4. George W. Bush
We are continuing our list of biggest hypocrites in American politics with George W. Bush and his stances on child adoption by gay couples. While in 2005 he said the ideal family was a heterosexual one (and gay families would be less ideal), he supported his gay employee Mary Cheney when she decided to take that step. Also, some still remember his policy over frozen embryos for stem cells research. He declined the funds for it since it inevitably involves the destruction of life, but on September 11th he was fine with giving orders to shoot down any unresponsive plane carrying innocent civilians so as to protect other citizens. Indeed, being a politician is one tricky task.
