Typical Republican Hypocrisy

“AUSTIN, Texas -- The federal law President Bush signed to prolong Terri Schiavo's life in Florida appears to conflict with a Texas law he signed as governor, attorneys familiar with the legislation said Monday.

“Flip flopping is not the same as hypocricy. In fact, it's not hypocricy at all.”

“Wasn't Mr. Kerry famous for that?”

“USA, if sarge says its so its so...lol”

“He is a WARTIME PRESIDENT now. Anything that happened before 9-11 doesn't count.”

“Sarge is right - changing your mind is different than hypocrisy.”

“i like to hike”

“I dream of hiking but with 90 hours of OT this month it remains a dream.”

“I like to hike too. I am out of shape, my back is killing me, don't know why, my other knee hurts, and I have a 1 month old.

Forget it.”

““i like to hike”

Hey! Me too! Who'd a thunk there'd be two of us on the same site that likes to hike? Where's your favorit place to go in Indiana?”

“Anywhere there is a trail that cuts throught the woods”

“CANYON LAKE, Texas — A family tragedy unfolding in a Texas hospital in 1988 was a private ordeal — without judges, emergency sessions of Congress or the raging debate outside Terri Schiavo's Florida hospice.

The patient was a 65-year-old drilling contractor, badly injured in a freak accident at his home. Among family members standing vigil at Brooke Army Medical Center was a grieving junior congressman — Rep. Tom DeLay, R- Texas.

More than 16 years ago, far from the political passions that have defined the Schiavo controversy, the DeLay family endured its own wrenching, end-of-life crisis. The man in a coma, kept alive by intravenous lines and a ventilator, was DeLay's father, Charles Ray DeLay.

Tom DeLay waited all but helpless for the verdict of doctors.

Today, as House majority leader, he has teamed with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to champion political intervention in the Schiavo case. DeLay pushed emergency legislation through Congress to shift the legal case from Florida state courts to the federal judiciary.

And he is among the strongest advocates of keeping the woman, who doctors say has been in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years, connected to her feeding tube. DeLay has denounced Schiavo's husband, as well as judges, for committing what he calls "an act of barbarism" in removing the tube.

In 1988, however, there was no such fiery rhetoric as the congressman joined the sad family consensus to let his father die.

"There was no point to even really talking about it," Maxine DeLay, 81, the congressman's mother, recalled last week. "There was no way he (Charles) wanted to live like that. Tom knew, we all knew, his father wouldn't have wanted to live that way."

Doctors advised that he would "basically be a vegetable," said the congressman's aunt, JoAnne DeLay.

When the man's kidneys failed, the DeLay family decided against connecting him to a dialysis machine. "Extraordinary measures to prolong life were not initiated," said his medical report, citing "agreement with the family's wishes." His chart carried the instruction: "Do Not Resuscitate."

On Dec. 14, 1988, the senior DeLay "expired with his family in attendance."
[...]
Charles Ray DeLay died at 3:17 a.m., his death certificate says, 27 days after the accident.

The family then turned to lawyers. A wrongful-death suit against the distributor and maker of a coupling that the DeLays said caused the tram to hurtle out of control thrust the congressman into decidedly unfamiliar territory. He since has taken a leading role in reining in trial lawyers to protect business from what he calls "frivolous, parasitic lawsuits" that raise insurance premiums and "kill jobs."
[...]
Today, Maxine DeLay acknowledges questions that compare her family's decision in 1988 to the Schiavo conflict today with a slight smile. "It's certainly interesting, isn't it?"

“Vileman, you truely are vile.


"In 1988, however, there was no such fiery rhetoric as the congressman quietly joined the sad family consensus to let his father die."

Key difference, is "family". All involved agreed to pull the plug.
In the current case, only the husband wants her to die.

Your hate of anything Repub borders on insanity.”

“Pointing out complete hypocrisy is hateful?

Why do you hate the truth?.”

“I'm sorry you can't tell the difference.”

“Michael Schiavo is merely honoring his wife’s wishes as expressed to him and others who have testified numerous times, just like the DeLay family honored his father's wishes.

DeLay wants to shield incompetent doctors (and others) from lawsuits like his own family filed and won.

See any hypocrisy there?

“I think this thread should be changed to the "Typical Cut and Paste" thread...”

“vioLIN - I hope you don't "hate the truth" here ...

http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/

Speaking of hypocricy .....”

“wow, sarge does realize there are other threads =)”

“Oh he hates the truth all right! LOL!”

“Truth, is a 'relative' term to the Vileman.”

“but I will make several points. This woman in Florida was not on any life support system other than a feeding tube. Her kidneys and other vital organs were functioning ok until the other day. Not sure what is happening after nine days without water.
>
I don't what the hangup is of this husband for just letting the mother and father have full custody of the woman. If the woman is brain dead as claimed then she won't know what is going on. Also there is no living will or other document for proof that this woman would rather die than be in a vegetative state. Bush and/or Republicans have the right to err on the "side of life."
>
Also it is curious that the man wants the no autopsy and the body cremated after death. There have been charges that this man may be responsible for the woman's vegetative state. The state of Florida should do an autopsy.”

