OT – Whitman Hired Illegal Worker

[Allan from Fallbrook]

Brian: More non-answers. Nothing personal, but I could care less whether you own an SUV or not.

This is about Pelosi’s obvious hypocrisy, which you’ve again managed to avoid addressing. Your argument would appear to be that, since she supports progressive policies, we shouldn’t peer too closely at whether or not she practices what she preaches. Which is akin to your saying, “Well, since I like her politics, its perfectly acceptable for her to be an insincere, lying hypocrite”. And, since Whitman supports policies you either don’t support, or find offensive, you’re going to pillory her for her misdeeds. This is a blatant double standard and is, in and of itself, hypocritical.

As to Pelosi’s “estimated” net worth, I think we need only look as far as the distinguished gentleman, Charlie Rangel, to get a sense of how accurate those particular documents are. She’s worth well in excess of the numbers you provided, and a little diligent research on your part will confirm that.

Like your “I’m morally flexible” comment previously, you continue to hold those you disagree with politically to a higher standard than those you hold common cause with. Like I said, I could care less personally, but, if you want to debate ethics and character, I’d start with yourself.

Yes, I do. And for the simple reason those I disagree with have themselves set their own standards.

For example, I understand that people have personal issues or weaknesses that they need to deal with. Progressives generally believe that we need to be accommodating and understanding of people’s circumstances.

Conservatives (such as Christine O’Donnell) are black-and-white, morally rigid. They believe that masturbation and pornography are sins. Financial mismanagement should be punished. They should be held to their own standards.

I have no problem with a liberal who masturbates. But I can’t forgive a conservative who does the same.

Allan, I think you mean “I couldn’t care less”, not “I could care less”. I would try to explain this more myself, but this funny man with an australian accent does a much better job: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/video/2010/may/20/language-usa
