Poll question: Who is the most hypocritical member of Congress?
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 11:23 AM by Roland99
Which member of Congress best defines the term Hypocrite?


Personally, I think it's DeLay. McCain is just schizophrenic. ;)

20. I Didn't Actually EXCLUDE McCain...
Just musing that he HAD some balance ONCE!!

I think he tries, but basically does toe the Repuke line.

2. DeLay should run away with this one.
Even though hypocrisy is basically a prerequisite for belonging to today's Republican Party.

9. Tough pick, but since I "cringe" in Pennsylvania on a daily basis....
I simply must choose ol' man-on-dog Ricky.

BTW: I cringe with embarrassment, not fear.

10. LEAST hypocritical
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 12:15 PM by liam_laddie
This list would be FAR shorter and thus more manageable online if the poll was for the LEAST hypocritical. Monitor screens aren't nearly large enough to list ALL of the most hypocritical of the 535 members of the Legislative twig. :-) :sarcasm:

13. Concur....when SJC chair during Clinton he refused to move 60 judge
nominations through his committee.

Today on the floor he said all presidential nominations deserve an up or down vote.

I think it was Durbin who busted him a few minutes later.

Please re-do the poll, adding Hatch, the slime.

16. Delay's not hypocritical, that's a compliment. Hes a criminal.
DOn't know why you're so nice to those who spit nails for a living. Hypocrisy is just a warm and fuzzy term to them.

18. I voted Leiberman because he pretends he's a democrat
and he's not - he's a tool of the repukes. That's the worst offense there is.
