I'm too lazy to read tha whole thread, but I hope someone else noticed that these politicos are all rePUBICans ...

Hence the title of the thread, but it's not an exclusive club. I'd bet even the Libertarians and Greenies have their embarrassments from time to time.

Yes but Libertarians, the 'true' conservatives, have an official 'people should be allowed to be whaterver they want' policy. Craig has been up front in his criticism of Clinton (probably justified, but certainly the pot calling the kettle black in retrospect) and his socially conservative stance against gays.



Okay, who here thinks he had a woody while talking about what a 'naughty boy' Clinton was?

Someone should think about starting a National Association for the Advancement of Closeted Conservatives (NAACC). Just by taking into account the last nine months and extrapolating, I'd guess there are at least 50,000 potential members.

They do. Back in the Great Gubernatorial Sweepstakes & Election (137 candidates for Governor, Schwarzenegger won), the top-rated Libertarian candidate (of three running) jettisoned his candidacy by punching out a radio talkshow host. I've never been curious to find out what provoked that, on the assumption that this man was a most impolitic penile-encephaly case.

"intend"

Will he or won't he?

Better question:

Can he lead? I am highly skeptical.

He hired Michael Vick's lawyer. Maybe he can share a cell with Vick.

And in response to the question some commentators have put -- why do Republicans get bombarded with myriad demands to resign in cases like this when Democrats aren't given such a bum's rush out the door -- Democratic spokesmen have said, "Well, we don't set our party members up as examples of propriety and chastity," or words to that general effect. Okay, so it's expected that Democratic Party members behave like whores in pinstripes? Well, they wouldn't say that...

But it's true! There are lower expectations when it comes to the sex lives of Democrats. Think of the Kennedys, Gary Hart, Clinton - they're all whores. But Democrats know that a politician doesn't run the country with his penis. They know that sex is a natural act, and they enjoy it. Repubicans, on the other hand, tend to act as though sex is bad, dirty, and should be avoided. They'd rather be lead by a celibate, influence-peddling, bribe-taking, special-interest-whoring, setting-up-a-lucrative-future-job-legislating moron than someone who might enjoy a little strange.

More importantly, both sides just attack when they can get away with it. I think the reason more people care about the republican scandals is because, as spexxvet pointed out, they pretend to be on a different moral level. If the Democrats can be pointed out to do something against their nature, they are.

Just don't think for one second that either side has any sort of moral superiority, they're all a bunch of assholes jockeying for more power than they already have, and I don't even think they'll know what to do with it once they get it.

They'lll try to get laid :eek:

:lol: Hahahaha! Too bad it's usually by little boys or other men in the bathroom...

It has to do with hoisting and petards.

look up "lying hypocrites" and get back to me, k?

Why look it up when my post demonstrates an excellent, perhaps perfected, understanding of the term, V? Try on "Well, they wouldn't say that..."

As long as he is voting the way his constituents want him to it does not matter what he does in his free time.
I don't care if he screwed a male dressed as a horse on the capital steps.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW HE VOTES!
It is his right to be a homophobe and gay at the same time. That has NOTHING to do with his job!
