Or Do You Just Assume ALL Politicians Are Hypocrites?
-
We already heard about conservative family-values congressman Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) admitting he had an affair with a married woman. Now, text messages obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette indicate that when he thought he had gotten his mistress pregnant, he asked her to get an abortion, which doesn't quite mesh with his aggressive pro-life stance. In fact, in his texts, he admits he doesn't even write his anti-abortion statements, which make him "wince." So he's voting to ban abortion, getting accolades from the Religious Right, but behaves in exactly the opposite manner when it suits himself. This should tell you something about politicians and a lot more; if someone is this hypocritical, do you overlook it if the result is your political match? How many other pro-lifers don't walk the walk in their own lives but want to make others do so? (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
