I believe all humans, at one time or another, will behave hypocritically.

I woud say his buying the mandated insurance...and not going with the Cadillac policy of the gov't...shows he is not a hypocrite...quite the opposite.

Not when his stated goal is to repeal every last bit of O care. Last word on the subject from me for this thread.

Would love to see that but he is willing to go with what has been mandated and then he will really see it from the inside. That is choosing to be one of the people...like some profess but would never do.

Maybe it's a problem differentiating between those who are human and make mistakes now and then, and those who constantly and consistently live as hypocrites?

I don't think that's it.

Everyone who has posted comments that we are all hypocrites has "admitted" it, including myself.

Yes I will admit it too. It is human nature. Those in denial find it easier to post examples of hypocrisy in others not realizing how obvious their own denial is to everyone.

I've admitted to it several times in the thread, as have others. I think it's pretty clear, over time, when we see some with a pattern of pointing fingers at others and little or no pattern of being self-aware... and others who often admit to mistakes and stumbles when they make them. I make a lot of mistakes, many of which fall into "hypocritical" since they don't reflect my principles, and do my best to acknowledge and apologize, and move forward. It's the human condition.

Indeed. I am Scottie and I am a hypocrite at times.....who wants to say it straight out next? Instead of hiding behind "we all are..."

Absolutely I have seen you apologize and try to make things right with other posters. I respect that.

I do too.

On the other hand....at times this saying is apropos: "Fool me once shame on me....fool me 3 times shame on you....
