What they say and what they do are worlds apart.
Where does one begin?

They say they are patriotic and ,unlike us stand up for America.But they cannot or will not serve this country's armed forces in times of war.

Their children never need to fight our wars;ours do.

They instigate wars without giving us any valid resons or letting full debates on the issues.If they do, the information they give us turn out to be lies.

They never forget to tell us to lead moral lives;but they commit adultery,indulge in the most despicable acts of cowardice and illegality.

They throw our kids in jail for years for possession of a few ounces of marijuana while their children who indulge in hard drugs like heroin or cocaine get off with a slap on the wrist.

They tell us that in America any body can get rich while denying funds for school loans,encouraging outsourcing of jobs and giving tax breaks for comapnies that locate outside the country.

We will wind up with heavy penalties for small mistakes in our tax returns while they get off scot-free for years of manipulation of their tax returns.Or for not filing their returns at all.

They tell us that abortions should be made illegal and make our children pay for youthful indiscretions with a life of poverty and hopelessness. They are able to send their children to first rate abortion clinics abroad.

They want to gut the heart of the Medicare and Medicaid programs leaving the elderly without good health care or prescription drugs.They have access to the best medical care in the world courtesy of their corporations or the government.

They tell us to practice abstinence as a way to avoid STD's;while they indulge in extra marital and risky sexual practices with available sexual prophylactics.

They tell public schools to avoid teaching Evolution,the foundation of our biological sciences.While their children in private schools are not required to limit themselves to the religious mumbo-jumbo that passes for science education.

They want sure bets for themsleves in business like no bid government contracts while they preach the virtues of Free Enterprise to us involving high risk.

When all else fails,they resort to the born again ruse;they are forgiven.

They preach the virtues of Democracy and Freedom while making every effort to undermine these very things at home through manipulated elections, disenfranchisement,voter intimidation and,of course, fraudulent vote counting.

One can go on but the most telling thing about this list is how completely indifferent they are to the fate of this country, a country that we are all brought up to believe in and which has been destroyed in a few short years by their disregard for all the things we stand for.

2. Repukes disassemble with a reichous and sanctimonious hypocrisy
that is heavily sprinkled with mendacious double-speak and mean-spiritedness?
