Somebody wrote a letter to the editor that they are voting McCain/Palin for their family values!?

[WI_DEM]

John and Cindy with their son in the military--Sarah Palin the ultimate "hockey mom" taking care of a downs syndrome baby.

Why do people think that the Republicans are so good on family values?

Let's face it. John McCain was a serial cheater who left his first wife after she was disfigured in an accident for his current wife.

Sarah Palin has had trouble with her oldest son having trouble with the law and he may have had to join the military to avoid jail. She has one teenage daughter who is pregnant (lots of parents experience this). She seems to hand off her Downs Syndrome baby to everybody and anybody.

Yet Barack and Michelle have been happily married for 16 years and have two good and well adjusted daughters and nobody mentions the Obama's family values.

What gives?

1. So, family values includes inciting violence?

Who knew? :shrug:

2. ...

"Family values" = no blacks in the family. :sarcasm:

4. You nailed.

Had no idea a cheating husband who calls his wife a cunt, and a woman with a pregnant teenage daughter were suddenly the pinnacle of family values. But hey, I've been wrong before. lol

3. Republicans have teams who write LTTEs

5. LOL! Let's see: Drug abuse, adultery, divorce, teen pregnancy--yep, got some family values

going on there, GOP style.

6. You have a link to this?

That LTTE deserves a smackdown response on just how dysfunctional McCain's and Palin's families are.

7. Family values

This is a copy of another reply I posted earlier in a simialr thread about Wildmon's ultra-right "Christian family" group.

American families have suffered in unprecedented ways in the last eight years.
Families have been splintered forever due to the loss of a family member in a country that we invaded under false pretenses put forth by REPUBLICANS.
Families have seen their savings depleted by fiscal policies put forth by REPUBLICANS.
Families have lost their freedoms - on the internet, on their telephone, during travel due to policies put forth by REPUBLICANS.
Families have suffered extreme hostility in the form of debilitating economic policies, education cuts, and no health care - all presided over by the REPUBLICANS.
Families have been repeatedly lied to by an administration led by a REPUBLICAN.

8. Hypocrisy is what gives.

Republikans excel at it. Especially right before an election, or whenever one of their own get caught doing something unsavory.
