http://www.gophypocrites.com/2005/12/hyp05053.html Santa and his elves didn't just bring stockings full of goodies for the kiddies on Christmas, he also brought with him a bountiful bag of Republican hypocrisy.
Take Tennessee Republican State Senator Jeff Miller, your average "family values" GOP poseur. The family always comes first to senator Miller, except when you are going through a divorce and a local newspaper talks about your dating.
Then family values takes second place to threatening advertisers in the local newspaper -- the Bradley News Weekly to be specific. Miller told local retailers in a town about 20 miles from Chattanooga, "Myself and many others are going to be watching in the next several weeks to identify and remember those in this community that wish to subsidize the destructive nature of this type of publication in our community."
Whoa! This guy is a Dick Cheney wannabe!
But the Bradley News Weekly, unlike the national mainstream media, knows a Republican hypocrite when it smells one. "Your platform is that of a guy who believes in the sanctity of marriage, and that marriage should be between one man and one woman. And your behavior doesn't support your platform. So, we report it," editor Barry Graham shot back at Miller in a recent issue.
