Al Gore is fearmongering by telling Americans that global warming will kill us all, yet he:
-lives in a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville
-according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences
-Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock.(Oxy has been mired in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas. )

I'm sure you have all heard John Edwards' speech about a rich and a poor America...
Kind of funny when you consider that he:
-pays $400 for a haircut. In fact, one of the places where had his hair done is described on its Web site as "a unique boutique for the mind, body and face" that caters mostly to women.

Does liberal hypocrisy never end?

No it never ends. We have a liberal media which refuses to acknowledge the fact the liberals are really screwed up. They prefer to blame Bush and the conservatives for every problem in America. I'd give the bigger hypocrite award to Gore. He claims to be really concerned about the environment and global warming, but won't change the way he lives to benefit it. I remember a senator challenging him to change his lifestyle to only consume the power an average American does. He only asked this of his residence, not of his travel or any other applications. Gore kept interrupting him and cutting him off, as if he didn't want the public to know of his hypocrisy. I heard a fact that he consumes 20 times more electricity at his home than an average American household. That isn't counting all of his travel. He wins this, but Edwards isn't far behind.

I don't care for Al Gore or John Edwards, but these examples fall short of something. Every single candidate for President is rich, rich beyond most of our wildest dreams. Yet they all say, even the Republicans, that the poor need to be given a step up in this country. So I don't see the hypocrisy from just liberals, but from all of them if we're going to look at it that way.

No, it won't ever end. We have a media that will not hold them responsible or even take a close look at them.
I have an extremely difficult time figuring out what they did to Edwards hair for $400. Regardless, it speaks volumes that he would pay that for a hair cut.
Al Gore is a joke, but a joke that is being shoved down our throats. I find it odd that the Bible is banned in our schools, but the world according to Gore "An Inconvenient Truth" is required reading in many classrooms. Perfect sense, don't allow the Creator but allow Gore.

So far, I would have to say than Al Gore has stuck his foot in his mouth much more than John Edwards has.
I could be blind, but I truly think John Edwards believes in what he stands for...a quality not found too much in Washington any more. (that doesn't mean I agree w/what he believes in or that I would vote for him)
Gore on the other hand just floats around on whatever popular ticket he can ride on.
Have a good weekend!

I think Al has John beat hands down. Al has been preaching his global warming hysteria for a lot longer,and a lot louder all the while living the life of a true energy hog. And he really is more dangerous,if John Edwards implemented some of his ideas he just puts us deeper in debt, if Al gets his ideas put in practice our economy flat out crumbles.

I'd have to go with Gore--don't forget he also flies around in a private jet, putting more CO2 in the air than a whole bunch of SUVs.

You're absolutely correct but the libbys will deny everything, repeat the same lies, quiver with impotent outrage, and stamp their feet while pointing their fingers at Bush in an effort to divert attention from the overwhelming hypocracy of the Democrats.

Don't forget:
Gore owns a lot of stock in the company that sells the Carbon offset credits!!
Edwards had a 28,000 sq. ft. mansion valued in the millions built not to long ago!
Edwards worked for a hedge fund recently, which gets rich billionaires richer, when he could have worked for a mutual fund, which can benefit anyone from rich to poor!

WOW a question that REALLY makes me ponder...
They are BOTH huge hypocrites but they learned from the MASTER Bill Clinton. Liberals now know they can GET AWAY WITH ALL HYPOCRISY IF they just tell us what they think we WANT TO HEAR. Bill could tell liberals ANYTHING and they would and still do believe him...unbelievable!
I am for all that is good and against all that is bad...then they just do what THEY WANT to do.

No. My favorite is all the stupid gore quotes on the media research center.
1. He is a good 'ol boy farmer who grew and picked tobbaco on his daddy's farm.
2. Then, he stormed around telling everyone how bad tobacco was, and how it killed his sister with lung cancer.
Now hillary clinton is a raging Christian.
The people who vote for these bozos are dumber than the bozos themselves!
