THE BARR POSE: Maggie responds

I don't recall ever defining family values Mark. The point is not that in political debate we use code words. But that for both dems and repubs (but in the case repubs) certain issues are not really defined as political issues (i.e. actions worth working towards) but values issues--used to strike poses voters find attractive and so get political power to use on "real" political issues (i.e. legislation worth working towards).

For many on the right, marriage is attractive as a values word and not as a political issue.
