"Same old lesson: Politicians, especially “family values” pols, should leave the preaching to the preachers. No one wants moral lectures from elected officials anyway. Most are in no position to offer them. There are plenty of guilty Democrats, such as John Edwards, who cynically used his ‘perfect family’ for political gain, but Republicans are especially vulnerable here because they simply won’t stop telling people how to live their private lives. This kind of disaster will befall the GOP over and over until they move away from social issues, and back to issues like taxing, spending, debt, and national security—where they can have more credibility, once they recover from the record of the Bush years.
