| Publisher Description: YOU DON'T KNOW ME: A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO REPUBLICAN FAMILY VALUES outlines the hypocrisy behind some key G.O.P. platforms. In an easy to use A-Z format, Win McCormack demonstrates right-wing depravity from adultery to zoophilia. With a mix of high-profile offenders--such as Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Bill O'Reilly, and Larry Craig--and under-the-radar scandals, You Don't Know Me makes a strong case that Republican finger pointing is no more than another instance of the pot calling the kettle black. |
