I love how so many evangelicals are total hypocrites. We had a conservative representative in the 2nd District in Virginia (a strong proponent of the Federal Marriage Amendment) who had to resign when it was discovered that he had illicit phone conversations with younger men. We had Ralph Reed and his ethics scandals, and now we have this guy.
Yet another reason why mainline Christianity is the way to go, and not the route of these crazy people with their megachurches. We also don't go around imposing our extreme views on America through faith-based legislation. It is possible to be a religious Christian without being totally nuts like Dobson, Falwell, or Robertson.
Even many Republicans don't like them (see Dick Armey), and I think we might see either less of an effort by the GOP to court them in national elections or less of an evangelical tendency to blindly support the Republicans.
