Conservatives I don't get this, care to explain?

Question

Rep.Bob Allen of Florida was recently arrested on charges that he offered $20.00 to an undercover Police Officer for oral sex.. . .

Congressman Foley was "ousted" for liking young men. . .

46 Republican Politicians are convicted Pedophiles. . .

The Republican Log Cabins are a gay organization. . .

Here is what I don't understand. . .
Your Party is famous for "thumping" the Bibles under your arms, furthermore throwing it in the "Political Arena."


Your Party has many "famous Preacher's" on TV, denouncing Homosexuality.

What gives with all the above?? How do you explain all the hycrocrisy?

I'm aware the Democrats have their share of "odd" Politicians, but yet they're not the Party who runs around promoting the Bible, and making judgments on how you should live, as your's, what gives??

Coragryph, A "Hundred"? I think you're being a tad naive. . .
Just the Log Cabins has thousnads of members. They have committee's in 50 states. I only gave an "example."

Veleno45 This was not to be a "Republican versus Democrats." I already admitted that Democrat's have their "share."
Your Party sends mixed messages. "Who" does the American voter listen to regarding the Conservative "beleif?"

I can see by reading responses, some of you are having a difficult time comprehending the question.
I wish you would get off your soap box, and reread the question. I'm not trying to be "tricky or nasty", I think I'm asking a legitimate question.
Remember it is the Republican Party that preaches, "mortality" with Bibles under their arms.

Sorry mark D, there was "no error" regarding the knowledge that the "Preachers & Republican Party" would love to see the Log Cabins go away. Who is not aware of that information??

C'mon, "why" can't anyone "understand" this question??? All you do is rant and rave about Democrats. How much more "Simple Simon" do I have to get??? There must be at least "one" Conservative "adult" out there who gets the question!!

Answer 1

Liberals tend to only tolerate deviants who agree with them. If you practiced what you preached, you'd understand that some people are weak and need serious help. Just because they call themselves Republican does not mean we condone their actions.

Answer 2

Do you think someone's popping out Republicans or Democrats with a cookie cutter?

Every choice about which party to affiliate with involves some trade offs for most people. In fact, if East Coast and West Coast Democrats didn't control the party, I'd probably belong to the Democratic Party - Senators like Ken Salazar and Ben Nelson are pretty good, as are governors like Bill Richardson and Janet Napolitano.

Admittedly, the last few years the folks on the extreme right have have gained enough power in the Republican Party to make being Republican as distasteful as being Democrat, but there's still a wide variety of people in both parties.

Answer 3

There is no good explanation for the actions of these people. But in every group you will have your share of hypocrites who like to talk the talk but wont walk the walk. Look at Gore flying privates jets around the world to talk about global warming. Same thing. Do we really think Michael Moore, if faced with a life or death situation, would fly to Cuba? Both Clintons speak about the rich have to many tax shelters and they are going to lead the way in change. Yet their taxes, which they made public, had a ton of tax shelters and write offs. Many politicians just spout what they think their voters want to hear, and thats it. Remember also that not all Republican politicians agree with the party line on homosexuality. Guliani for one sways from the party on social issues, as does Governor Ah-nold. Please dont believe that Democrats don't make judgements on how we should live. You may be speaking of a certain issue such as homosexuality, but I feel way more pressed by the Dems than I do by the Reps. Dems force politcal correctness, they push social programs, they push socialized medicine, restrictions on financial institutions, restrictions on capitalism, etc etc. Which boils down to making judgements on how you should live. It is always different when looking through someone elses eyes.

Answer 4

One of your glaring errors is in the fact that you assume that the Log Cabin Republicans get along with and feel very comfortable sharing a "big tent" with the evangelical preachers. Log Cabin Republicans is indeed a gay organization with thousands of members -- nearly all of whom would like to kick the evangelicals out of the "big tent." Conversely, the evangelicals will have nothing to do with the Log Cabin Republicans.

Answer 5

"you will desire to tension the ladies individuals to have a toddler she would not want, yet as quickly as the toddler is born, you will desire to care much less in the event that they have been given healthcare or not?" no one is forcing a woman to have a toddler, it incredibly is the organic results of having intercourse and getting pregnant. in case you bounce out of an airplane, no one is forcing you to break into the floor at 120mph, it incredibly is the organic results of your action. even although that's immoral to homicide yet another guy or woman to maintain your self from the end results of strikes you selected. opposition to abortion has not something to do with the mum, she made her decision. that's all approximately saving the lifestyles of an harmless baby. And sure, we do care in the event that they get well being care, we basically care that one citizen would not have their components stolen to pay for it. "using fact healthcare is a "privilege," and not a staggering?" well being care is a provider, like an oil replace. It would not inherently exist. some human would desire to take time and attempt to verify the mandatory skills. If there at the instant are not any docs, there is not any well being care. not something is a staggering if the only way you will get that's in the process the hard artwork of yet another. "Do detrimental working women individuals not deserve healthcare, basically such as you assert?" They deserve what each and every human merits: what they have earned. "You adult men call your self professional-lifestyles?" sure, we don't want to homicide harmless babies. should you help your fellow guy? sure. should you do it out of affection and charity, or using fact the government places a gun on your face and forces you? Ask any rape sufferer what the version is while you're too stupid to understand. all of us make alternatives. allowing a mom to homicide her very own baby to flee the outcomes is basically user-friendly evil.

Answer 6

Well, you liberals are so TOLERANT, I'm sure you can understand. So basically, you're admitting that a married Democrat with children, who cheats on his wife with another man, is LESS GUILTY than the Republican one? Because that is certainly how it gets treated in the media.

You are implying that conservatives are not disgusted by their own sinners...which is simply not the case. Mark Foley is no longer in office, is he? The Preachers who are caught in affairs aren't pastoring churches anymore, are they? We practice what we preach, not cover up and gloss over. What is hypocritical is that you Democrats restore those people to power, as if there are no consequences to moral failings.

You'll notice that we Republicans get rid of our hypocrites. You Democrats are the ones that embrace them. I would keep my eye on the Bob Allen thing and watch his committee chairmanship wither and die and his power removed from him if he doesn't resign.

Answer 7

Not all Republicans think alike. Just like not all democrats think alike.

The 4 basic Republican principles are

1. Smaller government
2. Lower taxes
3. Personal responsibility
4. Strong national defense

Answer 8

I could never explain all that to you. I still try to figure it out myself. I mean just because I agree more with the conservative side doesnt mean I stand for any of that nor agree! Nor does that mean that I support Bush 100% of the time. Why are Clinton and Obama both liberals and say we shoul dunite but they are at each other's throat? That make's no sense to me at all? Why are father's in the Catholic church behaving badly with young boys? That doesnt mean that I doesnt mean that all Catholics are into the same gross desires. Also, I have a lot of friends thatw ould consider themselves Republicans and conservative. We make tons of donations and help other people and we do feel that follwoing the way of the bible and involving the bible in polotics in a way that satisfys our life, but it is NOBODY's place to judge!! To be honest, my "Liberal" friends are the MOST harsh on judging and demanding and pointing out and being critical of everything. That's just my experience.

Answer 9

OK? you mentioned what the Conservatives did.

Now list what the Liberals did. Then lets compare.

Come to think of it what could have been worse than to have oral sex done in the Oval Room?

Go figga that on out.

Answer 10

There are always exceptions to any general rule.

Of the roughly 100 million conservatives, you've mentioned about a hundred who go against the base-line morality that the party promotes.

Don't blame the entire movement just because some individuals don't practice what they preach.
