A Little GOP Hypocrisy

I moved the link here from a different post... thanks anonymous...

I found this to be quite amusing, especially O'Reilly's comments on teen pregnancy...

The above is a link to an article showing that Palin and McCain have moved from hypocrisy to out right lies... check it out.

Were you aware that there were 8 edits to the O'Reilly piece to get the result Stewart desired? i did not think so. Why so many believe what the far left wacko's spew is beyond me.

So Anonymous 3:55 are you saying Mr. O'Reilly didn't say Jamie Lynn Spear's Parents couldn't control their child and that they were pin heads?

I don't think anyone thought he made the two totally opposite comments on the same show one after the other...

I find the hypocrisy of the far right quite interesting.

And apparently it has moved on to outright lies... Ms. Palin says repeatedly she never supported the "bridge to nowhere" yet she supported it while a candidate for Gov. and only discounted it when the Fed's told her she could not use the money for the bridge... she did get to keep the "pork" money and use it for other transportation projects... some reformer.

This from the Anchorage Daily News:

In September, 2006, Palin showed up in Ketchikan on her gubernatorial campaign and said the bridge was essential for the town's prosperity.

She said she could feel the town's pain at being derided as a "nowhere" by prominent politicians, noting that her home town, Wasilla, had recently been insulted by the state Senate president, Ben Stevens.

"OK, you've got Valley trash standing here in the middle of nowhere," Palin said, according to an account in the Ketchikan Daily News. "I think we're going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project."

One year later, Ketchikan's Republican leaders said they were blindsided by Palin's decision to pull the plug.

And this from the New Republic:

Here's a piece that Palin's special counsel, John Katz, wrote in March of this year for the Juneau Empire, assuring the Alaskan public that Palin was still very much in favor of earmarks, but sadly needed to scale back her requests somewhat (to "only" 31 earmarks this year—down from 54 last year) in response to "unwanted attention" from Congress and the press.

if you check your favorite websites, daily kos et.al. you will probably find that McCain and Palin planned 9-11.

why cannot liberals use logic? why can't they look at actual records? why can't they look at the totality of what the candidates have actually accomplished?

Mr. Obama has authored 2autobiographies, been a member of a church for 20 years and says he did not know what was going on, been a community organizer, worked his way into politics in Chicago, mostly voted present as a state legislator, served about 170 days before then running for President. His running mate has a lot of Senate and foreign experience, but he has been on the wrong side of every major decision during his decades of expereince. so experience is nothing without judgement.

Why do conservatives approve of lying but only when it is by their candidates? Ms. Palin can be seen on video, stating in her own words that the bridge is needed -- that doesn't sound to me like one who said "no thanks". She's a liar plain and simple!

As Republicans are generally apposed to organized labor, and Ms. Palin is pro-union and her husband is a union member, I wonder what the Republican stance on unions will be this election cycle?

Oh, she'll beleive whatever is politically expedient to believe, she is no maverick... a lemming is a better description.

Why don't you find a new arena C&P dude? You are fighting a lost cause here and are powerless to change anything. You've long ago worn out your welcome.

Removed by Teresa Thiel, what's with that? I'd say you have the right of free speech or is that a senator obama amendment we will hear about after november? Use ACLU.COM.

i was wrong when i stated that Mr. Obama authored two autobiographies. there is proof emerging from studies of writing style, grammar, word usage, and actual content that would seem to indicate william ayers wrote much of obama's book "Dreams From my Father"
just wanted to be accurate.

check it out if you do not beleive.
