Vance said "cat lady" comment was about Democrats being anti family and anti child. And I went "say what?"... Democrats anti family?? aren't they trying to provide breakfast/lunch to grade school kids (and preschool kids)?? Aren't they about banning guns and not books? Aren't they about providing some sort of healthcare (medicaid) even if it's not perfect to families? Isn't that what public schools are for - to educate ALL of America's children (not just the one's whose families can pay for them to be educated??) Doing a google didn't bring up much but I did find this: an Opinion piece from Tommy Tuberville: www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinion/2021/11/29/president-biden-offers-anti-family-agenda/8802184002/What do you all think Mr. Tuberville is saying? Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama. I don't know how to interpret this opinion piece. It seems like Tuberville is trying to get families who are NOT living at or below the poverty level to vote to cut off government money to the people and families who are. The families and children who NEED the help. The Google AI says: In 2022, 16.2% of Alabama's population lived below the poverty line, which is higher than the national average. This means that their income for the previous year was below the national poverty level, which ranges from $13,171 for a single person to $26,496 for a family of four. I did a little digging of poverty by county - and low and behold the counties with the highest levels of poverty in Alabama are primarily non-white. Black single mothers had a nearly 50-50 chance of being poor, white single mothers a 1 in 6 chance, and black couples, a 1 in 10 chance. In 2019, 13.7 percent of Alabama's white residents were poor, 31.2 percent of its African American residents were poor, and 33.6 percent of its Hispanic residents were poor. Yuck. Now I'm feeling disgusted.

it is about Democrats being pro-choice.
it is about him being "life of the baby even if it kills the mom".
that is what it is about.

I'd rather be a cat lady than the wife of a man like Vance.

it is about Democrats being pro-choice. it is about him being "life of the baby even if it kills the mom". that is what it is about. And once the baby is saved, being OK with it dying after birth.

Democrats are both pro family and pro human beings. We do not need families to look or be a certain way in order to support them. That's how we earn our white hats. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/wink.png)

I think it’s about keeping hold of power.
Grab onto the ‘anti-abortion’ thing, talk about how you love every baby, get the evangelicals on board, so you can get enough votes to stay in power, keep the taxes low and the tax loopholes open for the wealthy, and save money by shrinking Medicare, SS and food stamps.

I can conclude only one thing: Vance hates nuns and Dolly Parton.

Dude. What a dumbass. And at least get your facts straight. Pete has kids. With reasonable confidence going to say Vance is probably not the type to support gay marriage or adoption. We all know the only babies that count are birthed by white heterosexual Christian Trad wives. Which makes him a hypocrite because his wife is Hindu but that isn't a surprise anymore.

Vance says exactly what a man wanting to return to 1955 WOULD say. Harris's campaign regarding moving forward and not backwards is right on target.
I love being a childless cat lady, and Vance can go f**k himself.
ETA: Seriously, I am not even sure how the GOP has allowed this to happen AGAIN. How is Trump still their man. It's beyond crazy. They all seem so anxious to claim they are not racist, sexist, hypocritical bigots but they keep managing to nominate the biggest ass hats on the planet.

Because they are a bunch of pussies. They are too cowardly to stand up to the bully, and would prefer crumbs to being voted out. They could have avoided this if they convicted him over January 6, but they were too scared to confront Trump, hence here we are

How self serving are you and how much Kool aid did you consume that you to let your husband say something like that and not vaporize him on the spot?
