sad, but true...

[lizbeth-mairead.livejournal.com]

Appropriate.

[prock.livejournal.com]

I agree.

I do find it quite tragic that the hypocricy of the Republicans has sent their moral standards to the ground, and thus put them in a position of yeilding the moral high ground to the Democrats.

Indeed. Democrats heading up tax agencies and legislation who don't pay their own taxes? I think we all know the hysterical headlines that would dominate the MSM news cycles until these people had been driven out of town.

[annainthecity.livejournal.com]

What now?

[weswilson]

HHAHAHAHAHAH!

Yes, because democrats aren't moral... hahahahha

The perception of high moral standing within the republican party is delusional. They are politicians, just like the Democrats. It just helps them achieve that aura of righteous indignation to keep the illusion of morality behind their activities.

[weswilson]

My instinct is to redraw the cartoon with both moral standards set to the same level, while the elephant demands that everyone else's bar get set higher than theirs.

[ellie-kay.livejournal.com]

typical.

[hallyluia.livejournal.com]

I am a Democrat. Do with that what you like. ;)

[luper.livejournal.com]

exactly.

morals are for parents, friendships, religious leaders, and group leaders.
politicians never had them.

[thormonger.livejournal.com]

Isn't the donkey's hurdle a little high?

[prock.livejournal.com]

Probably. But it's still higher than the Republicans will be in about three seconds.

[jessica-leah.livejournal.com]

Because morality is determined by your political affiliations.

[xforge.livejournal.com]

Uuhhhhhhrrrhhhh? It is if your party claims to be the Party of Morals, capital letters and all. That's how Bush got elected in the first place y'know, because Clinton was IMMORAL and had SEX with somoene he wasn't MARRIED to. Never mind so was Newt Gingrich at that very same time.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

it's not the Dems who go around trying to write laws that interfere with everyone's bedroom while getting caught giving blow-jobs to other men in public restrooms.

[lizbeth-mairead.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, it wasn't the Republicans trying to sell Senate seats either.

[xforge.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wanna join the chorus of "um, what?"

[kadaria.livejournal.com]

Torture = higher moral standards?

[bearbugs.livejournal.com]

LOL republicans are funny.

[nerglish.livejournal.com]

I got in a fight with a coworker on election day when he told me that, as a republican, he operates from a moral base, while Democrats... well he never got to finish because I told him to GTFO my office.

[luper.livejournal.com]

Oh my, you deal with difference of opinions just like the insane republicans that are criticized.

"You don't think everyone women who gets an abortion is a slut that needs to be stoned?! I don't care what you think, GET OUT."

O RLY?

It's funny when you realize that the bar those Republicans are struggling to get over is the don't-diddle-teenagers-bar.

[luper.livejournal.com]

both sides diddle teenagers.

i don't understand your point.
Should people lower the bar and say that it's okay to molest children so that a few fucked up members aren't spotted as hypocrites?
Isn't it better to have high morals and then try to enforce them, but at the same time realize that there will always be several messed up people in every group?

[adameros.livejournal.com]

Wow. that cartoonist must have been asleep for the last 8 16 years.

Clinton's moral faux pas? Having an affair and lying about it.

Bush's moral faux pas? Spying on americans, lying to go to warm, torturing people, outing undercover agents for political gain, possible war crimes, etc, etc, etc.

[wakeuplovely.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY.

[fleaplus.livejournal.com]

In a system of moral relativism, hypocrisy is pretty much by definition the greatest sin.

[hallyluia.livejournal.com]

"In a system of moral relativism"

Let me understand. Are you saying you personally believe in moral relativism, and therefore hypocrisy is the greatest sin?

Or are you simply commenting on our society? Saying that our society is one which embraces moral relativism, because if you are saying that, then I agree. Our society does do that.

[rawbery79.livejournal.com]

I keep trying to read the cartoon and these comments but all I see are Repukians going "BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Get the fuck over it. Your antiquated ways are done. Why not join the 20th century, stop clinging to your "God", and stop trying to use "God" to scare and govern.

I was gonna say something snarky on the interbutt...

[the-hamburglar.livejournal.com]

but then I saw that you were a GLB fan and I just can't bring myself to do it.

[real-live-troll.livejournal.com]

I don't think either party is particularly moral or immoral. I think individuals affiliated with each fuck up.

[ladypolitik.livejournal.com]

Well, the unintentional catch of the pun, of course, is that the presumably high moral standards are voluntarily set by the GOP, not imposed by Democrats.

The cartoon's a brilliantly inadvertent commentary on foreseeable self-sabotage, at least. :)

[desidono.livejournal.com]
