Believe me or don’t. I’m not shy about stating any position that I have, whether I think it’s popular or not.

It’s easy to say ‘leave the kids out of it’ and in general that should be the policy. But when a politician paints themselves as a family values candidate, doesn’t the public have a right to know something about the family?

If a candidate is running on a platform of knowing what’s best for people’s families, should we question how their own family is working?

I don’t like it when people use their kids as props for anything. I don’t shop at businesses that put their kids in their ads, either. Car dealerships and lawyers seem to be the most guilty of doing that and I find it very, very distasteful.

OT, but the only ad I can remember with kids in it by a local car dealer re-did the opening of the Jetsons - drops off his kids at soccer practice, etc., then drops off his wife, takes money out of his wallet to give her, and she takes the wallet.

Now if he just had some flying cars to sell….
