JMU Duke has been on top of the hypocrisy of Republicans when it comes to questions of moral values. The tendency of Republican politicians to condemn without a bit of notice to the beam in their own eye is pretty outrageous. But this trend extends beyond those issues to taxes as well. Earlier I reported on the Big Lie that Cuccinelli, O’Brien and countless other Republican officials have told when signing these “anti-tax pledges”. And today the narrative continues. The Republican-controlled Board for Prince William County (home of great wingnuts like BVBL) had an opportunity to derail the recent transportation tax increases last night, but instead voted almost unanimously to approve the new taxes.
The title “Republican Division” refers to the gap between Republican rhetoric and reality. The gap between words and deeds. The gap between Republican politicians and Republican voters.
It seems that even Republicans don’t really believe in the crazy ideology they espouse in order to get their base riled up for election time. When will their “base” get a clue?
