Why do conservatives value Self-Righteousness and Hypocrisy?

    

 This poll goes with the article:

Fatally Flawed Conservative Values; on Hypocrisy
Several people I asked about the failure of conservative values mentioned hypocrisy. Michelle, Owen and Steve brought up areas of conservative hypocrisy in; family values, education, finance, the economy, the occupation of Iraq and in human rights. While we all may exhibit varying degrees of hypocrisy in our lives, it seems that the conservative movement has embraced and institutionalized this value.

Why do conservatives seem to value Self-Righteousness and Hypocrisy?

They are self deceived and don't even see their own self-righteousness and hypocrisy.
They know that being self-righteous will get them power.
They can feel superior to others and enjoy their vices at the same time.
Varying degrees of all of the above.
They don't value self-righteousness and hypocrisy but instead value integrity?
Others, please explain.
