Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania: Pro-choice for himself and his girlfriend, anti-choice for the rest of us.
And based on the rest of this story (which includes a memo by his Chief of Staff) he seems like a prince of a guy in other ways as well. --Bob

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Anymore news on the hypocrit front we should know about ?
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Actually, I believe it's YOU who are (or is it 'is') the hypocrite. You, by posting about Tim Murphy, have decided to only highlight the hypocrisy of people of a specific political bent. Where is your outrage over the hypocrisy of those who share your political persuasion? Where are your posts about them? There are plenty of them. Are they any less hypocritical than Mr. Murphy?
Washington is chock full of hypocrites and worse. And they come from all political parties. Why bother to single out one? (Just a rhetorical question, we all know why.)
And I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to give these hypocrites more power than they've already taken over anything that affects our lives.

If I'd made a big deal about people like Roger Ailes, then you'd have a point. But I haven't done that, precisely because he's always been a private citizen.
As for power over our lives, one lunatic in Las Vegas exercised considerable power over hundreds of lives directly, and probably thousands indirectly. I have no problem at all with politicians giving our police more reasonable tools to protect us from such threats. --Bob

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Assuming that Harvey Weinstein donated or supported women's issues (which I'm guessing he probably did), then yes, he is a hypocrite, and he's been condemned by a lot of Democratic officeholders, some of whom have already returned his campaign contributions.flockofseagulls104 wrote:Actually, I believe it's YOU who are (or is it 'is') the hypocrite.

But, as Bob pointed out, Harvey's not in Washington voting on laws this very week to strengthen abortion restrictions while, at the same time, making it very clear in private that he had no intention of abiding by those restrictions if and when they affected his own life. And that's a far more dangerous form of hypocrisy.
And by the way Flock, where is your outrage that Congress is voting on abortion restrictions when you have lectured us over and over again that matters such as gay marriage should be left up to the states? Or does your outrage only extend to one side of the political spectrum as well?

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Apparently, murders are usually under the jurisdiction of the state in which it was committed. There are several circumstances where it becomes a federal crime, such as murder related to drug trafficking, bank robbery and several others, including Murder Related to Rape, Child Molestation, and Sexual Exploitation of Children.
I would guess this bill is attempting to add the abortion of an unborn child more than 4 months old or so to the federal statutes. I would think that going through the legislative process is the correct way to do this, rather than have the President sign an executive order on an issue of this magnitude. But I doubt it will pass either the House or the Senate. And, of course, anyone who supports it will be vilified by liberals and the MSM.
What is wrong with introducing this bill and debating it? Can we not have a discussion on the morality of aborting unborn children? Or is that out of the question? As I understand it, the bill has exceptions to protect the life of the mother and in the case of rape.
As per Mr. Murphy, I agree he is a hypocrite. If we want to be Clinton-esque, we could ask whether his girlfriend was less than 4 months pregnant.

The Court spoke on this subject more than 40 years ago. I get that you don't like what the Court had to say, but the very point of constitutional rights is that the majority doesn't get to take them away just because they're the majority. --Bob

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
I thought the Constitution was a living document, right, bob? Not that this is a matter having to do with the Constitution. I believe this is a matter of amending the US Code, not the Constitution. That is the purpose of the Congress, is it not? It is defining a specific medical procedure as illegal. It restricts doctors from performing a procedure that kills an unborn baby after a certain defined point and does not penalize the mother while also including specified exceptions. That sounds like a reasonable compromise between the pro-lifers and the pro-abortion people, if either side will allow for compromise. Let's debate that in reasoned terms and leave political correctness out of it.Bob78164 wrote:The right whose existence was acknowledged by the United States Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade.

I find it ironic that you bring up the notion that rights cannot be taken away by a majority just because they're the majority in light of all the things that Obama decided to do with a phone and a pen. I said at the time people like you would regret the precedent he set. At least they're trying to do it the correct way.

Re: Rep. Tim Murphy: Hypocrite
Let me see if I have your thinking straight Flock.
