I agree that this polititian is certainly a hypocrite but he has a lot of company. IMHO a large number of our polititians are hypocrites and say whatever it takes to get elected while conducting their private lives differently.
A few examples:
- The polititian who advovates higher taxes for the rich while hiring the best tax attorneys money can buy to pay as little as possible of their income and wealth in taxes.
- The polititian who advocates against tuition tax credits for the middle class and extolling the virtues of public education while at the same time sending their own kids to the best private schools.
- The polititian who advocates women's rights while taking advantage of their position and treating the less powerful women in their lives like tramps.
- The polititian who advocates a military draft while making sure their own kids will be exempt.
- and on and on....
I don't think it has anything to do with dysfunction, self loathing, or denial. The fact that he may be gay does not stop him from being ambitious. What this guy is doing seems just normal for a polititian who wants to keep getting elected.
