[Vision2020] Brady, Otter, and "family values"

How about I reframe Bill's question and ask Jerry Brady what he makes of 
the phrase "family values?"  For me, the term is code for anti-gay, anti-
choice, pro-erasing the line of separation between church and state.  I'd 
like to know what Jerry Brady would do (that Butch Otter would not) to 
value my family, or Matt's, or Bill's, or Barrett's.  I'm tired of 
hypocritical lectures on morality from notorious womanizers and sleazy 
adulterers, both Democrat and Republican, while we watch real families 
harmed by the precipitous drop in buying power, the loss of health care 
and other employee benefits, and the disappearance of educational 
opportunities and living-wage jobs.

Will that do?

Of course, should the subject of Butch Otter's many votes to protect "the 
sanctity of marriage" come up in the conversation, I'll laugh my ass off.  
Who's a greater risk to marriage, gay me or the gay divorcee?  I will be 
interested to hear where Jerry Brady stands on HJR2, the proposed 
amendment to the Idaho constitution banning same-sex marriage, and I will 
be asking him to justify his position whatever it happens to be.
