Answer 1

Why should they be removed??
Thats a Republican attitude

Answer 2

No, hypocrisy is not a 'political value'! It should be recognized and dealt with by BOTH parties kicking their hypocrites to the curb. I think we'd all be better off and maybe it would stop the 'do as I say, not as I do' politics we have now.
BTW... I really don't care who someone sleeps with as long as it is a consenting adult and they aren't hypocritical about it. For example, if the words say 'anti-gay' and the actions say 'I want some of that', there's a problem and I don't care which party the hypocrite belongs to, kick them to the curb.

Answer 3

Both sides have their hypocrites. There were those who decried the now infamous Bill Clinton tryst with Monica Lewinsky, yet were ready to turn a blind eye to the Congressional Page scandal and this debacle with Sen. Craig. So, what we should do it make sure that we clean up our own skeletons before we complain about the bones in our rival's closet.

Answer 4

the majority of the people calling for Craig to be removed ARE Republicans. Any Congressman found guilty of committing a crime should be removed immediately. They should be held to a higher standard.

By the way, Craig DID plead guilty. Therefore in the eyes of the law, he IS guilty.

Answer 5

Your question has no benefit. flesh presser B and no different flesh presser stated as for flesh presser A to renounce basically over immorality. a minimum of flesh presser B apologized and admitted the affair. If flesh presser A would have basically accomplished a similar and not lied under oath to a grand jury, whilst on a similar time making use of his effective media connections to intimidate and discredit the self sufficient guidance learn, an prolonged, high priced impeachment trial would have been prevented.

Answer 6

Well, it's not just the hypocrisy, but with the way the Dems overlook the corruption in their party, with their "tolerance" meme, they will tolerate everything that goes against God's Laws, and shove everything to do with God's Laws out.

It's what has lead to the downfall of America.

How can we as a Nation govern a people morally whenever we take away the influence of Christianity????

Answer 7

Please turn the radio station.. Rush, Hannity, Beck- just turn the station.. I keep hearing alot about Barney Frank.. how many years ago was that.. can't find anything more recent in the Democrat Party to complain about and compare it too... We must be doing pretty dang good.. for everyone to have to go back to the 80s to try and dig up dirt

Answer 8

Hypocrisy is a favorite charge of those on the left, in part, I think, because the left is fond of moral relativism, and, under moral relativism, something is only really wrong if you say it is - so hypocrisy is the only sin. They can't bash Craig for being gay or for having casual sex, because, to thier minds, those things are perfectly OK - but they can bash him for saying they're not OK, then doing them.

Answer 9

Whatever- take the plank out of your own eye first. Then you can deal with the splinter in the Democrats.

Answer 10

So, you're a hypocrite if you hypocritically accuse somebody of being a hyprocrite. You hypocrite!!!

Answer 11

All you've proven is that both sides are hypocrites. Why do you assume you've somehow won?
