The party of family values still AGAIN

Look folks, I think prostitution ought to be decriminalized, okay? But the Republicans don't:

(CNN) -- A day after four of Sen. John McCain's top political strategists stepped down, the co-chairman of his Florida campaign was arrested Wednesday for allegedly offering an undercover police officer money for a sex act, Titusville police said.

Florida state Rep. Bob Allen faces charges of solicitation for prostitution after he was arrested in a Titusville city park that had been under surveillance, police said.

He allegedly offered an undercover police officer $20 for the unspecified act. His attorney, Philip Lupo of Titusville, said the charge was a second-degree misdemeanor.

Allen told CNN affiliate WFTV the incident was "a very big misunderstanding."

"This is a very gross mistake, a very big mistake," he said, adding that this is what the judicial system is for.

Allen said he helped build the park, and was there looking around.

"Looking around." Yeah, right.

UPDATE: Get this: The undercover police officer in question is male. Can you say "hypocrisy"? See, I knew you could.

    What really annoys me is the whole `undercover' thing. That's just inciting criminal activity (whether it *should* be criminal or not).
