More Republican family values

From themonitor.com:
A young girl featured in a controversial television ad during the 2000 presidential campaign testified this week that the man who developed the commercial molested her for years and forced her to watch pornography and use sex toys.

The girl, now 15, told jurors Carey Lee Cramer — a 44-year-old political consultant who gained national notoriety when he released an anti-Al Gore ad showing a young girl picking daisy petals and ending in a nuclear blast — began molesting her in the third grade, when she lived in Mercedes with him, his then-wife and her younger brother.

The ad in which she and another girl were featured was a remake of one Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign used against Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Anyone who votes Republican because they're the "family values" party is a fool. Most of these Republican politicians and those with influence in the party only pretend to care about family values in order to get the red staters to vote for them. I really wish that more conservative voters would be aware of that come November when Republicans will be bringing up the values issue.
