Not What They Seem

Are you puzzled by those Republicans and their rhetoric? Let me explain it all.

* Fred Thompson reportedly wore Gucci loafers to the Iowa State Fair. I'm not sure if the Gucci loafers were the inexpensive ones, only $425, or the more expensive ones at $1400. Here is my explanation:
1. Fred Thompson hasn't been to many state fairs.
2. Fred Thompson will not impress regular Joes and Janes with Gucci shoes.
3. Fred Thompson cannot talk about conservative values wearing Gucci shoes.

* Republicans think they are the experts in "family values." How can Republicans be 'experts' in family values if they don't value their own families?
1. Republicans do not subscribe to the following advice--- 'The best gift a father can give his children is to love their mother.' Rudy Giuliani's public adulterous affair with Judi (alleged "puppy killer") Nathan has broken his bonds with his own children. The Giuliani children, allegedly, do not want to speak to their father.
2. Multiple divorces can show that a person...
a. does not believe in being faithful.
b. does not understand that the most important ingredient in a marriage is trust.
c. is a cheater.

* Republicans do not believe in families. If they did, they would support the adoption of children by gay couples. A loving family is a family.

* Republicans do not support a woman's right to choose. How dare these old Republican white men push their beliefs on women! Why do they think they have the right to tell women what to do with their bodies? They don't know what it is like to be a woman. (Rudy Giuliani has tried to dress as a woman here and here.)

* These Republican presidential candidates all believe in continuing Bush's war in Iraq. Our country cannot allow this war to take any additional American lives and money. It is time to put an end to the war, bring our military home, and put our money to work in fixing schools, bridges, and roads.
