James Dobson, Focus on The Family founder and a strong proponent of what he calls "traditional Christian values," has said that he and his evangelical following will not endorse any candidate for president unless he is pro-life. There should be little doubt that Idaho U.S. Senator Larry Craig fits their qualifications perfectly.

American citizens can learn much from the votes of pious, sanctimonious Republican legislators such as Senators Larry Craig and David Vitter and Congressman Mark Foley, all of whom presented themselves to the voters as paragons of virtue and practitioners of Christian moral values while simultaneously voting to strip away rights of American citizens and condemning them for the very lifestyles in which they themselves were engaged.

As long as the list of these self-righteous Congressmen is, Republicans who took over our government for over 12 years gained the rock-solid support of the evangelicals, but now they act appalled that anyone is questioning their probity and exposing their tableau of lies and hypocrisy on which they used to worm their way into every governmental agency and institution, the primary purpose of which has been to dismantle programs put in place to serve the public needs.

Here is a partial list which I excerpted from Project Vote Smart -- Senator Craig -- Voting Record, revealing some of the most recent issues voted on by Idaho Senator Larry Craig, issues near and dear to the hearts of James Dobson's religious sect who wish to impose their punitive, theocratic policies on every citizen in the United States:

NARAL Pro-Choice America 0 percent in 2006.
