A list of Republican hypocrisies.
1. Claiming they appear the party of strength on defense and national security and terrorism

when they held power when the 9-11 attacks happened which they failed to defend against.


2. They claim they appear the party of fiscal responsibility when they borrow and spend since 1980 merely to place pressure on the social safety net to destroy it. The Republican party has deliberately created deficits in the Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II administrations. DELIBERATE DEFICITS to destroy the new deal, the great society.

3. They claim they appear the party of morality but for years their members have committed sex crimes, divorced women and abandoned these women, cheated on their wives and covered up such sexual and financial and other immorality..

4. They claim to appear the party of business and hard work but they have opposed increasing the minimum wage over many decades and have only increased it when they got dreagged kicking and screaming. They have recently stopped any increase of the minimum wage for 10 years. The Republican party appears the party of cheap labor and they don't value the work that alot of people do. The Republican party for decades has enabled those in business who have abused workers and the general public.

3. The entire 'puke agenda is a big lie so hypocrisy is the order of the day
and spiced with the mendacity, sanctimony, reichousness, disingenuousness, distortion, doublespeak necessary to perpetuate the big lie.

4. The "moral" party
They claim to be moralists, but they support an illegal regime that has staked their entire power base on deception and lies.
They support a dictator wannabe who is complicit in the murders of perhaps 500,000+ people. (Lancet estimate of 644,000 with a 95% probability of at least 400,000 victims in Iraq).
They support a regime that encourages fiscal gluttony by the wealthiest, while the poor are virtually ignored.
They support an agenda that vigorously seeks to amend bedrock liberities and standards of conduct that have guided our country since its' inception.
They support a party that has even deceived the very people it claims to represent - albeit those whom are as narrowly intolerant as those whom are in power.
This party, these people, have brought great shame on our country and have given us all the rapidly encroaching spector of true godly revenge under the veil of bad karma.

5. They are the party of "pro life"
but support the death penalty and wars that kill thousands of innocent civilians.
