I love this guy.

You guys are still missing the point behind what Bernie is saying. Corperatations have made out like bandits under guidance from the GOP, who panders to their voters by promoting classic conservative family values, yet at the same time the GOP doesn't put an ounce of value on the financial well being of the American family unless they are worth over 10 million dollars. It's all a smoke screen.

I just re-read it...and it actually doesn't say any of that....it does state..

When my Republican colleagues talk about “family values,” what they usually mean is opposition to a woman’s right to choose, opposition to contraception, opposition to gay rights. Let me today give a somewhat different perspective on family values – on real family values. as Detbuch pointed out...after reading the article you're still left wondering what "real family values" are according to Bernie

Republicans have been calling themselves the party of family values while carrying out an ideological agenda that weakens and undermines the economic security of the nation’s families. like welfare?

Republicans oppose any steps that would strengthen families.huh?

Conservatives hijacked the term family values (thought the word "hijacked" was banned from political discourse because of the whole terrorist thingy")

there's also the various "attacks" on the family mentioned from things like cancer, babies, the common flu and work commitments(some people refer to this as "life") that are just completely unfair.....

Bingo. Another broad, baseless claim, he offered no support, he didn't refute any of the pro-family policies that Republicans support.

Nebe, there are a ton of unanswered questions in that piece. No one party has a monopoly on good or evil, and anyone who says otherwise, is a sinmpleton and a hack who is trying to take you for a sucker.

There you have it. A self-serving bullsh*t liberal myth that is easily disproven.

Here in CT, all the liberals do is tax and spend. Much of the spending goe sto liberal pet projects that in no way benefit the rapidly shrinking middle class, but we will still get stuck with the bill

You also seem to believe that anything that helps business necessarily hurts families. That's not true, what's good for a business can also be good for a family, because most families derive their oay from a business of buy things from a business. Businesses are not all evil and sinister.

not evil at all.....my business employed ten to twelve people....thru out the years they were able to put food on the table...buy vechicles...go on vacations and some had enough since to invest...and they all helped me make money(profit)....
