Most politicians, sad to say, are not now, nor have they ever been, paragons of virtue, or vessels of honesty and, or integrity. In other words, they are not by and large people you want to emulate. One has only to witness the debacle caused by the President in which he committed adultery and proceeded to lie not only his family but to us as well, about the whole sorted business. Can we now look to this man for anything without suspecting his motives no matter how sincere his words may sound? And in the resulting impeachment, how many members of Congress fell from grace because of the same transgression, or worse behaviors, after lambasting the President for his sins?
And what about presidential candidate George W. Bush the compassionate conservative (what is that anyway? A conservative who finally cares what happens to his less fortunate brother?), who journeyed to Bob Jones university a bastion of intolerance, and proceeded to make nice with the "good Christians" therein just to get their vote? What family values was he upholding by associating with such people, could it be love, tolerance, or is it compassion? Yes they are voters, and yes they are Americans, and yes they deserve to have a voice, but at the same time they need to know that their "family values" are not, and should not be those we all rally around, and shine a light upon.
