More GOP hypocricy...

After a year of pandering to religious groups by condemning homosexuality and gay lifestyles, particularly same sex marriages, the GOP has tossed out its own rule limiting the term of committee chairmanships and has decided to let Rep. David Dreier stay as chairman of the House Rules Committee for two more years.

The kicker is... Dreier is an outed homosexual.

After all their "values" rhetoric about gays destroying our civilization, and all their fuss over a proposed federal amendment institutionalizing gays as second class citizens, the Republicans turn a 180 and affirm that Dreier is "moral enough" and "American enough" to run the Rules Committee in Congress.

Keep in mind, it's the Rules Committee that handles amendments to the Constitution!

So, will the Jerry Falwells at the church pulpits turn their fire and brimstone jeramiads upon the two-faced Republicans for now accepting and rewarding homosexuals? Hasn't that been their basis for demonizing liberals, for their toleration? I doubt the Falwells will miss a beat. They're in too deep with the GOP now. So much so, that many churches are now little more than Political Action Committees--agencies serving a political party, and not agencies of God or Christianity.

What's so pathetic is that any time a Republican is about to suffer a disadvantage from his/her conservative rhetoric, he/she turns liberal in a heartbeat. Such is their true character. Such is their hypocricy.
