I think it was CNN that had some follow-up interviews at a right-wing Christian conference about the book and the Foley scandal and most of the people there said that they don't vote based on the values or character of the politicians, but instead they vote on if that politician will support their issues. Now didn't the Democrats gets raked over the coals post-Monica about still supporting Clinton because of his values (or lack thereof) and didn't we get fed the same line in '04 and '08. We heard "news story" after "news story" about Bush's values and Gore/Kerry's lack of them and how the elections weren't about issues, but about values. Turns out that the self righteous Christian right is full of hypocrites. I guess I can't really be surprised can I?
