Some Words

I try to stay away from politics on this blog, but I couldn’t pass this one up.

I love this. The Republican spin is hilarious. I’m used to seeing good spin from them, spin that makes me gnash my teeth. The whole, “making us work is bad for family values” is amazing. Seriously, who thought of that? Did it go through any sort of review process before it was wheeled out?

Sure, it’s hard on some families, just over 200 of them. If these reps didn’t think their marriages could handle the results of their actually being elected, clearly they shouldn’t have run. Maybe, if it’s hard on their family, they should term limit themselves? That would be a healthy trend in America, people actually retiring to spend more time with their family, instead of using it as an excuse.

All anyone has to do is stand up, say, “Why not work to legislate to help the American family? Many of them are working longer hours than you will be, just to make ends meet.”
