This is Great from E.J. Dionne, Jr. from WaPo

This is from this morning column of E.J. Dionne:

"Do conservative politicians who care primarily about taxes and the interests of big business merely use "conservative values" as a slogan for attracting votes from the less well-off who gain little or nothing from their economic programs? Are conservatives perfectly happy to condemn liberals for being "permissive" but unwilling (especially after a primary) to say a critical word about their business allies when they use sex to sell products and increase profits? If Bill Armstrong thought Pete Coors's values were so defective before Tuesday, why should he think they are fine now that Coors is the Republican candidate?"

"What do conservatives really care about -- their values or their incomes? The Colorado Senate race gives them an excellent opportunity to show what matters most."

AS I ALWAYS SAY - THEY ARE JUST BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!!!  HYPOCRITES!!!  HYPOCRITES!!!

  •  E.J. Dionne just explained the FOX Network (none / 1)

    conundrum.  FOX pushes 'family values' candidates with their political hacks, then shows sex, violence, etc... on their entertainment arms FX, Fox TV, etc.

  •  The great fornicators for Fox (none / 0)

    Then Fox has Guilani and Newt " 3 wives " Gingerich on for political commentary. no double standard here . Just hypocrisy at its best
  •  There was a time when ... (none / 0)

    ...I still lived in Colorado, that Bill Armstrong was considered to be one of the three most conservative Senators in Washington. Those were the days when he said things like Social Security being the worst thing the Democrats ever did to America. I am sure he would have preferred neandercon Joe Coors to be running for the Senate seat this year - but Joe's been dead for a while, so Petey will have to do.
