Hey, he didn’t fuck or hit with his car anyone who WASN’T family, did he???

The gold star for TN hypocrites still has to be Scott DesJarlais, another family values physician-cum-congressman who pulled a gun on his now-ex wife, and made his mistress (who was a patient, too) have an abortion.

Mae Beavers! She doesn’t sound as cool as her cousin Ethel in Pawnee.

One could say he “values family” more than his other patients..

Weaseleyes only paid her $15/hr, too. I mean, for being a licensed practical nurse.

Because don’t you know that the leading cause of homosexuality among school-aged children is mentioning “homosexuality” to them? It’s true. My pastor said it. He called it “the spoken word syndrome” and told us that if we wanted to get into heaven we could never say the words “homosexuality”, “homosexual”, “bisexual”…

“Let he who hath never fuckedeth his married cousin after givingeth to her a shitload of Oxy casteth thy first stone.”

Louie Gohmert who said Mexicans have luscious cantaloupe-like ankles, and is afraid of town halls because Gabby Gifford got shot, is still in office.

Married and divorced four times? There isn’t even a single word in the vein of thrice to describe that

But the Gaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyssssssssssssss!!!!!!!...

All you have to do is change the definition of family values, and voila, you’re still conforming to your platform.

This sounds absolutely ridiculous to me, at a Jerry Springer level…how can anyone like this even get voted in to office? But then again, it’s probably just me being an immigrant who just doesn’t understand and hasn’t assimilated to these conservatives’ so called “American culture”.

It’s hilarious how economic anxiety is only a thing when it’s felt by white men, and can be used to explain every social horror that white men and women support: sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.

Honestly I don’t see it as a chicken and egg thing. Only 31% of white men voted for Hillary. Liberals don’t need to refocus on whites, they need to double down on being a party with actual principles and progressive values. Focusing on racist, sexist xenophobes with “economic anxiety” won’t bring anyone in, it’ll push…

Exactly. This person is talking about “focusing” on economic issues while ignoring the fact that only through constant effort do we maintain the progress we’ve made on women’s rights, civil rights, queer rights, etc.

don’t you love when white guys say “lets focus on the real issues!” and those are like... only the issues that effect them. because they literally don’t realize that because of their privilege, they get to have the most common ground issues. while everyone else has the same issues they complain of AND MORE. and its…

I don’t think that “handwringing” is really the term to use when our side lost. When you lose to someone like Donald Trump, it’s worth trying to figure out where you fucked up.

Ironically, it seems like you have done a poor job of conveying your point. If there is not active resistance to the conservatives on those issues, then the people affected will see huge losses in their protection. I can’t think of a way to deprioritize those without hurting people. Because, unless I’m mistaken, that…

You’re so right!! White people had a super-special, unique kind of “economic anxiety” that made them vote for a dude that pissed one billion dollars of people’s 401k investments away, put hundreds of small businesses to death via non payment, declared 5 bankruptcies, hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years, shoved Atlantic…

Remember on election day when all those idiot men at Deadspin said they weren’t voting or were voting third party or various other dumb shit?
