Let's not forget "family values", a big mantra of the GOP.
The idea that the nuclear marital family is the environment that, in the aggregate, provides the best outcome for children, is statistically demonstrable. The idea that we ought to, as a society, encourage childbirth within the confines of the nuclear marital family, and discourage out-of-wedlock childbirth, by fostering public policy that achieves those aims, is a good reason to vote Republican. Stable family units don't just happen. I'm a safety-net supporter, but I don't think it's inappropriate to examine how safety-net programs encourage out-of-wedlock births and single parent households, both of which, IMO, undermine the stability a middle-class society needs to maintain itself.
I agree that voters in AL have to deal with the fact that Moore has lost all credibility on subjects like this.
As previously noted, the strongest reason NOT to vote for my party is for support of economic policies that tear up nuclear families 1000 times more than rap lyrics, gay marriage, or any other social advance beyond an idealized Leave it To Beaver world.
Regarding Alabama voters, no, 80-90% of leftists here (the obvious exceptions are obvious) the were tbe situation reversed Jones is a bastard.
I'm no leftist, but I would.
