Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites. Now I am not saying the Democrats are not, however the level of hypocrisy they exhibit is no where near that of the GOP. The core of the hypocrisy lies in what they refer to as their 'values'. They claim to be 'more christian' then the rival party (which they probably are). Their base is (or they claim it is) white, Christian, older, and typically poor -- the "real Americans". There are many reasons for why they are hypocrites, I do not have the time to cover such a long list unfortunately (at-least not in one post). I'm no expert on politics, so this may be a bit more rantish then most of my posts. Enjoy!
If you asked a Republican if they followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, they wouldn't hesitate to say 'yes'. This is the biggest reason (in my opinion) for why Republicans are hypocrites -- for example, they strongly oppose the idea of government-ran health-care. What is more un-Christ-like then that? Jesus had a major dislike of the rich -- he obviously would not be on the side of the wealthy insurance companies (no lobbyist could buy off Jesus). Not only this, but the Republicans constantly speak of how great our current system is. While our system is great, great if you have the $$ to afford it. I'm sure Jesus would not support a health-care-system that caters to the wealthy and ignores those that cannot afford to stay alive.
I recently seen an ad on TV that talked about how the new (watered-down) health-care plan would still be the most horrible thing ever -- this new plan would decrease the survival-rate of cancer patients etc. (they don't really go into the details). The irony (and close-mindedness) in this commercial, is that they seem to leave out the survival-rate of cancer victims that don't have health-insurance (it's not all that high).
As a person that does not have health-insurance, I can speak from expirence for how bad it is. For example, about 5 months ago I shattered my wrist -- I tried to straighten it out the best I could, no way I was going to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get a surgery like that. I'm hoping the health-care bill passes (especially the part about not being able to be denied for pre-existing conditions) -- then I can get it fixed up better. It will probably cost many thousands more to get it fixed now then it would have at the time (but republicans are worried about costs). Think about how much more efficient it would be if slime-ball insurance companies that make billions off of people getting sick, did not exist. The people that work for insurance companies provide no valuable role for society. They are a bunch of vampires, but instead of sucking blood, they suck money, and they do this in the one area where it is the dirtiest, and that is health-care. How much money do they suck out of the pockets of Americans? How many billions do they make? That is how much money they suck out of our country, billions -- what have they given in return? Absolutely nothing -- insurance companies are a scam. And while it may seem like I have digressed, I have not, for there is one thing that the insurance companies do with Americans money (other then going on vacations), they use a good amount to buy-off politicians (which ones are opposing the health-care reform?). And Republicans can say with a straight face that they are followers of Jesus? How hypocritical, what would Jesus do? -- the complete opposite of what the republicans have been doing. Perhaps Republicans are more worried about wealth and power then eternal salvation, perhaps they don't believe it at all -- regardless, they are hypocrites!
There are many more hypocrisies of this political party (I'll probably get into the party 'without a backbone' later down the road). As for the Republicans, this will be "part 1".
