Ever? On any subject? Only when it’s self-serving, is the problem. I found out [Dick Cheney](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/17/dick-cheney-gay-marriage-maryland_n_1284727.html) has been pro-gay-rights for years, but then I found out he has a gay daughter. While it’s nice that he isn’t anti-gay like most Republicans, it’s pretty safe to say that if he DIDN’T have a gay daughter, he wouldn’t give a shit about gay rights. Jon Stewart also did a funny number on his show about some blonde Republican pundit on Fox (I forget her name). She was _on record_ saying that pregnancy leave was an unnecessary entitlement, until after she came back from pregnancy leave! She had a sudden change of heart (surprise, surprise) and started blasting people for having the _same opinion_ she used to express! Total bitch. Most Republicans are hypocritical, self-serving fuckwits who suffer from a serious lack of perspective. Although some believe in certain forms of “welfare,” it’s only after an event has affected them personally that they give a shit.

And Santorum, who is all about abortion, [but only for his wife](http://www.watchblog.com/thirdparty/archives/007855.html). These assholes are fucking _crazy_. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-_are_-todays-gop-so-daft/615340)._
