Craig's List Getting Longer

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, an Idaho Republican, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in Minnesota this month after being arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Could this be why, since the "Republican Revolution" in 1994, conservatives have made pitiful gains in turning back the liberalism, socialism, relativity and immorality foisted upon society?

Maybe the Republican Party we thought represented conservative values was full of pretenders? Maybe the Republican Party we thought believed in it's own stated values and platform was actually full of charlatans?

None of us are perfect and none of us are without sin. Further, the moral failures of some men who espouse conservative, moral values is not a repudiation of those values, as the Left would have us believe, but is only a statement of the failure of that individual. (After all, I condemn profanity, but sometimes when I get mad I say things I wouldn't want my pastor to hear.)

But the list of Foley's and Craig's is starting to get long, and one has to wonder if there are enough elected Republicans who will hold themselves to a higher standard for conservatism to make any progress.
