As we see the people who tried to impeach President Clinton in the ‘90s resign in disgrace we stop and think what really happened to these people.
Many of them were elected in the midterm elections of ’94 with the slogan of Contract with America, and with the concept of “family values”, as if it belonged to a particular party.
I always look at the impeachment that took place over a decade ago as the drug dealers being jury of a drug addict. My savior said two thousand years ago “he who’s without sin cast the first stone”.
Many of the members of congress involved in the impeachment had children out of wedlock like Henry Hyde; others were having affairs during the impeachment process such as the Former Speaker of the house Newt Gingrich, and Congressman Bob Barr.
Now we here that Congressman Mark Souder from Indiana resigned for having an extra marital affair, even though a matter of which he is not proud of, at least we can say he has the honor of making the right decision based on his conservative beliefs, not like other members that campaigned in ’94 under the same “values” and have had affairs such as Senator Ensign from Nevada and Senator David Vitter from Louisiana.
The party that thinks they own the “family value” label will have to do a better job in not only campaigning about it but actually living it.
