Democrats, as a whole, are hypocrites. When faced with truth and facts, all they can do is go into their gutter and make personal attacks or play the race card. A perfect case in point is the recent attack on “Joe the Plumber”. When Obama was caught on tape telling Joe Wurzelbacher, “I think that when we spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody”, the Obama campaign and most of the liberal media did everything they could to discredit Joe. Here is Obama, like his running mate Joe Biden, caught on tape demonstrating their clear socialistic mindsets. Spreading the wealth and redistributing one’s income is nothing more than liberal-speak for Socialism. However, does the press have any concern about this? Not at all. What the Obama campaign does do is try to belittle and smear the man. Obama mocks the guy the very next day by saying, “Do you know any plumbers making $250,000?”. Then they try to deflect away from the real story, which are Obama’s political revelations, by smearing Joe and saying he’s not a licensed plumber, he has a small tax lien on his property and his first name isn’t Joe and he’s probably a plant by the Republican Party. How petty and sleazy can you get? Obama was the one that went to his neighborhood and walked by his house. He certainly didn’t ask him to come to his neighborhood. He doesn’t need to have a plumbing license as long as the guy he’s working with does. And he never claimed to be making $250,000. He talked about buying a plumbing business that might make $250,000 or more.
Want more hypocrisy? How about the Democratic representative in Florida, Tim Mahoney? Mahoney replaced Representative Mark Foley after he was caught sending email messages of a sexual nature to a House page. No actual sexual affair mind you, just email messages. The Democrats and the press were so outraged by Foley’s emails. Foley, like most Republicans, did the honorable thing and resigned. So what happens next? Mahoney runs his campaign on a platform of family and moral values. Guess what? Mahoney has now admitted to numerous affairs and paying off at least one of his mistresses. He was even having the affair while he was running for office under his moral values platform. Hypocritical? Not if you’re a DemocRAT!
How about Democratic Representative Jefferson of Louisiana? Jefferson has been indicted on charges of bribery, racketeering, money laundering and obstruction of justice. He was caught with $90,000 stuffed in a freezer. Prosecutors have also charged four other Jefferson family members with pocketing more than $600,000 in state and federal grant money intended for charitable and educational projects. One has already pleaded guilty. Is the press or the Democratic leadership outraged by all of this? Gosh, he’s still a House member and running for reelection. If this were a Republican, he’d be headlining all the papers and TV shows until he resigned.
I could go on and on with many more examples like Democratic Representative Charlie Rangel, Jesse Jackson, etc. I’ll spare you the pain. However, I’ll leave you with one last one that you probably haven’t heard of. Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office. A better than 250% pay raise in one year – not bad. The following year, 2006, Obama requests an earmark in Congress for $1 million for her hospital. Federal funds to help your wife’s employer. Nothing wrong with that if you’re a Democrat running for president, right?
