very basic term for liberal politics
'''Duplicity''' literally means having two sides. It is used when someone acts in contradictory ways and keeps these two sides secret from each other. A typical example, common among [[liberal]] politicians, is to say one thing while doing another. For example, Barack Obama has spoken at length about [[campaign finance reform]] and restricting campaign donations from [[lobbyist]]s and [[political action committee]]s (PACs). Yet it has been reported that Obama continues to receive campaign money indirectly during his presidential campaign from such donors.<ref>[http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/08/09/pacs_and_lobbyists_aided_obamas_rise/ Boston Globe]</ref><ref>[http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00009638&cycle=2008 Open secrets]</ref>
