Republicans sport a "do what we say, not what we do" political philosophy.
It's all too clear by now. Just look at the facts:

GOP has said for decades it's the "Party of Fiscal Responsibility," yet it is running up a $10,000,000,000,000 national debt with billions missing and unaccounted for in Iraq alone.

GOP has said for decades it's the "Party of Morality," yet scandal after scandal has surfaced involving GOPers and pedophilia, prostitutes, homosexuality*, scams and cons, etc.

GOP has said for decades it is "Party of Smaller Government," yet the GOPers have used government to 1) spy on Americans; 2) torture; 3) eliminate habeas corpus; 4) limit civil liberties, etc.

GOP has said for decades it is "Party of Family Values," yet the GOPers have used their reign to foist anti-family values in health care, education, jobs, finance, social programs, etc.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Balanced Media," yet the GOPers use the media to advance neo-con propaganda while stifling dissent with censorship.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Support the Troops," yet our veterans today are the most neglected vets in recent memory considering 1) extended tours of duty; 2) shoddy or lack of equipment; 3) poor medical care (Walter Reed); 4) poor or no planning in activating troops, etc.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Life," yet the GOPers have killed over a million Iraqis and ignored health care for American children.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Patriots," yet the GOPers have shredded the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and have attacked the foundations of democracy such as free and open elections, transparent government, and the will of the people.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Competitive Capitalism," yet the GOPers have used government to curb competition by awarding billions of dollars to cronies through no-bid contracts and corruption.

GOP has said for decades it is the "Party of Strong Defense," yet GOPers sat idly by while Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11/01 and murdered 3,000 of our citizens.

I could go on, but I think this drives the point home.

Basically, Republicans are just the opposite of what they claim to be, hence "GOP" now means "Gang Of hyPocrites"
