You're absolutely right. The Republicans are acting too much like Democrats to even be considered the "family values" party anymore.

You are asking us to move down to these "moral people
Clinton - the admitted adulterer (several times) who lied until he was the 2nd president in history to be impeached.
Wife Hillary has known & played dumb so she could run for office one day. She did throw lamps at him & I bet that felt good. Has had 3 opinions in 2 days about of military. Plus the rumors about her "girlfriends" - personally I do not think she likes men or woman.
John F Kennedy - who cheated & had his mistress sing in a see through dress at a public affair that his wife attended with the press. Her suicide has always been doubted.
Ted Kennedy - drunk, killed his mistress in lake & car. Cheats numerous times.
Young nephew Kennedy who raped girl & played I was drunk card.
Obama admitted drug user.
Edwards made his money suing companies for stupid reasons - you know like hot coffey from McDonalds will burn you if you drive & drop it in your lap. No rocket scientist
is needed to know coffey is hot but why is McDonald responsible. Maybe, we should not drink & drive anything including coffey. He is also the enviormentalist that clear cut 100 acres of his 132 acres to make room for a huge horse barn, indoor basketball courts, indoor tennis courts, indoor hockey & indoor walkways between them & his 29,000 square foot home that he & his wife said was not grand. Just a home for their children. 6 million dollar house with those admenties is grand anywhere you live. Practice what you preach. A Republican would not deny the grand house they built just that the earned it. Maybe Edwards did not feel he could say he earned it. His lack of honesty & family values did not allow him to take the vote in his home state & he will not take North Carolina again.
All of them are pro-abortion, all wat to take the rights of arents in education choices, birth control choices, & all
three will get us killed with their Iraq choices.
My family has not had a divorce in at least 5 generations, but I do not believe it makes people immoral. Cheating is immoral but admitting & saying I am sorry is the only solution - you know repentance. I would rather someone divorce that was not happy than lie to everyone for political reasons. Most men who confess to adultery are divorced on both sides. When did McCain admit to adultery & when he he say he does whatever it takes. Are you making things up as you go? I thought so!!
Not getting along with your kids does not make you immoral just not a great Dad. Most children pick a parent to blame & will have trouble with that parent.
I notice you skipped the Republican canidate Mitt Romney - was his over 35 yrs of happy marriage too much for you to overcome. And do not stoop to the religion junk. I am Mormon so your lies about Mormons will not work on me.
I know the truth.
I will take open divorces of Republicans to lying immoral crimes anytime.
Yes, illegal drug use is illegal, murder, rape, & even lyinh in court is illegal & immoral.

That is why most conservitives, feel there is no true conservitive canidate right now. However we also can see by looking back at the last election that maybe it is time to go more moderate.

It depends on how you define "family," which is where all the buzz on gay marriage comes in.
I personally think "family values" is a nice way of justifying a traditional point of view without having to defend it (especially when you're speaking to someone who is negatively affected by "family values").
