A new way to address GOP Hypocrisy
Thanks to Sen. Larry Craig, we have a new way to refer to their blatant hypocrisy and spin.

Just remember folks, like Larry Craig, its not inconsistency, its not flip-flopping, its not lying.

Republicans just have a "wide stance"

If someone brings up Cheney pushing for an anti gay marriage amendment while he has a pregnant lesbian daughter, its not that he's a hypocrite, he just has a wide stance on the issue. In fact, his stance is so wide he can straddle both sides of it.

And how Bush said he wouldn't engage in nation building yet is trying and failing at that now.

Again, its just a wide stance.

It is the best way to explain it all and now all of what they've done makes sense to me. Its not that they're two-faced hypocrites, its that they have such a wide stance that they can't help but be on both sides of the issue at the same time. I mean, its not their fault they need to use such a wide stance to address the issues, even though they only talk about one side of the issue, they just can't help it.

Its not their fault they have a "wide stance"

So next time a Republican engages in such behavior, don't call it hypocrisy.

Call it what it is.

A wide stance.

2. Just remember
Wide Stance.

Wouldn't hurt to have some friends around who agree who will most likely snicker a bit at that.
