Do the conservatives here just not notice their hypocrisy in attacking Pelosi's trip, or do they not care?

Question

Everyone on this board knows that three Republicans went to Syria also, but all the conservatives seem to conveniently forget to mention that fact.

So, are those posting about Pelosi unable to see their own hypocrisy, or does it just not matter to them?

Answer 1

Newt taught them that many people listen to what they are told and do not bother confusing the issue by having the facts at hand. They know they are hypocrites but think the end justifies the means. They also know most of their party does as they are told, thinks what they are told, and votes as they are told. Plus, they think they are smarter than the "rest of us".

Answer 2

I try to ignore them when they're being stupid, which is most of the time. I think hypocrisy is not limited to the conservatives, but they do excel at it and the Pelosi trip is a perfect example of how it shows up.

Pelosi has now siezed the mantle of the peace broker. It is hers to embrace and use as a weapon against the cynical, greedy losers like Cheney/Rumsfeld. The tide has turned and she is playing her cards perfectly. It has been an excellent trip and she has shown how one week of her diplomacy can accomplish more than Bush did in 2 terms.

For 7 long years we've had a hateful and incompetent leader, with the hypocritical/corrupt support of the Congress. Congress has been recaptured by the peace makers, and we will prevail. The Presidential election of 2008 will be a "Democat" landslide and we can get the country back into the saddle and lead the world honorably again.

Answer 3

It's not hypocrisy. Republicans go in support of America, Pelosi went to undermine America and embolden the enemy. Don't you know anything yet? Facts have no bearing on the whine of the day. To me these kinds of statements are only isolating the GOP even more. It's false and easy to disprove. Speaker Pelosi sent a message to any willing to understand. This President is no longer the do all say all in America, there are now more sane and rational people in Washington. We'll leave greed out of it for now.

Answer 4

Conservatives also don't seem to realize that Syria was helping the US in the war against Al Qaeda before Bush invaded Iraq. They just can't stand the fact that the only way to win the war on terror is with diplomacy, good intelligence work & Speical forces. Not the by using the US military to invade every country that has a few terrorists. Pelosi is fighting the war on terror the way it should be fought but conservatives hate it because they think invasion is the only way to go.

Answer 5

Were the Republicans "representing" the US? Probably not the way Nazi Pelosi was. Maybe that's why we haven't heard about it. If this is the case, there's no hypocrisy.

In her mind, Pelosi was "representing" the US even though the White House told her not to go and she ending up saying things that were not appropriate.

Answer 6

She was undermining established U.S. foreign policy. We DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!

If she thinks she can waltz in and charm the Middle East into peaceful co-existence, she's got a tough term ahead of her.

Trying to make a fool out of our President only feeds the fire that the terrorists kindled. They want Americans to turn on each other. Divide and conquer as they say.

What a rousing call for unity. What a sad statement about the state of our government.

She's an elected official who took irresponsibility to a whole new level.

Answer 7

maximum liberals are not "anti-conflict" their purely against truly stupid wars. the concept that individuals protesting the Iraq conflict have been purely anti conflict fundies has continuously been a simplification from the wonderful who themselves probable do no longer understand the excellence. And as quickly as the Iraq conflict had began it might have been truly irresponsible to drag out in the previous the interest were carried out. specific they did no longer go with to initiate a conflict (that has resulted in a u . s . the place they are presently executing gays en masse and terror remains rampant even with the extensive expenditures of lives and the united stateseconomy by ability of how) yet as quickly as that conflict had began, no longer ending it might have been even worse. And as for Bush employing Clinton era regulations against civil liberties, possibly so, yet he made a extensive volume of his very own that for sure went lots extra than something Clinton had carried out.

Answer 8

These two parties and their continual bickering is leading to the downfall of our nation!!! Bush should be happy that someone is trying to help rather than send Rice over and accomplish nothing. I'm telling you all that the politics in this nation is running wild and it must be throttled back if the country is to survive.

Answer 9

Same goes for the three Republicans. Are the liberals (YOU) just missing the point how wrong it is? When the current administration does not support it for good reason? Open your eyes and quit waaaaaing and whining.

Answer 10

They are just blowing smoke and trying to inflame. But we are smart and don't let it get under our skin because we know that Hassert did the same thing when Clinton was President. He went to Columbia.
