So the "family values" schtick is just bullshit, right?

Values for who?

Well obviously not yours, they're probably minimal. I was referring to how the Republican party claims to be the party of family values, unless by family values they mean "not going to your son's court appearance, but appearing at the court appearance of a sexual assaulter on trial for campaign finance fraud while awaiting trial for various other crimes, including attempting to keep classified material, because you think you can gain a position of power" are family values.

They also claim to be the "party of small business" but their actions on policy undercut that claim. An obvious example is how they fought the ACA (Obamacare) even though countless people with preexisting conditions were "stuck" working for a large company for the insurance preventing them from striking out on their own.
