Why Are Libs So Hypocritical?

[red states rule]

It never fails, those who lecture Amercia on how to live their lives - never walk the walk on their own

However, I'm sure they've invested plenty of carbon offsets into their own companies - or Al Gores company


2008 Candidates Rely on Private Jets

WASHINGTON -- A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.

For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, it was wheels up shortly after they voted in favor of legislation requiring that U.S. troops begin returning home from Iraq in the fall.

No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.

All but Biden, who flew on a private jet, chartered their flights -- a campaign expense of between $7,500 and $9,000.

Federal Election Commission rules allow candidates to pay only the equivalent of first-class fare to fly on private jets owned by corporations or other special interests. But a Senate ethics bill approved earlier this year would require senators flying on corporate jets to pay full charter rates. The legislation must still be reconciled with a House bill and has yet to become law.

[Bill]

Yeah. So you think they should drive around in busses, eh?

[red states rule]

At least trade in their limos for smaller car

Or is that asking to much?

They tell US to drive small cars and conserve gas

[Tommy]

ohh man your just so partisan its almost disgusting


so.... Romney Gulianni and McCain fly commericial ???
ohh yeah... its bad for the Dems to do but perfectly ok for the Repugs
I guess their private planes cost only 300 dollars

just once I would love to see one of these partisan shrills admit the same faults with their own party

do you really expect the former first lady to sit next to a bunch of screaming kids, Cmon..
and if you do shouldnt Laura also do the same in 2009

If Rudy and McCain were lecturing me on how I need to lower my standard of living and drive smaller cars - I would call them on it

Then we have Al Gore bellowing how man is destroying the earth - while his mansion conumes 20 times the energy of the average home

Not to mention $1000/month gas bills, and his private jet travel

[Tommy]

I am sorry I didnt know Al Gore was at the debate I also didnt know he was providing private jets for the canidates

and exactly when did Joe Biden Lecture you on saving energy

[red states rule]

Al is your typical limo lib who lectures the rest of us to lower our standard of living while doing the opposite

Biden has used the same enviro wacko talking points about the global warming crisis

[Tommy]

who has asked you to lower your standard of living ??

all Al gore asked you to do is turn off some lights when your not in the room (you didnt see the movie but of course your a critic )


you mean like..... when Rudy goes around talking about the sanctity of marriage. is that Hypocritical???

[red states rule]

Libs are telling me to drive smaller cars while they ldrive in limos

Pretty Boy Edwards talks about two America's while he builds a 30,000 sq ft mansion

Al Gore flys around the world bellowing about global warming (I wonder how much damage those jest did to the enviroment)

Rudy is scaring libs - he will destroy Hillary or Obama one on one

[Tommy]

so anythime someone asks you a question you respond with talking points that are off subject

again is Rudy a Hypocrite when he goes around talking about the sanctity of marriage

and the funny thing is you live in a blue state

[red states rule]

Rudy is speaking about gay marriage

You know - the issue that was to put Kerry to the Oval office in 04

[Krome]

and the funny thing is you live in a blue state

I just spat my cup of tea over the monitor laughing.

So if red states rule and liberals are so awfull then why live in a blue state?

Please reply saying something like you are trying to make the state red for the sake of the people.:lmao2: :lmao2: :lmao2:

[red states rule]

I live in a blue state but a very red section

Pres Bush won 75% of the vote here in 04

[Tommy]

Rudy is speaking about gay marriage



yes but how can one go around saying gay marriage is bad for traditional marriages and be married three times

was it the gays who made him announce his divorce in a press cofference before he even told his wife

I could have voted for Rudy
I would be happy if he won, I still might be.... but the 3 wives thing does bother me a bit
especially when he goes around talking about values

and anyone who lived in NYC knows hes a skirt chaser and he did raise taxes on everything

Considering the legacy of Bill Clinton - a skirt chaser would be a resume enhancemnet for Dems

