As usual, if you're curious about all the hoopla over the hypocrisy of Al Gore, I direct you to Instapundit. I've read a number of the posts there (plenty of links there, so if you're curious, link on and look) and I am amazed at how easy it is for the liberals to give Al Gore a pass on his hypocrisy and how adamant they are to point out the hypocrisy of a conservative. What puzzles me is that liberals do not see the inequity of their actions. Now, why is this? What's the motivation behind ignoring the plank in your own eye while screaming about the toothpick in someone else's eye?
One writer tries to convince the audience that Al Gore "isn't like the rest of us" and so doesn't have to live under the same set of rules. Hello? Is he breathing the same air as I am? Then he does have to live under the same rules as I do. For a Democrat, a "Party of the People," to claim that one of its leaders is a member of an "elite class" who doesn't have to share in the proletariat's sacrifices for the common good is outrageous hypocrisy.
How anyone can justify that kind of illogical duplicity is beyond me. There is no excuse for it. Period. And if you are a Democrat, then you are part of the deceit or you can speak out to your Congresspeople and to your Party and hold them accountable.
Al Gore owns three houses. One is a 20-room mansion in Nashville, TN. For anyone to say he represents the "common man" is the height of pomposity, pretentiousness, and dishonesty. And anyone who defends this type of deceit is as guilty as Al Gore is.
If the Democrats want any rational person to listen to them, they might want to try being honest.
