It has nothing to do with their values, or beliefs. It has to do with winning over their idiot constitutents and Money, Money, Money
Running for office? Better run from Colbert
Washington Post
Excerpt
With polls showing that the balance of power in Congress could shift from Republican to Democrat in next month’s elections, few incumbents are in the mood to take chances. Indeed, it’s been two months since a current member has appeared.
One who did appear, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), discovered the pitfalls when Colbert asked him about a bill he co-sponsored requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in the U.S. Capitol.
“What are the Ten Commandments?” Colbert asked matter-of-factly.
“What are all of them?” Westmoreland said, taken aback. “You want me to name them all?”
The June segment showed Westmoreland struggling to name just three. Westmoreland actually named seven, said his press secretary, Brian Robinson. And the remaining ones, he added, were somewhat obscure.
A Bible Belt conservative, the embarrassed Westmoreland has been trying to live down his Commandments performance. No Republican has appeared since.
H.L.s Takes
I was listening to a segment on some show, Elizabeth Dole was on and said that people should vote for Republicans becuase of their shared values. What are those?: hypocrisy, war profiteering, homosexual pedophilia, and thieivery. Most of these are against the 10 Commandents of course. By the way Here’s the video of Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) naming them. (This is the entrie Colbert Segment, the 10 Commandment part is at the end.)

Good call HL. Obviously, nothing is working for the Repubs. They’re done and will be more so later. Tar is heating up and feathers are on the way.
