Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Those Republicans are just plain hypocrites. Republicans believe that Americans should 'do as they say, not as they do.' They say they have 'family values.' Are these Republican scandals examples of good family values?

Vote for change on November 7th.

THIS JUST IN!!!!! FROM AMERICABLOG:
Some statements are starting to roll in, and both reporters and elected officials seem to understand what a debacle this is. Sherrod Brown has the best statement thus far, saying, in part, "The news that [Senator DeWine, who is on Senate Intel] did nothing to prevent the publication of information that could help terrorists create a nuclear weapon makes me question his judgment. There's nothing intelligent about posting materials on the Internet that could aid terrorists . . ." Kudos to the Brown campaign for understanding and addressing the issue so adroitly.....
