The Hypocrisy of the Republicans

After 9/11 if you were against the war you were unpatriotic.

If you did not support Bush on almost everything you were unpatriotic. Everything was 9/11.

How many times did we hear elections have consequences?

Now, it appears they are gearing up to refuse to appoint any judges if Clinton wins.

Their candidate more than likely will refuse to concede & now he refuses to say if he will work with Clinton in any way if she wins.

The republicans who try to straddle the line saying they cannot defend Trump or endorse Trump because of the many abhorrent comments he has made but they will vote for him.

I know there is so much more but I do hope the American people can see how the republican party to me seems to be the most anti-American party, the most anti-Constitution party we have seen in years, if ever.

Remember in the 90s when the President's personal life was very important and any slips meant he was unfit? Now they are supporting someone far worse, on his third wife. Look at what Newtie was doing the whole time he was running his mouth about it.

They have no principles. They just use whatever they think will be dirt against the Democrats. But they don't truly have a problem with whatever it is the Democrat is doing.

I have believed that, and said so, for many years now. Even before 911. Now, many people who thought, way back, that I was being overly dramatic, are saying the same thing. Go figure, huh?

do they think a vote for somebody means? If they vote for Trump over anybody else (or not voting), they ARE endorsing him.


They can *say* that they are voting for him simply because Hillary is worse but they are basically saying that they would rather vote for a creepy old pervert who lacks the temperament to be POTUS than a well-qualified and sane lifelong public servant.
