Can we finally just admit the whole "family values" schtick was BS?

What's the problem, it sounds like he was going for a visitation. He's not a baby daddy.

So let me get this straight, do you think that politicians, whether they be Republican, or Democrat are some how representative of the values of the citizens of this nation?

Did you not read the title of this thread before you clicked on it, or are you just a moron?

So how did you get:

1) Republicans were just pandering when they claimed to be the party of Family Values.

2) A display of Republicans not walking the walk

to:

3) The people Republicans are pandering to don't have Family Values.






So I take it you are saying you can read, but you just can't comprehend?

Take whatever you'd like. I asked a fair question. If you dislike it, so be it.

I will say the same thing to this thread that I said to Tasvir's thread on homosexual marriage: A little bit of anecdotal evidence, used to draw a general conclusion for a whole group of people, is not sound reasoning.

Because some Republicans obviously did not share the "family values" line that the party promoted, does that in any way prove or tend to prove that for the whole party is was just a sham? No, it doesn't. The very attempt to use such lame reasoning, based on such a blatant fallacy, shows you are grasping at straws and simply promoting partisan judgments about how "the other guys" are all bad.

What is this sentence supposed to mean?

Ask Kirk.



I personally think it is bullshit.

You have to admit, the last couple of years have not been good for the Republicans on the Family Values front. The best that could be said of this is that at least he's fucking a chick.





The real news in this is that it looks like yet another R incumbant that isn't going to be running again this fall.

If the Dems don't sweep the House with a 60% majority, they got no one to blame but themselves.

Yep, sure is.

You've got the real news right, especially considering that this is the prototype of a district that the Democrats should have an excellent chance to pick up following a vacancy or with a severely weakened incumbent--the district wasn't a completely blow out in the House race in 2006 (57-43), and voter registration has flopped to a strong Democratic plurality in recent years (47 D, 29 R, 25 Other).

Still, even I'm not that up on the Democrats chances. They're not going to end up with 261 House seats, just 240-50.

'family values' is as much political bs as the whole schtick about "working families". Saying the rich don't work is just pandering to a different interest group.

Cant we agree that both parties have been feeding the people with BS?

True, although one is pandering to a group that is interested in having the government have more power and control over their lives.

Well if we did not that might eliminate the need for us to have two different political parties.
