Ever notice how right-wing conservatives seem to gravitate to liberal political stances on issues that effect them personally? They hate welfare - except when it is subsidies to their family and friends - things like oil subsidies and farm subsidies. They are against government spending - except when it brings industry to their communities. They are against helping damaged communities (Hurricane Sandy) unless it is in their back yard (Katrina),
Now the new one - they are against gay marriage - unless they have a gay member of their family (VP Dick Cheney and Sen, Rob Portman)
And they wonder why we call them hypocrites and assholes? Seems fitting.

Republican Senator Rob Portman has announced his support for same-sex marriage, saying he reversed his position on the divisive social issue after his son came out as gay.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," Portman wrote in an op-ed published Friday in the Columbus Dispatch.
(Douchebag!)
This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
