U.S. Senator Larry Craig's biggest fan right now is Michael Vick. Senator Craig's hypocrisy has moved any news about Michael Vick off the front page.
The situation involving Sen. Craig represents the problems of politicians that wear morality on their sleeves. There is certainly a place for morality in politics. We can obviously use more morality in the political arena. However, there seems to be an increasing number of "God fearing, family value supporting" politicians on both sides of the political aisle that "talk the talk but don't walk the walk". A President commits adultery in the White House. A Speaker of the House has an affair with a staffer. In my own state, several legislative leaders from both parties have been convicted of felonies in recent years.
We no longer vote for the person that we want to serve in public office. We vote for the lesser of the evils represented by the candidates. We are often faced with having to vote reactively, rather than proactively.

Hey Joe,
Karma can be a bitch when the time to pay the piper for such staggering levels of hypocrisy rolls around. Never forget that this is the crowd that deceptively gave us The Patriot Act, the Iraq war, torture, secret prisons, Abu-Garib, Gitmo, and spying on the innocent. Oh, how the greedy and arrogant are falling...
It just boggles the mind that holier-than-thou Christian leaders are so often involved in sick behavior. Just look at the history and current events of the Vatican and Papacy. Do you need any more proof of why such scoundrels value faith over truth and justice? See the pattern?
Notice that Larry Craig was nabbed on June, 11th? DId you know that 11 symbolizes truth and justice? Notice the pattern of pivotal events repeatedly occurring on number 11 days during recent years? Notice that the story broke 77 days after his arrest? How many unlikely coincidences are necessary before more people discern a strong pattern in the noise?
Here is Wisdom !!