BTW - Rudy cut taxes 23 times as Major and reduced the welfare rolls

[Tommy]

but when Rudy talks about traditional values
is that the same as Al Gore taking private jets

give me a straight anwser, spare me the talking points please



as far as him cutting taxes
I was there and lived it, the only good thing he did was get rid of the window washers, Also I remember he left the city broke and Bloomberg now has a surplus of a couple hundred million

Is that why Rudy was reelected in a very blue city

Rudy cut more taxes than any Mayor in New York City history, reducing or eliminating 23 city taxes that saved individuals and businesses more than $8 billion and reduced New Yorkers’ overall tax-burden by 22%. By the end of Giuliani’s term in office, New Yorkers enjoyed their lowest tax burden in three decades, along with 427,600 new private sector jobs, the strongest seven-year gain on record.


Rudy is not lecturing the rest of us on how to live our lives - Gore does everyday

[red states rule]

BTW, Rudy inherited a $2.3 billion dollar budget deficit and turned it into a multi-billion dollar surplus

with tax CUTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Blue]

There's a general disconnect between politicians and the average person. Again, this goes for both political parties, and it makes for a governing body that's out of touch with general population.

If you're paying $400 for a haircut, ride around in limos, private jets, etc, all day long...it does kind of take away your perspective on what the common man needs. Most of the politicians are elitists, out of touch with the reality of the average American, and therefore governs not for the majority, but for the minority of wealthy because that's what they understand.

But Dems are a different breed. They constantly lecture the folks how how they should live their lives - then ignore their own lecture

[Mr. Blue]

Perhaps in that regard Dems are a bit hypocritical, but it's like a Religious Republican getting caught in a call girl scandal or gay sex with an intern...there is plenty of hypocrisy in Washington to go around.

It doesn't negate the fact that there is a disconnect between politicians and their constituents. Politicians live in this artificial bubble that has very little to do with reality.

Americans care about the basics and politicians have forgotten what the basics are because they live in this Washington vacuum.

[red states rule]

Dems sat on the Foley emails for months so they could use them in time for the election

Dems on the other hand, protect their own

Does the name Gerry Studds mean anything to you?

[Linkster]

at least they came out - your republican prez still hides behind his gayness yet everyone in Washington knows what he did when daddy was in office

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2003/02/06/15709461.php

I suppose I should have added that your use of Studds is really weird since he admitted it as did the republican Dan Crane who was also reprimanded at the same time for the exact same thing - and neither one of them did anything illegal - Gingrich (who led the charge against both of them at the time) just wanted to make an example of Studds but he missed the fact that Crane was involved too - if memory serves Crane was not reelected and Studds continued to be reelected for a few more terms

I also wonder why you used this example as both pages involved with both the rep and dem at the time were in consensual relationships with Crane and Studds and both were of legal age

And neither one of the congressmen was protected by their parties as you assert - go read some history kid

[Mr. Blue]

Also the Tobias call girl scandal even though I have a feeling a lot of people are going to get caught up in that. The fact remains you're pointing at the Democrats for being hypocritical on the topic of the environment. Now, I don't disagree with that completely. I do think they're hypocritical to some extent.

However, hypocrisy exists on both sides of the isle. When you have Republicans that use call girls, gay interns, etc, etc, and at the same time spout religious conviction and sanctity of marriage...you have to be willing as an adult to admit that they're hypocrites as well.

So, both parties are hypocritical, hell most people are hypocritical regardless of party politics, and suddenly getting shocked at that fact is kind of like discovering the nose on your face...it's not that big of a deal.

Let me get this straight:

Bush and Cheney are fucking war criminals responsible
for the violent mass murders of 600,000 Iraqi civilians...

http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/5366/iraqcarbombvictimsal9.jpg

but you're making an issue out of the fact that
some Democratic candidates aren't jet-pooling?

You sick stupid fuck.

GO TO HELL.

And make no mistake: that's exactly where you're going.
Right along with Little Georgie and Grandpa Cheney.
