There is so much that has been going on inside the Republican Party since its implosion which started in 2000 with the appointment of King George. It seems that every day that goes by, we hear of more in that party who do not live up to its ideals. A short list on the group that insists they are the party of family values includes the likes of Newt Gingrich, Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Foley, David Vitter, Bob Packwood, Jim West, Bob Livingston, Rudy Giuliani, Tom Evans, Buz Lukins, Bob Bauman, Jon Hinson, Bob Allen, Dave Crane, Don Sherwood, Ken Calvert. Certainly not a complete list and there will surely be more to come.
The time is now for those very Family Values Party Members to denounce that they truly represent family values.
Their betrayals are widespread, involve not only cheating on their wives, but also include sexual activity with underage and same sex partners.
Mark Sanford, admitting a series of trysts, was one of the loudest during Bill Clinton's impeachment hearings demanding that he resign for his indiscretions, yet he does not see the need for himself to resign. Seems that the religious right truly is a forgiving bunch, all one has to do is come out and apologize for their indiscretion and all will be forgiven. Bullshit.
It is time for us to demand more from those that lead us. It is time to hold them to their talking points. How can our children look up to any politician and believe what they are saying, how can we allow this hypocritical approach to exist. They pronounce themselves as the saviors of children via anti-abortion laws, yet have no problem killing hundreds of thousands for an unjust war. They claim to be for families, yet deny children healthcare. They say they are for the people, but only support big business and rich folk.
Enuf!
