance, double-standards, and shortcomings as an example.  Heck, for that matter just look at "fatherless" Michael W's idiotic reply....he wants to whine about "crappping on the Constitution" when he's one of the biggest racists and antisemites here on Y!A, advocating stripping away rights for anyone who isn't of "white Aryan stock"....sounds like he's beeen taking on ride on the CHUCK-wagon lately.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Baldw... BUAHAHAHA!

****Since the Palin announcement, it's been nothing but Palin this, Palin that;****

BAH!  It's all fair game, miss thang!  Since Obama had announced his campaign, it's been Muslim this, Rev. Wright that" from the whiny conturds looking to paint Obama as "anti american."  Heck, this Palin character is actually UNDER INVESTIGATION for ABUSE OF POWER!!!  I thought hypocritical conturds were all about the "rule of law."  Hah!!!!  WTF was Songbird McSAME thinking...or was he even thinking at all when he chose this woman?  

***...to include things such as needing to stay home with her children instead of running for office.***

Um...isn't it religious whackjobs and kool-aide drinking Christers that believe that the woman's place is "in the home, barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen?"  You are surely reaching with this ill-advised projection.  

***And you know as well as I do that fundies do not comprise the largest segment of the Republican party.***

BUAHAHAHAH!!!!!  This is the funniest load of crock I've heard so far today.  The fundies are some of the biggest bankrollers behind the GOP...they may not be as prominent as they once were during their heyday but they still manage to ciphon off millions of dollars from gullible sheep..er..i mean..."faithful believers."  LMAO!!!

Answer 6

Of course. Examples:

Whining about Palin's inexperience being a topic for Dems? Hmn, they didn't have a problem attacking Obama on experience for the past year.

Whining about Palin's daughter/parenting being a topic of character?

Hmn, they went to town attacking Obama's character with his old pastor.

Whining about the cost of "socialist" ideas for health care reform and social services?

Hmn, they didn't mind earmarking the most wasteful, useless spending in history.

Answer 7

Yes.  Kind of like how Obama speaks out against the Patriot Act and then turns around and votes for it.  Speak out against war and then talk about considering "pre-emptive" missile strikes on Iran and Pakistan.  But of course having a pregnant daughter is WAY worse than talking about killing people and crapping on the Constitution.

Answer 8

No... why would you say that?

Answer 9

Conservatives' behavior throughout the course of the election season has certainly shown that they do, indeed, live by said motto.  They have berated Obama for his association with a "racist" & "anti-American" preacher but conveniently ignore Palin's past membership with a secessionist party in her home state.   Obama's "lack of experience," to them, would be detrimental to the interests of America whereas Palin's short "resume" is not a problem with them.  After all, what better way to be able to fulfill the duties of the president in the event of a trajedy than to be a city council member of a town of less than 8500?  This is also the party of "family values" even though Palin has trouble keeping her own personal affairs in order, not to mention that she is currently under investigation for breaking the law, a charge that not even the conservatives can levy against Obama.

Yes, Republicans have, long ago, cornered the market on employing double standards.
