What about the Republican Party and Christian values. Let's take a walk down memory lane to the year 2000. An anonymous smear campaign began against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, flyer's, and audience plants. The smears claimed that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCain's dark-skinned daughter was adopted from Bangladesh), that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" who was either a traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days. Is gossip a sin? A lesson learned is that some people who proudly boast of their Christian values and wrap themselves in the flag are not what they appear to be.
