Family Values

I have decided that I will no longer vote for any candidate who says he/she is for family values. Isn't nearly everyone for family values? It isn't reasonable to expect to win my vote by saying, "I stand for family values."

It also seems that he who yells "I am for family values" the loudest is the one most likely to be having an affair, chasing interns, and now looking for sex in the men's room. Think Senator Craig, Mark Foley, Livingston, Henry Hyde etc.

"I stand for family values" is a catchphrase that means nothing and may in fact be a sign of some untoward activities. I want someone who stands for growing our economy, fixing immigration, handling medical and tort reform, ending the war in Iraq at whatever is the appropriate time, and being a good steward of our environment. That is only reasonable.
