Beau Biden, the VP's son Dead at 46
I am so very very saddened as I checked my emails and Huff Post headlines to see the news before bed to read of Beau Biden, the VP's son, dead at 46. I grieve with them as if I know him because Joe makes me feel I know him too.
There are millions who feel as bad as I do now. Beau had a glowing past and an even brighter future if he was only able to live it. Rest in peace Beau and I hope we the masses can help the Biden family grieve their loss. Husband, father, brother and son our Iraq War vet we who love Joe Biden weep with him tonight!
Synonym for a Hypocrite
The Republican former Speaker of the House, Denny Hastert, is now indicted for crimes surrounding his reported sexual indiscretions with a minor while teaching high school and as wrestling coach in Yorkville, Illinois. Hastert, a good Republican, voted for DOMA (The Defense of Marriage Act) and against marriage equality twice and ultimately wanted a constitutional amendment against gay marriage denying a group of ADULTS happiness while he was doing the exact same thing except unforgivably with a minor boy who was a student at the high school in which he taught and coached wrestling.
How do these slugs’ brains work? How can they live with themselves and be such moral HYPOCRITES? The same thing applied heterosexually to Republican former Speaker Newt Gingrich and a candidate for the presidency who went after Bill Clinton with impeachment vengeance for the Lewinsky indiscretions while Gingrich was having affairs himself exactly at the time he was impeaching Clinton wasting the taxpayer money they say they care about so much. It is sickening!
Now the mud is hitting the fan as Denny Hastert faces federal indictments. WONDERFUL, maybe there is a God exposing Republicans for what they are: mendacious and unethical hypocrites. Sure, Democrats commit sexual moral indiscretions too but Democrats do not have sexuality and family values fidelity front and center as pivotal on their platform. Republican candidate for the presidency Mike Huckabee can "forgive" the uber "conservative" Duggars for committing sexual sins good fundamentalist Christians should not even think about let alone do or cover-up but if the sinner were a Democrat no forgiveness by Huckabee allowed just a commitment to hell, a place in which there should be reserved seating for Huckabee himself.
The Hastert indictments could not happen to a more worthy, hypocritical, and unethical man who is a part of a Republican Party that gives new definition to the word liar! Republicans would like to have others suffer while many do exactly the same thing they condemn, getting millions when in office and later as a lobbyists after their Congressional tenure living high off the taxpayers’ dole ends. It’s a great job if you can get it.
Webster’s Dictionary should contain a new synonym for a hypocrite: Republican
