While people like John Edwards and Bill Clinton are tremendous creeps and scumbags, they didnt run on a platform espousing family/conservative values. They left that stuff out entirely when they were running. I wish more Republicans would run on actual issues and not this family value single-issue crap.

Acknowledging that you have a fricking family isn't the same thing as a family values platform. The latter is all a bunch of pandering bullshite about returning to "traditional" values such as marriage between a man and a woman, our Judeo-Christian roots, etc etc. It's appealing to all the single issue voters who think gay marriage is ruining the country.
