26. Check out the wording of the article in question:

...

If you can find a politician who understands the institution of the family, who wants to protect children from immorality, who understands that we are at war with those who want to destroy us and who understand that liberal judges are undermining us and need to be reined in," Dobson said, "and if you can find a politician who lives by a strong moral code and believes in Jesus Christ ... if you can find such a person, it would be a sin not to vote for him."

He said he wasn't telling supporters whom they should vote for - Focus on the Family can't legally do that with its nonprofit status - but that he was urging them to be guided by their values when they vote.

Dobson also said he has been "very irritated and disappointed with the Republican Party" and that GOP candidates whom "values voters" helped elect in 2004 have "sat on their majorities and not used them productively."

He touched on the uproar over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, D-Florida, who resigned Friday in a scandal over electronic messages he sent to former teenage male congressional pages.

"Neither party has a cornerstone on morality," he said.

...


It was cleverly worded so that the sense of the article depends on whether Foley is listed as as D-Florida or R-Florida.
