Republican "Family Values"
Why don't we see more made of the fact that Republican "family values" is nothing but a hollow marketing ploy?

McCain cheated on his wife and dumped his family for someone new.

Not too long ago the other Republican candidates included Giuliani and Gingrich, both of whom did the same.

And they all flock to Rush Limbaugh, the thrice-divorced recovering drug addict.

WTF? I'm so sick of duking it out with these right-wing slimebags about "family values".

The right uses "family values" as nothing but a marketing tool and yet hammer home the mantra that Democrats have "no values" and "no morals".

I'm so sick of listening to it go unchallenged.

2. "Family Values" is nothing more than a cliche. A code word for anti-gay and anti-women.
