Kids do the darndest things.
Don't you feel a little squeamish using kids to score political points?
The politician was totally insensitive as to what was going on with his own child. *She used HIM to highlight the fact that abstinence only curricula does not work.*
"Do not work."
+jd quinitchette It certainly doesn't work.
That's not my issue.
+John Coons I wish politicians respected everyone more. I feel you, dude.
Republicans "Do as we say, not as we do!"
+jd quinitchette Too much power and money at stake for civility.
Let's not pretend this is new or some awful era of politics though. Humans gonna human!
Guess he forgot to preach close to home.
