hypocrisy

*Synonymous with "lies" (greatly depends).

*Being a hypocrite or bearing similar traits to a hypocrite, such as being two-faced & for example, claiming to be for something but in reality isn't.

*A human trait.
"Hypocrisy does suck, yes. BUT, it is in our human nature to be hypocrites. If you don't admit that you're a hypocrite, then you're a hypocrite. ALL human beings are hypocrites. Not just politicians and communists. And believe it or not, not JUST women either!.....although women are known to very hypocritical. Nevertheless, you're a hypocrite, he's a hypocrite, she's a hypocrite, and even I AM A HYPOCRITE. It's all about admitting whether or not you are one. If you admit you're a hypocrite, then you could get somewhere in life. The reason people can't admit that they're hypocrites is because of their ego, and for some, they have their ego because they feel that they have a cause to uphold.....this is especially true of being a politician. A politician is basically a bureaucrat in a sense. Hypocrisy can be evident because of bureaucratic structures, such as the fact that bureaucrats are mindless people who only follow orders. And George W Bush is widely considered a hypocrite because of the liberal elite.......well whatever. We're all hypocrites. Got it?"

Grand Hypocrisy Party

The Grand Hypocrisy Party (GHP) is also known as the Grand Old Party (GOP) or the Republican party also known as the Repugnicant Party. They say one thing and do another. Their stated ideology is completely intellectually inconsistent and filled with hypocrisy.
The Grand Hypocrisy Party says that they believe in small government, yet what they mean is small enough to fit into your bedroom and personal life where they insist on legislating their own narrow minded morality. They say they believe in fiscal discipline, complain about deficit spending, yet advocate tax cuts for the top 2% of the ultra wealthy and yet don't even pretend to offer a way to pay for them. They say they believe in the Constitution yet have acted to undercut the Constitutional rights of the People and advocate amending the Constitution and abolishing Amendments that guarantee people fundamental rights!
