We chose Which family ?

Palin vs. Johnston:  In “Joe the plummer” terms: “If you are going to talk the talk, then you had better walk the walk.” 

John Ridley observes in HuffPost: “From the time that “Family Values” became an empty phrase regularly trotted around the political arena with all the reverence of the last surviving soldier of a war that was never actually fought, the totality of the family which occupies the White House has reached the same level of curiosity as the quadrennial question of whether or not a presidential candidate can bowl above one hundred.  The shocking, never-saw-it-coming implosion of the forced relationship between Bristol Palin and self-described “f***in’ redneck” Levi Johnston underscores the fact that America sent the right family to Washington.  With regard to Bristol and Levi, regardless of how loving, committed, devoted and generally available a parent is, no parent can guarantee how far an apple will fall from the tree. However, knowing that, no parent should seek higher office on the rhetoric of abstinence only/ sanctity of marriage/gays-are-ruining-family-for-us so let me impose my “values” on you for you. Especially when the empirical evidence is those “values” do not work beneath the very roof from which they are being espoused.” 

Make that Correct, Better family, not the ‘right’ family, as ‘right’ is usually wrong!
