So his fellow "family values" conservatives didn't kick him to the curb?
They just ignored the problem until the voters gave him the boot.
Yeah,,,they really "threw him under the bus".

BIG surprise...he was just another "do as I say and not as I do" conservative.
He expects everyone of us mere mortals to live by Christian guidelines he espouses but that he himself wouldn't follow...and when he got busted, his party didn't even have the fortitude to "throw him under the bus".
Translation:
Southern Man was right, in order to save face I'll just pretend that I wasn't just saying that the party supported him and spin it some other way so I can justify my belief that everybody who disagrees with me is "evil" in some way.
/translation
The party asked him to leave, he announced he would resign then without logical explanation decided not to resign. He had lost support of the party and knew it so didn't run in 2008 because he knew he would lose in that primary without the party to back him... Flat out you are wrong about the party. Again. It's like you don't even read the papers.
This is an aspect about the republican party that I dislike, but the reality is they stood exactly where you would expect them to, against Craig.
Quite right, IMO. You know I think there are quite a few of these politicians who siezed on the 'Christian values' thing, realizing it would get them elected in many parts of the country. The problem was, they could talk the talk but hadn't been walking the walk. When that happens they are sure to be found out. Let me interject a Bible verse here:
"...you have sinned against the LORD...and you may be sure that your sin will find you out." - Numbers 32:23
The point is they can't hide it. They might hide it well enough to get elected but they can't hide it forever. Now I know the verse I put there is about hiding things from God but whatever....I think it is hard to hide things from the public when you are an elected official. Just look at how many have been "outed" having this same "do as I say, not as I do" mentality because they "used" the Christian values thing to get elected.
My question, how is a mere mortal to tell the difference?

I was mistaken...a pity you haven't the backbone to make the same admission.
"Threw him under the bus..."
Yeah, they threw him so FAR under the bus the VOTERS had to vote him out because the "family values" party couldn't bring themselves to oust an adulterer from their midst.

Of course these days the Republican party is becoming the party of hypocritical adulterers...
The Senator Ensign from Nevada...when's the party going to throw him under the bus?
What about Gov Mark Sanford?
A lying adulterer who won't resign who feels he's qualified to lecture others about morality.
