Too bad that saying has lost its relevance in todays political areana where hoping to do something is better than actually attempting it. Judge a person by his action not his words.

Inconsistency happens due to human nature; nobody lives up to their own ideals and beliefs all of the time because we are all at heart screw-ups. Those ideals and beliefs just keep you on the right track most of the time. Hypocrisy is based on a lie. It's meant to give others a false impression about you. Hollywood and politics thrive on false impressions. Entertainers and many politicians create a persona for the public, a brand. A more sincere person will craft a persona that's close to who they really are. After all, even I don't think all politicians and entertainers are duplicitous creeps. But many of them are. For the politician, the truth may mean he'd never get elected or get re-elected. For the entertainer, the truth may mean nobody would see his movies or buy her music. The difference is the politician holds the power of life and death over us. Khloe Kardashian doesn't...unless she plans to sit on you.
