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

Assume a politician male or female, Democrat or Republican believes the following:

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.
If someone claimes to be against abortion rights, then has an abortion, they deserve the flack.

If they are against premarital sex, and prefer abstinance education, then their daughter gets knocked up, you deserve the flack for it.

Simple as that.
