Maudie's 'Vote for me, I’m holier than my opponent'

Posted by Maudie in Mandeville on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 9:51:18 AM
"Oh, girl, did you see him on TV with his wife along side him? Don't you just know he's a hypocrite, uh huh. I still have an old campaign brochure of his and he's got his family with him there on the front cover, all smiles and all. Don't you know he let us all down, girl? He's a hypocrite, that's what he be."

Are you one of those that sent Vitter to Congress because he had a nice looking family on his campaign brochure? Are you breathlessly following this story (hoping to get a look at the call girl he boinked)?  There seem to be alot of you out there, especially among conservative Christians (a distinction Maudie makes given the pro-abortion United Church of Christ, the pro-homo-sexual agenda of the Episcopal Church, and the assorted Reverends Barry Lynn, Sharpton, Jackson, et al, who get down on their knees every night and give thanks for Larry Flynt).

Maudie's having a tough time accepting 'hypocrite' as the best word to describe Vitter, or any politician in a related situation. A politician doesn’t campaign with the slogan, “Vote for me, I’m holier than my opponent.” If his issues were ‘family values’ and his American Conservative Union ranking is ‘94’ and a ‘100’ from the Family Research Council, his voting record still stands in favor of traditional families no matter his personal moral failings, or are you one of those who didn’t think they had them?

Politicians are our lackeys, the dogs that do our bidding. At the end of their term, we judge them on how well they yea'd and nea'd, then we vote accordingly. Vitter has voted pro-life, pro family with no equivocation. Unless Louisiana can come up with a candidate in the primary that is more conservative and holier than Vitter, your judgment should be made on how he voted, not on what he said or did or how pretty his family is on the campaign brochure.

“I’ll take a Republican ‘hypocrite’ for 100, Alex.”
