Answer 2

Rush Limbaugh is using the services of young boys to pleasure him . He frequents all the places in the world where you can be with children for a fee . This is some how a only harm myself thing .
What if Rush plows is Suv into a group of children crossing the street while he is loaded with his favorite prescription drug will you still call his use not harming anyone really but himself .

I have long stated that rush is a liberal in conservative clothing making fun of the ignorant conservatives and making a terrific living off them .
The great part about all this is they are to stupid to get whats happening right in front of them .

Its like in school when the teacher is explaining the relationship between fractions and percentages and that look comes over the faces of half a dozen kids that have reached the pinnacle of understanding and can go no further .

Its sad to see so many people who believe they are smart and can understand whats going on ,only to realize that they have no clue at all .

Answer 3

Both parties are replete with hypocrites. How exactly does the "global warming hype" harm people? How is that more harmful than the Bush administration's vow to weed out and crack down on media leaks, and then turn around and leak Plame? Or, more importantly, how is the hypocracy of vowing to bring honesty and respectability back to the White House and then lying about WMD's as a justification to go to war and have a bunch of kids killed in Iraq less harmful than talking about global warming?

Pointing out hypocracy is important, but get your facts straight first.

Answer 4

it has to be the dems, when you have millionaires saying they are there to help the little guy by taxing the little guy that is a bigger hypocrite, and then you look a little deeper and see they only pay 14% tax on their own income, remember this when you hear them rant about tax cuts for the rich,

rep believe in killing terrorists and criminal, however dems think we need to show compassion for all murderers but its ok to kill babies, after all its your "choice"

dems also believe its ok to vote for funding a war while condemning it publicly, and some how believe they can support the troops while hoping they loose the war,

and don't forget al gore invented the internet

Answer 5

If as I'm sure you would contend Global warming doesn't exist, how does Al Gore's hypocrisy hurt anyone?

As far as the Republicans go, my favorite is the Tom Foley scandal where comes out against gay marriage ban then comes on to a 16 year old boy.

That's classic.

Answer 6

The GOP. Look at Ted Haggard and Mark Foley-who had led a crusade against online predators and came up with new laws protecting minors on the internet. Talk about hypocrisy.

Answer 7

Democrats. Hands down.

Answer 8

I think they are both equally hypocritical. Politicians have to have a qualification in hypocrisy - goes with the job. It's all about Power.

Answer 9

Grow up and face the reality that everyone is capable of being a hypocrite given circumstances, mate.

Answer 10

I get the idea that you are a Republican trying to hide now because you lost control of Congress and because the so called war on terror is out of control and Bush is not a popular president...The poster and eyeinthedrk are obviously in the dark...
