Default Family Values

LOL. Rangel's having fun with those self-righteous hypocrites who hide out in the Republican Party. Maybe now more religious Christians will see the Republican Party for what it really is.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

WASHINGTON (CNN) — New York Rep. Charlie Rangel, a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton, sharply criticized Republican presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani's personal life Monday, highlighting the fact that the former New York City mayor and his wife have each been married three times.

"Two people, six spouses. It's a little complicated if you're not religious, especially if you're running against a Mormon," Rangel told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in a reference to Giuliani's chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. For the record, Romney has only been married once.

"I think America has to look at all these things, and there are enough moles on this man that embarrasses those of us who have sought public life," the 19-term New York congressman added. "When we get involved in public life, it means we're in a goldfish bowl. It would seem to me, with all the breaks the mayor had, being involved with his personal problems, he would thank God he's gotten as far as he did go without making the politicians get involved in his personal life."

Rangel brushed aside the notion that criticizing Giuliani's personal life exposes Hillary Clinton to similar criticism. The former first lady’s own marital troubles have been well documented.

By putting this POS up as the front-runner, the Rep's are conceeding this election to Hill. They want no part of this next term or the one after that. I'm surprised the dems want any part of it either. Talk about walking into a mine field set up by Bush and his pasty-faced freaky friends.

"Family values"=I hate gays, interracial marriage, and any people exercising their freedom because I am a repressed, religion-filled bag of hot air who fears anything I don't take the time to understand. Which is pretty much everything.

Two people six spouses, sounds like a couple of Hollywood Democrats to me.

That's not very diverse and open-minded of you. Besides, I know plenty of religious/conservative type people, and to my knowledge, none of them hate gays, hate interracial marriage, or people exercising freedom.

But the term 'family values' was often used as a code for, No to affirmative action, No to welfare programs that help blacks, No to civil rights for gays, etc. Of course, there are many religious conservatives whose thinking is more profound, but the Republican Party has often played the race card and the homophobia card to appeal to a disgraceful part of their base.

I agree with that. That's the nature of both political parties however. They'll both make blanket statements about their policies, then say if you don't support them that you're immoral, a racist, a bigot, etc.

There are many times that basic common sense and human nature are twisted and used by the Militant Left Wing to accuse a person of Racism & Homophobia.

When "White People Cluster Together" it is called "racism"
When "Straight People Cluster Together" it is called "homophobia"

When "Minority's Cluster Together" SILENCE
When "Homosexuals Cluster Together" SILENCE

The "Double Standard" runs rampant in Left Wing America.

I think that's part of that debate & discussion, (in)tolerance stuff I keep hearing about.
