Do Dems really believe what they say or are they aware of their hypocrisy and distortions of the truth?

Question

Hook In Mouth!

Answer 1

Liberalism is a mental disorder. So to answer your question we would have to also answer the question, "do insane people know they are insane?"

Answer 2

Interesting you can not even offer an example. That shows how bias YOU are.
Politicians ALL distort the truth and tell lies, it is in the nature of their job. However, some make it a personal lifestyle! And some lies are rather "innocent" and others are dangerous, infringe on human rights and civil liberties and cost lives! You should ask the Republican party: nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, illegal spying on the public, secret and not so overseas prisons were "suspects" are tortured without the benefit of an accusation, trial or legal rep, "Mission accomplished!", "the war is in its last throws!", and the latest cover up when one of the boys in the group in a pedophile!
BUAH...excuse me, I was throwing up...

Answer 3

Sorry, but you've got Reps and Dems confused.

WMD: Bush now admits there were none, but Chain-ey still says there were.

Hussein & 9/11: Bush now admits that he had nothing to do with it, but Chain-ey still says he did.

Hussein & Al Queda: Bush now admits that there was no link, but Chain-ey still says there was.

Talk about confusion within the ranks!

BTW, I was a life-long Rep until a couple of years ago. No more, though. The party has been gutted. Reagan and Eisenhower are spinning in their graves.

Answer 4

I'm sure most are aware of all the hypocrisy and distortions. It's politics. There is no such things as politics without hypocrisy and distortion. It's the nature of leaders, if not for those vices, they couldn't lead.

Answer 5

It is the same for both parties. I don't believe a word either one has to say sometimes. We need to get back to the issues and agenda of the USA, this mud slinging is taking people away from the issues

Answer 6

I find it foolish for you to sit behind a computer and accuse Democrats of distorting the truth, while never looking at the Republicans who do the same. Hypocrasy yes, from you.

Answer 7

They sit at the feet of the Masters of Deception. Also known as the Republican Party

Answer 8

speaking of lies read this testimony from Galloway to the U.S. Senate.
"Now, Senator, I gave my heart and soul to oppose the policy that you promoted. I gave my political life's blood to try to stop the mass killing of Iraqis by the sanctions on Iraq which killed one million Iraqis, most of them children, most of them died before they even knew that they were Iraqis, but they died for no other reason other than that they were Iraqis with the misfortune to born at that time. I gave my heart and soul to stop you committing the disaster that you did commit in invading Iraq. And I told the world that your case for the war was a pack of lies.

“I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning.

"Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

If the world had listened to Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to President Chirac who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the anti-war movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth.

"Have a look at the real Oil-for-Food scandal. Have a look at the 14 months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first 14 months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but the money of the American taxpayer.

"Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where? Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it.

"Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government."

Answer 9

That is a difficult question to answer. To believe they do one would have to figure they were complete and utter morons, if they don't believe it they are hypocrites.
