Hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes. And when it comes to politics, hypocrisy is just part of the game. But the press only tends to cover half the story. For decades, the American people have benefited from the media’s meticulous investigation of hypocrisy among conservative leaders. Meanwhile, liberal hypocrisy gets a free pass.
But not anymore.
In a film that will forever change how we see America and its leaders, filmmakers Nicholas Tucker and Lucas Abel take us on an unforgettable journey through a political landscape filled with hypocrites and humbugs. Along the way, they reveal a disturbing national truth: that the two-faced mantra “do as I say, not as I do” has become the unwritten golden rule of some of our most prominent liberal leaders.

So far, the popular storm that has given birth to the Tea Party in the United States has only produced provincial squalls in Canada. Yet, Mr. Bernier is one of the few links between the disparate movements that are united by their discontent at big, interventionist government.
He has emerged as a champion of zero budget growth and has spoken out against the Harper government’s habit of buying votes through baubles such as the proposed new hockey stadium in Quebec City.
Mr. Bernier himself downplays the prospect he could form a Canadian Tea Party, or move provincially. “I’m a Conservative. And these [less government, more freedom] are Conservative ideas,” he said.
