A Life Lesson From the GOP
Another life lesson from the GOP:
[Rep. Richard] Baker took aim at critics who labeled [Sen. David] Vitter a hypocrite for promoting conservative views, talking about family values and advocating sexual abstinence at a time when he was in a touch with an alleged call girl service."If a man has values and standards, but does not live up to them, it does nothing to discredit the validity or those values and standards, and he is far preferable to those timid souls who, without values and standards, cannot fall short of them nor ever run the risk of being charged with hypocrisy," Baker said.
So it's more important to trumpet values that one's actions dishonor than it is to lead an honest life that doesn't hinge on "family values" rhetoric? Thanks for setting us straight, Rep. Baker.
