Memo to Chris Matthews: Yes, both parties have people who are flawed

[WI_DEM]

and have committed adultry. But the difference is the democratic party doesn't present itself as the moral party, the pro-family party and the defenders of marriage between a man and woman party. When they get caught they come across as the hypocrites they are.

1. Yeah, that and we persecute our flawed people into complete oblivion. n/t

[Libertyfirst]

6. Hell, we persecute our non-flawed people into oblivion. n/t

2. exactly.... it is the hypocrisy

republicans are quite quick to judge others and tell them how to behave.
they need to take a big swallow of shut the fuck up.

3. The Dems don't pretend to be the "gatekeepers"...

...holding up their morality as the one standard by which all citizens are expected to follow. Big difference, isn't there?

4. At least this was brought up on The Ed Show

That exact point: the Democrats aren't trying to position themselves as the righteous, "family values" party. When you build your whole identity on your piety and purity, and repeatedly your leaders are caught almost literally with their pants down, you have no moral leg to stand on.

Hmmm. Sounds like the outcome of a certain illegal war we're involved in. Another Republican affair. Makes you wonder what the fuck is going on in these people's heads when it becomes okay to destroy your own family, destroy entire countries, while they're preaching day in and day out that all of us evil liberals are going to something they call "hell." Really makes you wonder.

Perhaps being a Republican is a mental illness?

5. He made that point to Blackwell over and over and over

[Left Is Write]

7. Yes, that was Chris's own point.

8. It's their postering as the "defenders of marriage" bullshit that infuriates me the most

These people act like denying gay people the RIGHT (and it is a RIGHT) to marriage is imperative to preserving the "sanctity of marriage", but you can hardly find a Republican who isn't busy breaking their marriage vows! It's the hypocrisy that kills me, and it's why I have no sympathy for any Repug caught cheating.
