Dems = hypocrites
You know, I think you can get hypocrisy in spades from the Democrats (Hillary Clinton excluded).

Firstly, they claim they stand for "democratic" principles. But quite conveniently, and at odds with my idea of America as a beacon for democracy, the DNC ignores Michigan and Flordia primary voters - in the name of "rules". Since when do centrist "rules" over-rule democratic principles? Since Stalin, and since DNC. So lots of hypocrite brownie points.

This morning, Nancy Pelosi is in my cross-hair. She appears with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. (Nothing wrong with that.) She stands up and makes a speech - and uses the "f"-word. "Today we are here.. to join you.. in shedding the great light of truth on what is happening in Tibet... If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China's oppression in Tibet we have lost all moral authority to speak on Human Rights anywhere in the world," said Pelosi, the third ranking official of the US. (Nothing wrong with that either.) But wait a minute - freedom-loving people includes Iraqis, stupid! And she is so quick to try and deny Iraqis the freedom. In fact she has been accused of wanting genocide for the Iraqis - with some justification. So more hypocrite brownie points for Pelosi and by association the Democrats. You know, I never really liked Pelosi from the get-to. She's such a hypocritical political light-weight. And she seems to think it's OK to ignore Democrat primary voters, being against primary "re-dos" in Florida and Michigan. So do not preach to us about freedom, *expletive*!

"I used to give Nancy Pelosi benefit of the doubt, but I don't think she'll be happy until we have a Rwanda-like genocide. Pelosi is perhaps the worst example of a liberal racist: She sees Iraqis as nothing more than a template upon which to fight a partisan battle. It really is disgraceful," said Michael Rubin, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. [Source: CNS News Pelosi Wants 'Rwanda-Like Genocide' in Iraq, Expert Says]

Last but not least, one word - Spitzer! ("a world champion hypocrite").

Sometimes I wish Hillary would stand for president as an Independent.

I agree with you on Ms. Pelosi, but to act like Hillary Clinton has no ounce of hypocrisy in her is to act as if that Catholic Church is still the authoritarian word on Christendom. Most if not all politicians lose their humbleness and void themselves of any common decency in respect of gaining higher office, as she has visibly shown in the last few weeks. Her assumption that she would automatically win, because of riding the skirt tails of the Clinton-esque era of growth and prosperity we so adamantly enveloped ourselves in, is not a true and just cause; nor that of her participating in spiteful party politics. Hypocrisies just like personal politics, is only a matter of degrees, that seperates common mislabels given by the mass media.

"Her assumption that she would automatically win, because of riding the skirt tails of the Clinton-esque era of growth and prosperity" --- I think that's all just Obama campaign team hype! I don't buy that for a minute. She could have run in 2004 but she didn't, when arguably she would have won the nomination. There's no real evidence to suggest that Clinton expects a free ride. In fact she was given a hard time by the press, in contrast to the easy ride for a long while given to Obama by the media. And she fought a hard campaign, as ackonwledged by Obama himself. Now if she thought she was entitled to win, she would have just sat at home making tea right?
