Family values and politics

[Fresh_Start]

John Kerry's stepchildren supported his campaign.
Guilani's natural children not supporting his campaign.
Can the family values people interpret how GOP is the pro-family party?

1. Is there any argument that the "family values" people...

aren't a bunch of hypocrites?

3. I don't know if there's a connection (wink, wink)

but in this small, rural county in South Mississippi with hundreds of little baptist churchs dotting the countryside, there are DNA testing available signs tacked on every other electric pole. I guess the lil girls have to find out who their babys daddies are.

4. Or the guys are trying to find a way out of child support.

I just love bible belt family values, they have the highest divorce rates in the country.

2. gingrich begging forgiveness on dobson's outlet, case in point

dobson has looked over the field of declared gop candidates and determined that none of them hate enough or are religiously insane enough to give them his blessing. So he is giving an adulterer and an all around thoroughly disgusting human being an opportunity to beg for a second chance on his broadcast outlet. dobson does not want to sustain the land of the free, he wants to replace with the land of focus on the family.

The values of the gop are on display for all to see, but many Americans choose not to look.

Excellent three line original post. It speaks volumes.

5. My family values include...

o Dinner at the table (disclaimer: black & white TV with horrible reception on all four channels).

o I *quit* drinking beer when I was twelve. Started again when I was twenty-one, but that isn't important.

o Took family trip to Cincinnati Reds baseball game every summer.

o Had access to the porn stash from as far back as I can remember.

o Went on a family holiday at least once a year.

o Spent a lot of time playing pool in the bar while my parents were drinking.

o Worked the family farm.

o Spent a lot of summer nights during my late childhood/early teens at the late-night honky-tonk dance club.

o Mom & Dad were the adult 4-H leaders of the girl's and boy's 4-H clubs respectively. My sister and I both took a stint as adult 4-H leaders in later years ourselves.

o Dad handed out condoms to the boys after 4-H club meetings.

o Dad led the battle to keep the 3 room elementary school out in the farmland where we went to school open (and which cranked out the valedictorian for the high school in town 13 years running).

o Dad supplied the beer as long as my teenage friends and I stayed on the farm (camping).


My concept of family values is a lot different than most people's. As difficult as it has made it to understand most people outside the family, I wouldn't trade my upbringing. Because in my lay opinion most of those people (and, yeah, that means most of you) are nucking futs!
