Hypocrisy in the Republican Party

Hello all, this is my first of many blog entries and before I start a few quick notes. I am a liberal and this blog will have entries posted from a liberal's point of view. Also I will post at least once a week if not more than that. I am sure that many of you have heard about the scandal involving Senator Larry Craig (R-ID). Senator Craig was caught trying to solicit sex from an undercover cop in an airport bathroom. Senator Craig is the latest example of politicians who are anti-gay and then get busted for being gay. Now a few months before this Senator David Vitter (R-LA) was caught with his name in the address book of a D.C. madam. Senator Vitter is another Republican big on family values. So one can see what we have here are two similar scandals committed by two Republicans. When the Senator Craig scandal broke he was pressured by the Senate GOP to resign and he did. However Senator Vitter was not pressured to resign and was given support by the Senate GOP. The difference? Senator Vitter didn't have a homosexual scandal. The hypocrisy there is stunning.
