Re: What Background Does A "Family Values" Politician Have To Have To Not Be Attacked

1) Against abortion rights
2) Against any kind of premarital or extramarital sex.
3) Against any kind of marriage aside from one man, one woman.
4) Goes to church and is generally seen to be in favor of religion.

What does the background of a politician have to be in order for you to consider their personal lives of them or their family to be off limits to attack or insult?

I'm betting I know the answer from many.
Its the values that are under attack. It could be a Leaping Lesbian Latino of Color, and they would still be mocked. Probably more so, because more "protected" your status, the more you are attacked for "treasonous" behaviors.

That is why Palin is attacked so viciously. She has become influential without singing the feminazi tune.
