“but not Hypocrites.”

Just another term that the left is succeeding in redefining.

Where it used to mean someone who condemns others for behavior he condones in himself, it now means anyone who in any way fails — even once — to live up to the most rigorous interpretation of the Christian moral code.

No room for human weakness; no room for error; no room for repentance. Stumble once, and you become one more piece of proof that all Christians are hypocrites.

Good points. Truth be told, we are ALL hypocrites. Any Christian who claims otherwise is likely not being truthful with themselves.

Well, if that's the standard, then all Christians, being imperfect humans, could be called hypocrites. As would everybody else, according to their adopted moral codes.

I am grateful that policians lose their jobs over this. Too bad Vitter and Gay Guy from Idaho don’t leave their jobs as they are a disgrace. Now if they want forgiveness ok, but that does not mean that they get to keep their jobs or it should not mean that in the Republican Party.
