Secret Society of Political Sinners: The Family of C Street

The Family. Wasn't that what Manson called his band?
I heard this story on NPR a few days ago. Listen to it here. The Family, a group of Christian conservatives, apparently believes that God gives them special powers to help all. 
John Ensign, who recently embarrassed himself by cheating on his wife, getting caught and then having his Dear Cindy letter published, is one of The Family, and so is Mark Sanford. Ha! 
Fascinating to me, is that these guys turn to God and religion and get all preachy but God doesn't have anything to do with their deeds. Bad judgment, bad morals and all around creepiness does. They need to stop invoking religion and get some morals.
