I don't keep track of such policies though of course, I do know about how a person can get more benefits as a single mother raising kids. I think that if single motherhood is encouraged by that, it is a perverse effect, not an intent that children should be raised solely by their mother.

Name a single Democrat who has said "even though child care credits are overall a good idea, it's too bad that it promotes single motherhood."

I can't think of anyone since Daniel Moynihan myself.

So that's your proof that they want to promote single motherhood? Let's play the opposite side - can you name a Democrat who said it is so great that we're promoting single motherhood over two parent families? If you can, I'll concede the point.

If you got the impression I believe Democrats want to promote single motherhood I apologize for the miscommunication. 

The standard party line is that single motherhood is a terrible burden and we should do everything possible to help them out.

I thought it got tiring what with its staid race/gay jokes.

Which seems about right to me and covers preventing people from becoming single mothers in the first place. A lot of black dems, iirc, go on about the importance of black fathers not abandoning their children.

Meh, she's not as prominent along the storylines as much anymore.

I don't understand the bolded part.

As to the going on bit, the author of the article clearly thinks that going on is not a sufficient policy.

I've no idea - I stopped watching. On the gay jokes, I thought the two gay characters and the black lady had a bunch as well. Other than the novelty of having the gay family be the prominent stars of the show, didn't see much to keep my attention.

My father taught me by negative example.

Much like when George Costanza begins doing the opposite of what he would normally do, I came to realize that if I did the opposite of what my dad did I'd turn out to be at minimum a pretty decent dad.

This.

Just caught Barry and Bibi making mad passionate love on CNN.  A little surprised by that.
