First of all, I don’t need to read his record as he was my Senator for 12 years. I think he is incredible and did a super job for Pennsylvania. He voted with the party on some votes and he voted for Unions in Pennsylvania because Pennsylania is a union state and does not have right to work at this time. This was back when union was not an evil word.
As far as your notion that families don’t matter....bull crap. They are the number one importance. The reason that Italy and others are not does well is because they are NOT having children. They are dying on the vine and people like you would love for that to happen to America. You sound like a fiscal person but not much of a social conservative. From the sounds of your post, you clearly are pro-choice.
Family values are the core of the America and you either need to get on board or you will be disappointed on Tuesday. Newt will win ONE STATE on Tuesday and that is it. ONE STATE and he thinks that is all he needs. ONE STATE!!!!! Well I guess if he is that delusional, I can’t stop him and you guys are eating it up. 23 states including Super Tuesday will be done and Newt will have 2 wins out of 23 states.....Not good at all.
Family values are the most important issue we have. The problem is that we as a country have brought in divorce, abortion and other ills into society and that is why we are broke!!!!
Those are some awfully big assumptions you’re making to win your argument.
Again, please, elaborate: What ARE family values? So far, I have from you: anti-divorce, anti-abortion. Like you, I believe both of those things have hurt America, and I think objection to both of those things fall under the purview of Christian values. But FRiend, if you were able to all of the sudden legislate human nature to make divorce and abortion disappear tomorrow, the price of gas would STILL be close to $5 a gallon.
You are "thinking" with your emotions, and I think you are doing it in no small part because it lets you feel morally superior to others. STOP IT and start using logic and reason. REDUCE GOVERNMENT if you want a more moral society. Electing a Church Lady holier-than-thou moralizing president is the wrong way to go about reducing government.
FRiend, you are so wrong, so far off base, that it would be funny if it wasn't so disgusting. I have been writing about the destruction of divorce and the destructiveness of feminizing American males for YEARS on FR. Furthermore, I come from a very large, very close family, and I live in a neighborhood with lots and lots of kids, and the kids' presence here is one of the main things that make this neighborhood so attracive. I know EVERY BIT AS WELL AS YOU, how much families matter and there is every possiblity that I know it BETTER than you.
I also know, however, that families are only a PART of the whole picture, and that ONLY arrogant, snotty, mean people flaunt their family in the faces of those not blessed likewise in order to make those people perceive that they're less valuable to society.
You need a good swift kick in the ass, and I can think of a lot of good, upright, family men who would love to give it to you for being so self-righteous.
