Both sides are so stuffed to the gills with shameless, preposterous hypocrites that the question is just totally meaningless. It’s like asking _‘Who’s worse, Al-Qaeda or ISIS?’_ There’s a factual answer, but it’s not one a normal person ought to give a shit about. ---

Only a Republican would pose such a question. But I dare not call the OP a Republican lest I violate the Board’s offensive name-calling rule. ---

OK, did anybody here vote for their \*\*\*own \*\*\*side as being the more hypocritical one? (D’s considering D’s more hypocritical or R’s considering R’s more hypocritical) ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > OK, did anybody here vote for their \*\*\*own \*\*\*side as being the more hypocritical one? (D’s considering D’s more hypocritical or R’s considering R’s more hypocritical) Interesting take. I’ll concede that I’m more troubled by a revelation of [D] hypocrisy, but that’s a function of the fact that I have _expectations_ of Democrats, where I have none of Republicans. (in truth, I’m rooting for both parties to eventually not exist. It’s just that if the Democratic Party stops existing first, the Republican Party will persist. Whereas, if the Republican Party stops existing, the Democratic Party will almost immediately schism) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-side-has-more-hypocrisy-than-the-other-side/849756.md?page=1)
