In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher And Chris Matthews Fight With Conservative Guest Over Why GOP Hates Obama [View all]Patiod
(11,816 posts)51. Carville's rationale:
He says that they agree on basic moral and "family values" (about the importance of hard work, putting family first, etc) and religious faith (I think they're both Catholic). He feels that political values are of little importance compared with that. I tend to disagree - like you, I have a tough time with the "values" of most of the "I got mine" Republican douchebags I know.
Although I do have a few old-fashioned-Republican friends whose values I generally share (none are gun fanatics or conservative in areas like gay rights) but they wouldn't be conservative enough to be Fox "News" commentators like Matelin.
