Over the past two decades a highly organized, extremely well-funded, and ambitious conservative movement has altered American electoral politics. Demagoguery is increasingly supplanting responsible dialogue and betraying the founding principles of liberty and equality of the nation. Now, the author of "Worse Than Watergate" examines the legacies of old line conservatives from J. Edgar Hoover to Jack Abramoff to present a compelling argument of the methods conservatives use to push the country further and further from its constitutional foundations. This is an eye-opening record of the abuses of power of some conservatives and the dangerous ramifications of their actions.
