Why is it that so many of these "family values" Repukes divorce
their wives and marry much younger women? (usually from their staff)

2. What they really value is money and young wives. Young is
25 years older than his wife.

3. In the buckle of the bible belt...
known as Oklahoma, I believe we have the highest divorce rate in the US. Yay for us! And my neighbors were pissed when I lived with my husband before we got married. Hah!

4. Because for them, Family Values = Man is King.
The male head of household can do no wrong, in their utopian view. God has said they are to rule their household. And if that same God leads them to a younger woman, he must be working in mysterious ways that no one should question.

6. After all, it is not THEIR fault that the GOOD LORD'S WILL...
has been subverted by modern medicine!

If their older wives had just died in childbirth like
the good lord had meant them to, nobody would be
complaining about their younger second wives!

Jeez!

10. one must understand the context of what...
...Republicans mean by "family values"...it's not the 'values' per se, it's the 'family' that holds them...say, the Gotti's, the Gambino's, the Luciano's, etc... (don't believe what you see on the Soprono's: real mafioso aren't that bright or nice).

11. It's Plain, Unvarnished Patriarchy
and even the most sheltered, cloistered and ignorant woman in the remotest corners of the earth are not buying it as a lifetime commitment. Because no woman can win in that game. Ever. Except Linda Lay.

13. Defend Marriage - We need an amendment that outlaws females at workplaces
as they are likely to tempt happily married men into sinning with them.

Defend Marriage - We need an amendment that outlaws alcohol as it leads to men into sinning against their families.

Defend Marriage - We need an amendment that outlaws gambling as it leads men into sinning against their families.

Defend Marriage - We need an amendment that forces employers' to pay LIVABLE WAGES so poverty does not endanger the safety and wellbeing of a man's family.

Let's vote on these.