“SH, just go to the thread about her and read. It will answer your questions

“NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A state senator sponsoring a constitutional amendment aimed at "solemnizing the relationship of one man and one woman" is accused in a divorce case of cheating on his wife.


State Sen. Jeff Miller, a Republican from Cleveland, is accused of "inappropriate marital conduct" in a divorce complaint filed Feb. 25 in Bradley County.
[...]
"He is very hypocritical, fighting for the sanctity of marriage and not keeping his own," the senator's wife of 15 years, Bridgitte Suzanne Miller, said in a report in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
[...]
The senator's wife said Wednesday her husband was involved with a woman in Nashville. She said family members saw him with the woman at a Martina McBride concert.

"He told them that she was just a friend," Ms. Miller said. "That really bothered me."

The state Senate approved Miller's marriage protection amendment Feb. 22. In addition to defining marriage as "the historical institutional and legal contract solemnizing the relationship of one man and one woman," it would also forbid state recognition of same-sex marriages.

Miller stopped an attempt to include a constitutional ban on adultery in the amendment.

“DALLAS, April 18 — A supporter of President Bush is suing the Republican National Committee and one of its suppliers, claiming they stole his design for the ubiquitous ''W'' bumper sticker logo in the 2004 campaign.”

“In an Internet chat room last New Year’s Eve where he discussed his recent date with an 18-year-old man, Spokane Mayor Jim West criticized the “sex Nazis” who try to regulate private sexual behavior.

For years, that’s exactly what West tried to do in Olympia.

Over two decades, West rose to power in the Washington Legislature with a carefully cultivated image as a fiscally conservative Republican opposed to gay rights, abortion rights and teenage sex.
[...]
In a wide-ranging interview Wednesday night, West acknowledged he’d recently begun to seek out young men on the Internet and said he couldn’t explain why. “I don’t want to go into the whole issue, but I wouldn’t characterize me as ‘gay,’.” West said.
[...]
“I saw people like West when I was a prosecuting attorney,” said (James) Duree, (a former Pacific County prosecutor and Democrat). “These people who were so goosy towards sex.….. They’re the ones you’ve got to watch,” he added.

“Sound like a couple of people around here?

“18-year-old boys, eh?




Where's bacpac today?”

“West truly represents GOP family values.”

“How is this Republican hypocrisy? Has ANY republican come out and defended his behavior?

Now if this was a democrat, you'd be saying "what's the big deal, it's only sex?"”

“Was that suppose to be a response to my comment or do you just like saying that?”

“Now ya done did it Violin. Explain hypocrisy to the kid!”

“hypocrisy:

n 1: an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction [syn: lip service] 2: insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have”

“You geniuses are disturbed by his hypocracy? Good grief, if the reports are true, hypocracy is the least of the issues. He's a sleeze ball and a criminal.”

“Kripes NoProb, you talk about geniuses, read the word on the thread title and maybe you could spell it right, and then maybe somebody would take what you say seriously.”

“I guess when you can't say anything intelligent you can pick on my spelling. That's ok. I can improve my spelling, I think you are pretty much stuck with being wrong.”

“Well, maybe he was genuinely opposed to sex between consenting adults of the same sex?”

“i hate to side with a troll, but cant ya find something other than minor spelling mistakes to razz the guy about?”

“Pastor's Problematic Past
WRIGHTSVILLE, PA-May 12, 2005 — A pastor running for mayor pleaded guilty in federal court in 1996 to a felony count relating to solicitation of nude photographs in an advertisement in a swingers' magazine.
That may disqualify Stephen David Rambler, pastor of Heritage International Assembly Church on the Rock, officials said.

"My gut reaction is he would be disqualified from holding office," District Attorney Stan Rebert said. Rebert said someone would have to file a complaint with John Scott, director of elections, and the district attorney's office would investigate.

The state Constitution says conviction of any "infamous crime" disqualifies a person from holding office in Pennsylvania, including municipal officials, Scott said.

Rambler was accused by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in 1995 of soliciting sexually explicit photos in an ad then trying to extort $50 from respondents to keep from making their letters and photos public. He pleaded guilty to a charge of mailing threatening communications and received a sentence of two years probation and a $550 fine.

"I do have a past," Rambler said. "I took full responsibility for the things I did wrong in my life. I know I made mistakes and learned from them."

Rambler is the only Republican seeking the nomination for mayor. The only Democrat, Council President Dawn L. Lindeman, said, "I don't think it's proper for me to comment on that because I am running against him."

“White House denies CIA leak
AM - Tuesday, 30 September , 2003 08:14:12
Reporter: John Shovelan
LINDA MOTTRAM: The White House has denied claims that it leaked the name of a CIA agent, a Federal offence that attracts 10 years in prison, in the latest fallout from the war in Iraq.

It's claimed that it was a bid to damage the credibility of the agent's husband, himself a senior US official, who was a strong critic of the intelligence used as the basis for invading Iraq.

But the US President, George W. Bush, is refusing to conduct any internal investigations, despite numerous reports that two of his officials rang around journalists to reveal the agent's name.



Newsweek has announced that it was indeed the king of scumbags KARL ROVE !!!

“"Rove has carefully chosen his words when questioned about the leak. "I didn't know her name. I didn't leak her name," he told CNN last year when asked if he had had anything to do with it."”
