Value Families
ILLUSTRATED: One of John Kerry's best lines was that we should stop preaching family values and start enacting policies that value families.
Hopefully the Larry Craig story will help a critical mass of Americans see through empty rhetoric about "family values". That phrase is simply a catch phrase that appeals to a certain constituency that has a certain lifestyle and conception about what a household is. But conservative politicians are just people, with all typical human conditions.
Everyone wants to be in a functional household. We now need to link Democratic policies to keeping families in tact. That means children's health insurance, job re-training programs, support for child care, and of course a robust retirement and health care system for the elderly.
Democrats = good family life
