Confessions of a former dittohead

"Everyone knows a dittohead. In addition to being devoted listeners of Rush Limbaugh, they're also loud, judgmental, and absolutely certain they are always right. One of the most common phrases you'll hear them use is "if you only understood politics you'd be a Republican." And from national defense to fiscal policy to social issues, Rush shows them how it only works the Republican way." "Confessions of a Former Dittohead is the true story of how one average American rejected Rush Limbaugh and the Republican Party and became a liberal Democrat. Originally a diary on the popular website Daily Kos, this unique political memoir follows red-stater Jim Derych on a journey from the heart of conservative darkness to the light of liberalism.". "In addition to recounting the "thousand small cuts" that led Jim away from Rush and the Republicans - including a friend who had an abortion, a gay college roommate and an ill-fated attempt to join the Young Republicans - Confessions also discusses the major political, economic and social issues of our day, providing "insider" observations on how dittoheads think, and what liberals and progressives can do to change their thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
