It just goes to show that Vito Fossella, a good Republican, is behind family values 200% -- twice as much as his liberal Democratic opponents. Long live family values.

what do you mean by "Family Values"?

Does that mean maintaining, creating as many families as possible?

Osama bin Laden has several wives - He should be our "Family Values" poster boy(man)!

why is more noteworthy that this guy cheated on his wife than the fact he used his auto as weapon while drunk, risking the life of everybody on that road.

who cares who he sleeps with

Clyde Haberman NY Times today, talked about how Fossela was angered by Bill Clinton in the impeachment process because Clinton did not follow The Rule of Law. We've come a long way!
