Perhaps the "h" word just has too many syllables

Because the average conservative--the average voter, for that matter--isn't uttering it. Let's review the Carnival of Hyprocrisy from the right wing:

• A man who appoints himself the nation's "morality czar" turns out to be a compulsive gambler.

• A man who rants against drug addicts turns out to be so addicted he gets his housekeeper to make drug deals for him.

• A Congressman who weeps over America's lack of moral fiber commits mail fraud, illegally manipulates his state's voting districts, and consorts regularly with a major criminal.

• A woman who declares she has to bring Christ back into American life plays a major role in handling highly questionable election results and then tells multiple lies in her own political campaign.

• A Senator whose mission, he says, is to return morality to the United States votes for a bill that permits rape and torture.

• A Congressman who plays the biggest role in bringing sexual predators of minors to justice turns out to be a sexual predator of minors.

• A man with alcohol problems who committed insider trading declares himself to be the Christian candidate for president of the United States and a man of compassion. That same man is the subject of two highly questionable elections, and turns out to be a compulsive liar, poisoner of children, destroyer of the Constitution, the mastermind behind a guaranteed continuation of death by AIDS and suicide of thousands of African women and children, and a supporter of torture and rape.

I could go on and on, but the point is--there is a huge gap here between what these people say they are and what they are. A gap so shocking it is hard to get your mind around. Hasn't anyone noticed?
