Bob Allen (R-Florida) Offers Undercover Male Officer $20 to Give Head

Please. I don't think hardly anyone (democrat, republican, whatever) is as morally "pure" as the goofy republican values platform demands.

EDIT: deleted rhetorical and offtopic question.

 

How is it different?

Republican platform is pro-Life. Democrat is not.

Democratic platform is pro-Gay Marriage. Republican is not.

Where are the "demands" of the Republican platform? Disagreement on two issues makes it "goofy?"

What plethora of morality issues are you referring to?

 

Lets backup here as we are getting wildly offtopic.

You are basically upset regarding a generalization of hypocrisy.

Understood.

If the republicans are going to continue to standup and pretend to be the party of traditional family values or whatever, then they will continue to make fools and hypocrites of themselves as scandals such as this come forward.

Does this make them all personally hypocrites? No.

Does it make them look hypocritical as a whole? Yes.

 

I'm not upset; I'm just not going to let you besmirch a whole group based on the actions of one. I reckon that unless someone is registered to another party, you can't keep them out of the Republican party.

Why does the whole look hypocritical because of the one? or two? Remember, the whole is tens of millions wide and deep.

 

Because they judge others for what their own are doing.

Maybe its unfair to call them all hypocrites (only those like Bob Allen are actually technically hypocrites, as in "not practicing what they preach").

But they all certainly look foolish.

 

it is more than one.

what about three, or four, or five?

again, it is the hypocrisy of the republican party, their leaders and their media lackeys.

aside from all the gay stuff (bush, haggert, foley, allen, rudy), we have gingrich having an affair while he is going after clinton for the same thing.

limbaugh is a drug addict who says all people who use drugs illegally should be in prison. he is divorced 3 times, yet rallies on about the santity of 'traditional marriage'.

bill o'reilly write perverted fiction novels about grown men having sex and smoking crack w/ 15 year old girls, yet he portrays himself as mr. conservative.

 

jo mama raises another interesting point:

You say not all of them are hypocrites, yet look at the leaders they keep allowing to come forward!

I mean, I picture some old lady b****ing about "gays takin' over america" who then votes a closet homosexual into office because he mentioned god in a speech somewhere under a republican banner. That's pretty damn hypocritical, if you can't even identify that which you bemoan.

 

the majority of republicans are homosexual and it's the combination of their low self esteem and their pointless attempt to stay in the closet that causes this group hypocrisy. the only true men are the log cabin guys, they aren't afraid to show their true colors.

 

There are many laws with a moral component. Some probably even authored by Democrats. Are they judgmental too?

I'm a pro-Gay Marriage Republican. Does that make me partially judgmental?

I'm not sure why all Republicans look foolish because of one-- other than you want them to. As I tried to insinuate, how do you keep someone from registering for a political party in America?

 

How is it hypocritical if the homosexual was in the closet (and hidden) when she voted for him/her? So now we are hypocrites for not being good enough detectives about the private lives of people we don't even know?

Most (or all) of the fallen leaders fell after they became leaders.

 

You can't. But not all party's are advocating agenda's as wrapped in moral hooey as the republicans. That's a two way street man.

Fine, the group is not responsible for the individuals actions. But they are responsible for coming up with their platforms and ideologies. If those platforms and ideologies are then proven to be counter to what significant authors and proponents of that platform actually do...

Well. I think that group looks the fool.

 

It's certainly one at a time and a handful in toto. What do you mean "it's the hypocrisy of....." Why is John McCain a hypocrite because of what someone else did? Prove McCain knew it and hid it or promoted it and you will have a case.... against McCain but not against Republicans.

Clinton was pursued because he lied under oath before a Grand Jury while Chief Executive Officer of the US.

Liimbaugh and O'Reilly are media problems not political ones because they are not elected.

 

I pointed up two or three issues; did you come up with significantly more?

Any elected official can author legislation. Again what better way to distance ourself from suspicion than to come out of left field. John Wayne Gacy was a performing clown. Who would expect to find thirty-odd young men buried in his crawl space?

 

I think the term "hypocrisy" is being thrown around a little much in this thread.

Bob Allen is a hypocrite. So are a lot of other republicans in this regard.

This does not make _all_ republicans hypocrites. But it makes the party look quite foolish by association.

 

One day we will be attacked by terrorists and no one will be there to pray for us because all the Republicans will be having buttsex with each other!

 

Yes. And most (if not all) legislation of the goofy morality kind is authored by republicans because it's what they perceive their constituents desire. What's your point?

I have no idea where you're going anymore and I am starting to find the dialogue more funny than anything else.

 

I'm on the straight and narrow.

For the third time, what are some other examples of "goofy" morality legislation that Republicans are exclusively responsible for?

 

hey he's doing the cop a favor. that guy can suck the chrome off a bumper.

 

good point. this guy must be butt ugly. too lazy to google him.

 

I don't recall you asking this before of me. What do you mean by "other"?
