The hypocrisy is not limited to their leadership either. This is why abstinence only sex [non]education will never work... people who have sex telling other people to not have sex. It's as if the conservative double standard is so ingrained that they no longer see it. I'm sure Mark Souder thought (and still thinks) he's an upstanding guy.

How do you debate someone unbound by reason, whose only mental criterion is convenience? Impossible, and for a polity that requires serious deliberation, dangerous.
