that is not a hypocrite. To be valid, the official's party opponents must agree with you that said official is not a hypocrite.
Give an example of an elected official

Although he's not currently serving, I don't remember anyone ever having anything bad to say about Sen. John Glenn.

Ron Paul - everybody thinks he is crazy, but not a hypocrite.

Hitler...No wait, he was by his own definition a Jew.

Amazing
Though I strongly disagree with his political positions, (except when he initiated deregulation of the oil and gas industry, trucking, and banks which was good) I think that Jimmy Carter was and is an honest person to his convictions. His work with Habitat for Humanity where he engages in real physical work building homes for the disadvantaged is most admirable ... it shows him to be a person who puts his money and labor where his mouth is.
On the other side of the aisle, I think just as strongly of Ronald Reagan, a man of his convictions who never wavered, and 'did what he had to do' as he would say. We will not see the likes of Reagan for another generation to come.
There are a few Congress people I also admire, such as Sunny Bono (R) (deceased) and Joe Lieberman (D then I). But, most of them I would not give the time of day ... because most get corrupted ... they start out with nice ideals, but have to make too many compromises along the way. This is why I am for term limits in all cases.
I live in Illinois where our Governors are arrested and charged with almost routine schedule ... only one Governor in the last four has not gotten into trouble ...

I don't think Ron Paul is crazy. He makes a lot of sense to me.

StAnn - that's nice to know. Someone who thinks the "law" shpould be followed even by the government is obviously crazy. That idea was abandoned by FDR. I kind of like the constitution myself and I think if we used it - it might work! I guess I'm crazy like Ron Paul though.
