For all of the talk about policy, candidates, and issues, most politics boils down to individual taste. A lot of us just can't stand Democrats. And there are hundreds of things, great and small, profound and profoundly trivial, that we just hate about them. It's a personal, gut loathing that was impossible to articulate - until now.
Compiled in a handy A-to-Z format are 888 of the personal, political, cultural, and social facets of essential Democratism that drive us all up the wall, including: Affirmative Action, Bill Clinton's adultery, Alan Alda, they prefer the Fifth Amendment to the Second, they prefer Apple to IBM, Ben and Jerry's, they condone Bert and Ernie's sexually ambivalent lifestyle, Phil Donahue, eggplant on pizza, Feminazis, Inner children who should be spanked, they prefer Malcolm X to Malcolm Forbes, the National Endowment for the Arts, they prefer Om to Amen, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Political correctness, Radical chic, Tabitha Soren, Squatters, Barbra Streisand, Tofu, the Upper West Side, Veggie burgers, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, and Whitewater.
From the Author:
"I never vote for anybody, I always vote against." WC Fields
The content of this book (and its companion volume "888 Reasons to Hate Republicans: An A-Z Guide to Everything Loathsome About the Party of the Arrogant Rich") can best be summed up by the two quotations that we’ve taken as epigraphs: "Politics ... the systematic organization of hatreds."--Henry Adams, and the quote from W. C. Fields given above. These 888 short reminders of people, places, and things will make sure that your blood pressure starts to rise every time you see Teddy Kennedy on your TV. There’s not enough negativity in the current Presidential race. In an age when Jack Kemp is trying to lull the country to sleep with hour-long orations on the history of the tax code, he should be taking the traditional Vice President’s role and reminding the country about "the effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals," who would rather burn bras, flags, and draft cards than fossil fuels. Since he hasn’t, we have.
