Hypocrisy in a nutshell.

"I need my paycheck. That's the bottom line. I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that's admirable. I'm not in that position."

- Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC), in an interview with WTVD-TV, on needing to be paid during the government shutdown she supported.

Ft. Bragg is in her district.

Does she care about all of the Americans who are forced to go without a paycheck while they grandstand? Does she care about the cancer children going without treatment or the children with no Head Start program?

She seems addicted to posting patently false GOP talking points, each of which invites hundreds of comments telling her what a hypocritical liar she is. If she was smart, she would STFU.
