Quote from ByLoSellHi:
AAA - this isn't directed towards you (you attacked Krugman, not me, even though I don't think you did an effective job rebutting Krugman op/ed piece).
If you guys are going to personally attack someone, you're not going to get much respect from independents or objective people.
Here are the facts, that you can try to dispute if you want, but good luck:
Romney and Guliani both spoke before a overwhelmingly conservative and religious GOP Convention.
Both Romney are pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, and anti-gun Republicans.
It is incredible to me that Guliani, especially, would be so cheered and adored by the most right wing elements of the Republican Party, given that he is fervently pro-choice, pro-gay marriage and anti-gun. These are some of the core issues of the extreme right, and the fact that he is at 180 degree odds with them highlights the hypocrisy of the whole notion of him speaking at the GOP Convention.
Guliani also praised Bernard Kerik, who was a criminal, and Guliani cheated on his wife in a long-standing adulterous relationship.
Romney is among the most socially liberal governor of any state - he is the reason why it's legal to have gay marriage in Massachussetts.
I'm sorry if SOME of you don't like it when people post FACTS that highlight the fractured hypocrisy of the GOP, but I sure know that I've hit a nerve when the personal attacks ensue.
If these guys want to throw stones while they live in glass towers, and criticize people who are far more like them than unlike them, and if the extreme right wing is too ignorant to recognize these fundamental FACTS, then I guess it confounds me, but that I ultimately accept it.
