But I thought they were all about family values?

July 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

Zipper trouble for the GOP class of ‘94, “Contract With America”-types who rode into office on a wave of OUTRAGE:
In the 14 years since that star-crossed class arrived in Washington espousing an agenda that placed family values at its core, no less than a dozen of its members have been caught up in affairs, sex […]
