Do As I Say Not As I Do

why does the party of the "poor" and the little guy have some many filthy rich porkers and how did they get rich?

In a similar manner, Schweizer shows that Pelosi, winner of the Cesar Chavez Legacy Award, uses companies without United Farm Workers contracts to harvest grapes on her vineyard, and she sells those grapes to nonunion wineries. Again, this darling of the AFL-CIO (and recipient of a huge amount of its money for her campaigns) owns a big chunk of two lavish hotels and a chain of chi-chi restaurants that are all resolutely non-union shops

Welcome to the world of double-standards and hypocrisy!

Nice observational post, BTW.

My father used to say that a lot when I was growing up. "Do as I say and not as I do" to this very day was the most hypocrital cop-out I've ever heard whenever he would say that.

You are almost always right. In some cases I can see it-usually when the speaker has made a mistake or has a problem. ANother case is coaching. For example, my father was a college varsity tennis player but he broke both shoulders in a military accident that after age 40 really limited his ability to properly serve. When he was teaching me how to serve he would tell me to serve properly, not like he did.

He also used to drink quite a bit and told me to stay away from the stuff which I do and I don't think he was being a hypocrite about that either

that reminds me of a speach i heard a year or so back. a democrat was speaking to a group of largely african americans and he said something to the effect that he was going to give the democratic party back to those that founded it, the minorities-primarily african americans. im sitting there thinking.. the democratic party was founded by rich white guys. i wonder if anyone in the room knew that?

Hell the democratic part was the party for southern racists up until Johnson.

Its like in undercover brother.

"what has the republican party ever done for black people?"

"Well they wrote the emmancipation proclamation and freed the slaves...."


People forget that political parties are both filled with rich white guys who have nothing in common with everday people.
