As far as I know none of these "offenders" cloak themselves with the mantle of Family Values and used this as a political strategy. We are al sinners but it's very precarious being a demagogue on these issues because we humans do have our weaknesses and they will be exposed, sadly to say.
The biggest sin I see the Republicans being a part of is the one that tripped up Satan: actually believing the hype that you are better than the Godless, libertine, anti-American Democrats. If you convince yourself of this then you'll be blinded by pride and slip into all kinds of unethical and immoral behaviour,justifying it on the grounds of the morality of your cause, God's cause. If you're a Christian and take the Bible seriously, and not simply for use as political slogans, then you know that we are all fallen beings, whatever political persuasion we may be. And if we put ourselves in the place of playing God, we'll be humbled. This is what I see happening to the GOP now. "Pride goeth before the fall."
