Hypocrisy
Saw in the Sunday newspaper in the “Voices” section.
“The party that believes bringing every pregnancy to term and then letting those children fend for themselves is the same party that sends our ill-equipped soldiers off to war and then abandons them upon their return. What a shock.”
In general terms I agree with this statement; however, I don’t think it’s “the party” but the religious supporters of that party that believe in bringing all pregnancy to term. This group is only able to fucus on one issue at a time. This group of believers cannot see the forest for the trees, in fact, they can’t see the tree for looking at the bark to even see the tree let alone the forest. I think the name of this group should be changed from “Right to Life” to “Right to a Bad Life.”
Also, I don’t think that the “movers and shakers” of the party are very religious but they do pander to the religious right. So the politicians pretend to be religious, at least in public.
As for the shameful way the US has been treating its wounded veterans, it’s the result of cost cutting to give the very rich a tax cut.

While I see your point, you must admit, the party is what the party does, and the party is who's in the party. Religious right pretty much owns conservatism these days, and republicans as a general rule tout the conservative party line.
So, while every rule has an exception, if someone says, "I'm proud to be a conservative republican," they are exactly what that statement is talking about.
You are right, the party is what the party does, I was just pointing out another way the Republican politicians are lying to us and using us. Also what the politicians say and what they do behind the scenes are different.
