Another Republican Hypocrite

It is embarrassing when Republicans, who run on traditional values and court the religious vote are caught with their pants down, so to speak. Since the Republican Party has identified itself as the Party of God-fearing Christians, it is more embarrassing for a Republican to be caught in a sex scandal than a Democrat, because we expect more moral behaviour from Republicans. Much more of this and the public will stop believing in the moral superiority of Republicans. rod


Senator's Number on 'Madam' Phone List
By Shailagh Murray Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, July 10, 2007; A03
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) apologized last night after his telephone number appeared in the phone records of the woman dubbed the "D.C. Madam," making him the first member of Congress to become ensnared in the high-profile case.
The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates dating from before he ran for the Senate in 2004.
On his Senate Web site, Vitter says he is committed to "advancing mainstream conservative principles" and notes that he and his wife are lectors at their hometown church.
