Bill Maher New Rules "The GOP - Cratchit Job"
Bill Maher's season finale of 'New Rules' ended with a commentary on GOP/Republican values including self-reliance as understood by all of the current Republican candidates. It's interesting to me that when you look at their policies (including far right Libertarian ones as well), the people that espouse them really resent being called out for uncaring, or lacking compassion; A charge that obviously bothered George Bush, who promised a new type of conservatism-- "with compassion." But that was over a decade ago: today's current body of Republican candidates are running a primary race to the right that will leave their eventual nominee in a nearly impossible situation for winning. Mr. Maher captures the essence of several policy proposals of the current slate of Republicans, policy proposals so radical even Ebeneezer Scrooge would blanch; and I have to agree with his assessment.
