Let's see now.
John Edwards cheats on his cancer stricken wife and he's horrible (Which he is), but newt gingrich serves a wife divorce papers in the ICU and he's rising in the polls for their nomination.
Anthony weiner sexts a picture of his underwear covered dingus and he's OUT, but david vitter gets whole hearted support for an unfortunately successful re-election campaign.
President Clinton gets a blow job from a consenting adult and he's impeached, but herman cain sexually assaults women. The revelations of this have no effect on his standing with the rethug primary voters unless it's to improve it, and the audience boos his being questioned about it in a debate while the other candidates are as silent as the p in phony. Let's not forget that the frequently divorced and remarried Mr. gingrich was cheer leading Clinton's impeachment while reportedly accepting only blow jobs from his flings so he can "legitimately" say he didn't have sex with the other women.
And, going to non-public figures, I hear from many religious rightists that GLBT people shouldn't be allowed to marry because of "my religious convictions and beliefs". And WE'RE close minded.
You're a godless commie if you believe in peace, love and acceptance, but you're a "good christian" if you hate gays & minorities and love guns and wars. Let's also remember that the Vietnam era war protesters who walked up to National Guard rifles and put flowers in the barrels AFTER Kent State were "cowards".
I'm can't be surprised that they still claim to be the party of "values" because one thing we've learned is the high level of rethug chutzpah (spelling?). I'm can't be surprised that a bought and paid for corporate media that spent so much of 8 years glorifying george w bush still allows this. I AM, however, still very capable of being very pissed off by the hypocrisy.
I am very verbal when I'm pissed off.
WE have to be the media!
PEACE!
