Republican Morality

[DSTCHAOS]

The Republicans have long tried to paint themselves as the conservative voice of morality for this country. This is what makes all of these mishaps so noteworthy.

People are people and both Dems and Repubs are full of crap. But don't be the posterboy against child pornography, abortion, gay marriage and other weighty topics, claiming they weight down on the morality of this country, and then be exposed as a criminal or "social misfit" in your own right.

That would make a nice Campaign slogan....I like it.

"OPne of the truest signs of being a staunch, conservative Republican is your public abhorrance of anything sexual while privately participating in the same or more debasede sexual deviance."

Sounds a little broad, doesnt it?

No Doggy is talking about staunch conservative you also have moderate Conservatives like Colin Powel, John McCain and others.

Exactly.

"Everything's immoral...unless I do it in the privacy of my own home...it's okay if a successful businessman such as myself does it, but we can't let just ANYONE do it because this country will go to Hell...."

Only if you insist but do you really consider yourself to be a staunch, conservative Republican? Perhaps that blind political loyalty and moral outspoken(ness?) is what breeds the observation the OP had.

I feel similarly about Dem and Repub politicians who speak out against illegal immigration but have illegal immigrants doing their landscaping or working their building contracts.

Hypocrisy knows no political party. But being from certain political traditions and platforms certainly makes your hypocrisy more interesting.
