Damn, that woman's a hazard to her husband's health.

They believe their views are supported by the morality of political correctitude and the attandant justification of any means at hand to advance the interests of a "protected" class of people.

You, on the other hand were merely voicing offense at the tasteless and inconsiderate exploitation of the persons and privacy of the family of the opposing political candidate for personal gain.

There is, of course no comparison. Conventional restraints do not apply to Democrats in pursuit of the interests of their single issue constituencies of zealots.

"Moral correctitude" is a silly undiscerning notion, applicable anywhere and effectively meaningless except as thoughtless coded derogation. Liberals, Christians, Gays, Conservatives, Irish cross-dressers...pick your justly burdened beast and toss a glib curse at his defenders.

Must ... not ... use ... rolling eyes ... smiley ... must ... not ... :wink:

I just realized that myself. What a bizarre coincidence having Houston and Boston in the WS. It's like when the Patriots won the Superbowl after 9/11.

Can I do it for ya, nimh?

:-D

S.C. GOP Nominee Regrets Remarks
Gays, Single Moms as Teachers Faulted

The Republican nominee in South Carolina's hard-fought U.S. Senate race apologized yesterday for saying gays and unmarried mothers should not teach in public schools, but he stopped short of retracting the statements.

Jim DeMint said he regretted the comments, made in a recent debate, because they distracted voters from "real issues" such as jobs and national security. Repeatedly asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether gays and single mothers should qualify as teachers, DeMint said local school boards should decide. [..]

Regarding abortion, DeMint said he would outlaw the procedure under all circumstances, including rape and incest. He declined to say whether the mother, father or doctor should be prosecuted if an abortion is performed. "We'll just have to decide that," he said. [..]

Russert aired a recent debate clip in which DeMint said, "If a person is a practicing homosexual, they should not be teaching in our schools." DeMint later said he felt the same "if a single woman who is pregnant and living with her boyfriend should be hired to teach my third-grade children."

DeMint apologized yesterday for the remarks because they "distracted from the real debate." He repeatedly declined to address the remarks' substance, saying local school boards should decide who teaches.
