A lot of the arguments aren’t so much here’s why the Democrats are better as throwing more dirt up about the Republicans’ many inadequacies. For instance, on the lie that Republicans are the party of family values, Conason trots out a litany of failed Republican marriages, Republican affairs, and Republican closeted gays. Rather than examine their policies and effect on families and compare it to the Democrats’ and how the latter is better. The defense of the Democrats is limited to noting that the Clintons’ marriage has lasted decades despite problems, and that they offer pro-family policies. But Conason never explains and compares those policies. Disappointing. (Full review at my blog) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

but I think he is one of those political columnists. Apparently one that
isn't carried by any newspaper I ever read. LOL The title of the book is
what attracted me to it.
Since I tend to be more liberal than conservative, I figured I'd enjoy this
book and I did. I wish he'd have included his sources for the statements he makes. This book doesn't include footnotes or sources so it
would not be very useful as a reference, but I liked the way this guy
writes. I lived through most of what he was talking about anyway, and know
he's right for the most part. It made for interesting reading for me. I'll
give it a 4. ( )
