Values? We don't need no steenking values!
The Family Research Council at its Values Voters Summit makes it very clear that they have never looked up the word in a dictionary. The are people who oppose a presidential candidate that is still happily married to his first wife. They support a candidate who, upon returning from a 5 year imprisonment, found his wife terribly injured and disfigured by an automobile accident. So he took off chasing every skirt he could paw until he found a rich babe who would have him. In his haste they took out a marriage license a month before his divorce from his first wife was final.
They oppose a VP candidate who returned home every night from the Senate to rear his remaining children after his wife and daughter were killed in an automobile accident. They support a VP candidate whose values include allowing a daughter to run around and get knocked up while requiring a judge to admonish her and her family for trash talking the father of her sister's children during their divorce. The judge compared their actions to child abuse.
But their worst effort is the unabashed racism evident in the "Obama Waffles" being sold at the summit and other places. It seems one of the values so cherished by this group is best summed up by the classic line from "Blazing Saddles". You remember, when the new sheriff greets one of the towns ladies, her response is, "Up yours, nigger!"
I think it is obvious that Republican Party driven by Karl Rove has a good idea how they want to win the election.
