Exposing the Hypocrisy of the “Family Values” Crowd, One Right-Winger at a Time
Whose moral-value judgment do you trust more: that of Bill Clinton, who got a hummer in the Oval Office and then lied about it, or that of the august body of convicted felons, child molesters, suspected rapists, adulterers, serial gropers, and deadbeat dads hell-bent on impeaching him for that blowie after their multi-million-dollar Whitewater investigation turned up nada?

Now, which would you rather read: A reasoned, balanced, longwinded and rather dry treatise on the hypocrisy of conservatives, or an easy-to-read checklist — a scoresheet of sleaze — that illustrates, no uncertain terms, the complete lack of “honor and integrity” that is the paean of the moral-toutin’ Radical “Right”?

Guess which one you’re about to see here?

Sure, this is an ugly, sleazy thing to do, but, as I’ve said often since the birth of the Right Wing Attack Machine, it’s time we liberals stopped being so damned nice.

We are not getting through to the people who need to hear our message — or at least, that part of our message about the unfathomable hypocrisy of the party that preaches puritanism in the streets and then goes home, locks the door, and feels up the hired help.

The Republicans and their huge base of “Christian” moralists positively own this country, and want to outlaw everything from your right to free speech without fear of retribution, to your children’s right to be schooled in evolutionary science, to my right to live with the person I love.

Remember, kids:
These are the God-fearin’ righties who want to
legislate your morality and “family values”!

doing business, then much of this could be dealt with openly.

Yet now we have politicians lying and making it worse, by trying to cover up the affair.

Politicians having affairs is about as old as the country itself.

Alexander Hamilton cheated on his wife with a married woman in 1791. It only came to light when the other woman's husband was arrested for counterfeiting and trying to blackmail Hamilton.
