Republican Hypocracy

Digby writes about Giuliani. Dittohead In Chief.

"In spite of their paeans to patriotism and religion, I have always believed that the heart of the conservative movement was really just simple racism and authoritarianism and all their bleating about "values" is a nothing more than a weapon with which to hit Democrats over the head. After all, the highest rates of divorce, single motherhood and abortion are in the deepest of conservative red states. There's a lotta preachin' but not a lot of practicin'."

"[Guiliani] has to go straight for the Republican id. And unsurprisingly the polls indicate that the Republican base is liking what it hears. And why wouldn't they? Rudy's campaigning as if he were a right wing talk show host. They didn't care that Rush was a thrice married drug addict and they don't care that Rudy's a thrice married, pro-choice cross dresser. They just hate Democrats, period, and they don't care what you do or even what you believe, as long as you hate Democrats too. Rudy is the first full-blown dittohead presidential candidate."
