FOREST, Va., June 21, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- A policy analyst working for a Virginia-based pro-family organization is charging GOP leaders in Washington with hypocrisy for treating lawmakers caught in scandals differently, depending on their party affiliations.
Family Policy Network (FPN) Policy Analyst Alex Mason released an opinion piece today, critical of Republican leaders who overlooked the immoral actions of Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) while decrying those of Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). In July of 2007, Senator Vitter was exposed in the infamous "DC Madam" case as a married man who had paid prostitutes for sexual encounters while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In the opinion piece, which is located online at: familypolicy.net/?p=8216, Mason charges: "Republicans were correct in demanding that Congressman Weiner resign on account of his moral failures. But it's high time Republicans exhibit the courage of conviction required to hold one of their own to the same standard." He concludes, "Anything less is hypocrisy."
