I recently read somewhere that Democrats just don't have any family values and that people who call themselves "values voters" have only one option but to vote for Republicans. That's almost as laughable as saying that Republican's are the only ones who can keep us safe. We all know that 9/11 happened on Bush's and Giuliani's watch, that Giuliani has no experience in fighting terrorism, only cleaning up the aftermath of terrorist attacks. Bush has created more terrorists than he has killed by invading Iraq and since Bush has taken office, terrorism and terrorist activity is at an all time high. This means that the affect of the Rove spin machine is still relevant and or people who often vote Republican are either uninformed or stupid.
So, for all you values voters out there, here is a Republican/Democrat family values break down. I will say that if by "family values" you mean teaching your children to fear and hate anyone who is different and disagrees with them, then sure, the Republicans still have the edge on that one.
Rudy Giuliani: Married 3 Times. One marriage was to his 2nd cousin whom he cheated on with his 2nd wife. He then cheated on his 2nd wife with his third wife which then estranged him from his children.
Fred Thompson (TN): Divorced his first wife whom he married when he was 17 and she was 2 months pregnant. The first time she filed for divorce, his wife stated she was seeking the separation due to ""cruel and inhuman treatment,". He has since remarried.
John McCain (AZ): Divorced his wife when he met someone richer and hotter. Contrary to what Bush and Rove said, he did not have an illegitimate black child.
Newt Gingrich (GA): Married 3 Times, Dumped his ex-wife while she was in a hospital bed suffering from cancer, Cheated on current wife while prosecuting Clinton for getting a BJ from Monica Lewinsky.
David Vitter (LA): A proponent of abstinence only sex education and stating that marriage was a sacred union between a man and a woman, he had become a regular client of the “DC Madam”, who ran a ring of prostitutes. Vitter once stated: “by teaching teenagers that saving sex until marriage and remaining faithful afterwards is the best choice for health and happiness.” Apparently he never took an abstinence pledge.
Rush Limbaugh: Cheated on 2 of his 3 wives, made his maid score his synthetic heroin for him. Rush on the gay marriage issue: "Marriage is about raising children. That's the purpose of the institution." (July 31, 2003) His three marriages have produced 0 children. So what does he really know about "family values" if he has no real family?
Strom Thurmond (SC): When he was 22, he had sex with his 16 year old black maid who later had his daughter. He married his second wife when he was 66 years old after she, at age 23, won Miss South Carolina. Supposedly cheated on his fourth wife at the age of 88.
Mark Foley (FL): Tried to get with underage boys.
Larry Craig (ID): Tried to bone dudes in public shitters.
Ted Haggard: Anti gay Bush advisor / Televangelist and leader of the National Association of Evangelicals, smokes meth with and has anal sex with gay prostitutes.
Tom Delay (TX): Doesn't talk to his own mother, Cheated on his wife.
Jeff Gannon AKA James Guckert: Planted Whitehouse press reporter with a fake name, from a fake Bush administration "newspaper", who made false statements about Democrats when he asked Bush a staged question, who also had his nude pictures posted on numerous gay prostitution web-sites offering his services for $200 per hour.
Dan Burton (IN): Fathered Son with a different woman while he was married. After his wife died of cancer, he married her former nurse. Was also known as the biggest poon hound in the Indiana legislature.
Ironically, the loan Morman is the only one who has had just one wife.
Now let’s look at the family values of the top Democratic candidates:
Hilary Clinton (NY): Married once, one child, stuck by her husband and worked out their differences after his infidelity.
John Edwards (NC): Married once, has Children. Maintained support of his candidacy from his wife even after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Barrack Obama (IL): Married once, has children.
Joe Biden (DE): First wife and daughter died in a car accident where his two sons were also injured. Biden was sworn into office by their bed side. In order to care for them while in the Senate, Biden took and hour and a half train ride home each day from D.C. to Delaware. In 1977 Biden got remarried.
So, what was that about Family Values?
I started this blog after the 2004 election to combat the rise of religous, "Neocon" conservatism of the the Bush administration. During the time of the adults running the show, I didn't have much to write about but now that Trump and Pence have been elected, I am sure this will be as successful as the last time we elected a know nothing figure head who let his VP run this country into the ground.

The Ad Congress Should be Condemning
No, strike that. No one in Congress should be wasting their time waving their finger at someone who said something they didn't like. With a housing bust, thousands dead in Iraq, multi-billion dollar deficit, impending race riots, immigration, etc., anyone who chose to waste time and tax payer money by crying like babies about someone exercising their right to free speech and press should be fired. You can thank conservative Republican John Cornyn of Texas, for this valuable lesson in Democracy in action.
I have become a bigger fan of Obama today for not pandering to these tattle tells.
At least the Moveon ad is something that may have some truth and validity to it. Of course no one can prove that Betrayus is a puppet for the Bush regime but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
The deceitful ad below was sponsored by the group Freedom Watch, who I can assure you, has no interest in protecting our freedoms and should probably change their name to something like "We Watch as You are Deprived of Your Freedoms and Jesus Used to ride the Fag Hating Dinosaur". That would probably be a more appropriate name for their organization. The funny thing about them is that on the front page of their website, obviously a bit outdated (Computers are too scientific for Republicans) says that they are currently awaiting the Petraeus report but that no matter what he says, they are going to make sure we never pull out of Iraq. If you already know you don't want to pull out of Iraq, what does it matter what Petraeus says?? I guess its possible they already know what he is going to say because he is the Presidents bitch-boy, in that case, the Betrayus ad was right.
Moving on, here is the Freedom Watch ad linking Saddam to 9/11 which everyone except for Ari Fleischer and the 4 other guys who make up Freedom Watch (Bush included)knows is a lie. How dare they exploit a wounded American vet for their own politcal cause.
It's obvious the Republican's don't like being Swiftboated.

A Day in the Life Of a Republican
I didn't write this but it sounds like something I would have written so here it is:
Norman gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Norman gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Norman's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Norman takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Norman dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Norman begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay,medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Norman's employer pays these standards because Norman's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If he is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
Its noon time, Normie needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Norman's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect his money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.
Norma has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Normie and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
Norman is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The
house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican's would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Normie wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, where Hannity keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Norm that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit he enjoys throughout his day) Dumbass Norman agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".
