[gotsnowgotslush]

Who is standing on the Hill of Hypocrisy ?

Sarah Palin seems to have collected a few news bites, last week.

Ted Cruz stands on the Hill of Hypocrisy, along with all of the lies he has told.

According to estimates by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, more than three-fourths of the value of the mortgage interest and property tax deductions goes to households with incomes of more than $100,000, and close to a third goes to families with incomes above $200,000.

Well, Duh. In order to buy a house and take on a mortgage and become obligated to pay property tax, a family must have substantial income. Those who make less than $100,000 annually cannot usually get a loan requiring them to pay a third of their net income for housing.

Liberals in gov. tried to change that about 20 years ago. The result was a collapse of the housing bubble, leading to the recession in 2008.

Hillary Clinton stands on the summit of the hill of hypocrisy. Railing against the wealthy when she is one the richest women in the country, and getting richer every day.

Please provide an example of "railing against the wealthy".

Sarah Palin may be the wingnuttest of them all, but I wouldn't call her hypocryte. but maybe I missed something.

Why has nobody mentioned Al Gore, who preaches conservation of electricity and fuels but who flies in a private jet and whose home uses 12 times the energy of most residences?

Lots of other people's opinions, but no direct quotes from Ms. Clinton.

Typical.

There's a reason nobody else mentioned him.

Cvasquez12: What specific things are you doing in life to lower your personal carbon footprint? And what is the biggest one specific thing I as an individual can do to reduce mine?

Gore: I use only carbon-free electricity. Have 33 solar panels on my roof, seven deep geothermal wells under my driveway, LED lights and highest-grade energy-saving windows, max insulation, hybrid plug-in car, etc.

Now tell us how many geothermal wells you own.

"Justice" Clarence Thomas.

They may be, but I'm thinking of some guy who made a recent presidential run...was galling.

Herman Cain.

Herman Cain.

Obama...? Nah, guess I'll have to google.

Hill, you need a damn mountain, its a shorter list of who wouldn't be on the hill.....a real short list, like none of them.

Gore's Law strikes again.

In Laanta's words: "Al Gore could be short, evil and fond of child sacrifice. He could emit more CO2 snoring at night than Christopher Monckton does all year. And his movie could be even more inaccurate than The Great Global Warming Swindle. But this wouldn't change a thing."[1]

No, it's even worse than that; he almost certainly believes the false things he says.

Well, she insists that teaching abstinence to teens is a good way to prevent pregnancy.

I doubt that. At $21 million, there's a really (really) big leap required to get to a billion. (Or do you have trouble imagining dollar amounts that high?)

I don't know her exact wealth, but I do know she is high up in the legendary 1%. She is not the richest woman in the US, but I still say she is one of the richest.

She is probably in the top .1%, meaning she is one out of a thousand. I consider that to be one of the richest women in the country.

Rather than reading lies from Gore's apologist, I would rather refer you to his utility bills: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/GlobalWarming/story?id=2906888
