Examples of Republican hypocrisy on moral values

[icymist]

I was just reading Mark Morford's article today, Just How Gay Is The GOP, when I clicked on his first link revealing this wonderful list of 104 Republican hyprocrytes. Along with each name on the list is a link to the source. Check it out:

2. The link on the lst is now closed, but after google-ing, I found this:

Theodore Robert Bundy born November 24, 1946, Burlington, Vermont, U.S. died January 24, 1989, Starke, Florida Ted Bundy: Alias: Chris Hagen. Serial murderer and rapist, one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century in the US.

Bundy was born out of wedlock and spent his early years ih Vermont living with his grandparents. After his mother took custody of him and remarried she raised him as her younger brother. He grew up in the north end residential area of Tacoma, WA where he was a Boy Scout. He had a difficult relationship with his stepfather; and his shyness made him a target of bullying. Bundy's killer instincts may have started when he was a 14-year-old paperboy. Ann Marie Burr, an 8-year-old girl, mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night and has never been found. After he graduated from the University of Washington he attended the University of Washington Law School while doing charity work and campaigning for the US Republican Party. He developed a series of normal relationships with women.

Just the sort of little tidbit one likes to drop in "casual" conversation!!! (Although, in my case there's rarely anything casual about it).

4. Yeah. I like to think of Ted Bundy as the serial killer Republican Campaigner.

Wouldn't anyone just want someone like Ted Bundy knocking on your door asking who you would vote for?
