It's a bit hypocritical. These things aren't quite the same ball game, but close enough. Either way,
he's a jackass. |

I get so frustrated by people proclaiming to be Christian who judge others instead of focusing on
their own lives and being accountable for their own actions and behavior. Beyond that, I would
think that adultry is more hurtful than one's sexual orientation. The person who strays not only
risks contracting an STD, but they are putting someone who is supposed to be able to trust them at
risk of contracting an STD. They are also breaking a trust and causing emotional pain that could
effect the other person for years to come. I feel the same about this as I do whenever the topic
comes up. People would be far better off if they spent half of the time working on themselves and
their relationships as they spend judging others and using religion to support personal agendas. I
truly think that most people who say they are only trying so be "good Christians" and that they
"hate the sin and not the sinnen" are truly just using those words so they can continue to condemn
others and reassure themselves that they are living a better life than those who they believe are
sinning worse than they are. I can't imagine that God would create people who are homosexual just
to condemn them. It makes no sense to me. I'm a little off topic here I guess, but I find cheating
on a spouse to be more of an issue than someone's sexual orientation. To be unfaithful demonstrates
a lack of integrity and poor judgement. While I'm sure many politicians have been unfaithful, I
wonder if these are really the type of people who should be holding office. Obviously, honesty is
not an important value to them. |

Happens all the time. Those who screem the loudest against gays are the good Christians at rest
stops. This is so common it's ridiculous and has been going on for a very long time. |

Ha Ha, I thought he had gay tendencies, just because of his persona, regardless of what he says. I
still do. |

One of the biggest hypochristians? That would require there be only a few. There are hundreds of
repugnant republicans.

What makes me laugh is Sen. REsign belongs to the wife-beating "promise keeper" cult. Those
morons are amongst the worst for spewing out garbage about "family values". |

I agree it's wrong but I have to say for a politician it's only a moderate sized hypocrisy. |

He certainly qualifies as a schmuck. He most certainly hurts those issues he said he stands for,
such as family, fidelity and honesty. However, he is not a hypocrite necessarily. Hypocrisy really
means to not truly believe what you say you believe. You may truly believe what you say but fail to
live up to those principles. He may have simply failed to live by the standards he proclaimed. We
all fail and fall short of our desired principles. If he truly does not believe, in fidelity and
the sanctity of the family, and yet he espouses those values, then he would be a hypocrite as well
as a schmuck. By the way, since we all fall short, it is good reason to really pause before harshly
and quickly judging another for his or her short coming. |

No, it isn't hypocrisy. It would be if he were having that affair with a man. It certainly hurts his
"sanctity of marriage" defense. |

I don't know. Would a murderer be a hypocrite for denouncing murder? Would you fault that? I agree
it does hurt his ability to speak out on the matter though. |

I thought it would be if he was gay. But since he isn't, we are just comparing and contrasting two
different evils. Not, "Do what I say, not what I do." |
