You Liberals think Conservatives are Hypocrites?

Question

You spent the 80's tryinging to get every guy fired who ever chose to asked out a female coworker (and you call yourselves 'prochoice'). Then you spent most of the 90's defending Clinton for sexually harassment. You want to ban cigarettes after spending the 60's smoking pot. You say Bush wont admit to mistakes but you've never admitted you were wrong when you said (in the 60s and 70s) there would be mass starvation by 2000 or the Iraq oil fires would take years to put out then they were put out in less than 3 months.
You call Conservative Hypocrits which demonstates you dont understand the meaning of the word. Making a mistake is not hypocrisy unless you criticise others for doing the same thing. Correction is not critism. If a parent who smokes teaches a child not to smoke, thats not hypocrasy. Its called compassion. "dont do what I've done before you get addicted".

telling me to back up what i say but I dont see any of you providing facts to back up what you say.

I'm suppose to prove the entire 60's through to 2003? I guess the drugs effected your memory worse then I thought.

Answer 1

I think everybody is a hypocrite
Liberals
Conservatives
Me
and
You

And you don't give and reason to support why conservatives are not hypocrites, all you give is an example of a mom who could be Liberal for all you know. If you make a claim, back it up with facts buddy


How can I back up what I say if I am not providing any facts?
I can't back up my OPINION with facts

Answer 2

Firstly, I'm not a liberal or a conservative.

The contrasts offered in your question are inappropriate. The first one regarding spending the 80s trying to get every guy fired who ever asked out a female coworker while defending Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky issue confuses the fact that the former was about protecting women from sexual harrassment on the job while the latter was about protecting democracy from a right-wing coup attempt. The relationship that you attached doesn't really exist.

The next one regarding cigarrettes and pot is also inapporpriate. My pot-smoking friends all had wealthy, conservative parents. The linking of liberals and pot is only your own subjective preference. Nobody, other than the cigarrette manufactures believe that cigarrettes are anything other than a detriment to society. It's not a liberal vs. conservative issue.

I never heard anyone say that there would be mass starvation by 2000. That can only be an obscure reference. And as for the oil fires taking years to put out, I only heard that once or twice and that was on the mainstream, corporate-owned media. I have no idea who said it, but I listen to a lot of liberal publicly owned radio, and I read a lot of liberal magazines and I've never seen that promoted as any kind of "liberal" issue.

As for the Bush agenda, It isn't that Bush has made "mistakes" that bothers lliberals rather it is that Bush is involved in criminal acts at home and abroad in pursuit of ever-greater wealth for America's ruling elite.

Answer 3

TOTALLY! However, the easiest thing in the world, is to point at the other guy, claim he's a hypocrite, walk away like you have never made a mistake, and pretend that somehow you are a great person! My boss does it everyday! The Government does it night and day! The church does it every Sunday and Wednesday! The cops do it 24/7! And we do it to each other every chance we get! So, what's the answer dear readers???? Get HUMBLE and admit that we're all screwed up???? Or wait till we push the buttons, and turn this planet into a big charcoal briquette?????

Answer 4

.You paint your picture with a wide brush. You say liberals like you mean all liberals. Mistakes in estimates are often made by many people. Using inflammatory terms in a different context than is common usage is cute but fails to convey the idea that you know what your talking about. The continents of Africa, Asia, South America are rife with starving whole countries like Sudan and Darfur, Chile and India and there are many isolated areas on every continent. Tobacco is 10 times as addictive as Cannabis. It was a Republican led senate that acquitted Clinton. Name calling is disingenuous. You're smarter than that.

Answer 5

In a word, yes. Are you going to vote for another fiscal conservative to get us out of the debt this fiscal conservative got us into?

Answer 6

it is obvious that you are a victim of the right-wing blow-hards trying to demonize liberals any way they can.
could you please provide links that supports anything you just stated?
people like you would blame liberals for oil companies poisoning our oceans, if your propagandists could find some way to point the finger at them.

<< Making a mistake is not hypocrisy unless you criticise others for doing the same thing.>>
you mean like Rush and his ilk bashing all opposing ideas as the "pot head hippies" while abusing synthetic heroin??

Answer 7

Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972. Pew surveys since 1991 also show a partisan gap on happiness; the current 16 percentage point gap is among the largest in Pew surveys, rivaled only by a 17 point gap in February 2003.
Could it be that Republicans are so much happier now because their party controls all the levers of federal power? Not likely. Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.
For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies, and as small as a three and five percentage point edge in various years of the Reagan and first Bush presidencies. Also, we should explain here a bit about how our survey questionnaire was constructed. The question about happiness was posed at the very beginning of the interview, while the question about political affiliation was posed at the back end, along with questions about demographic traits. So respondents were not cued to consider their happiness through the frame of partisan politics. This question is about happiness; it is not a question about happiness with partisan outcomes.
Of course, there's a more obvious explanation for the Republicans' happiness edge. Republicans tend to have more money than Democrats, and -- as we've already discovered -- people who have more money tend to be happier.
But even this explanation only goes so far. If one controls for household income, Republicans still hold a significant edge: that is, poor Republicans are happier than poor Democrats; middle-income Republicans are happier than middle-income Democrats, and rich Republicans are happier than rich Democrats.
Might ideology be the key? It's true that conservatives, who are more likely to be Republican, are happier than liberals, who are more likely to be Democrats. But even controlling for this ideological factor, a significant partisan gap remains. Conservative Republicans are happier than conservative Democrats, and moderate/liberal Republicans are happier than liberal Democrats. Hmmm, what other factors might be at play? Well, there's always...
