		<description>Vitter - hookers while attacking the President for lying about blowjobs
Livingston- affairs while attacked Pres. for lying about blowjobs &amp; oaths.
Newt Gingrich-&#039;Mr. Ethics&#039; - 84 ethics charges ; 2 divorces in part from having  affairs - one during the attack on Clinton; violated federal tax law &amp; lied for political purposes with &quot;intentional or...reckless&quot; disregard of House rules.
Current Executive office help poor raise better families with Abstinence as the solution for teen pregnancy â€“ no mention of condemns â€“as policy  - then when those children of young mothers in poverty become a problem in the system instead of a part of the system those less fortunate American too often are seen as â€˜the enemyâ€™ &amp; punished as if this is Godâ€™s answer.  

If Christ dared to buck the American system politicians would do a hit job on him as an enemy of the state.

Remember how people that spoke out that going to war in Iraq was a big mistake â€“ talk about being squashedâ€¦

Doing God&#039;s will - a philosophy that has been part of the Bush family ethics dating back to relatives aka - 3 former kings of England (acting as chosen by God to be THE SUPER POWER by sword, pen &amp; the Almighty.

Growing up in Louisiana - the A hole of American politics - National politics has a familiar stench.

The political, the media &amp; the people we all at fault  - no doubt.  I hope we learn unity for compassion as the seed for future thought &amp; action â€“ as a model for the world of God &amp; goodness in respect for humanity &amp; thoughtful problem solving for this I pray.  Thanks yaâ€™ll</description>

		<description>Why are so many conservative whackos obsessed with Clinton?  He behaves just like one of their own!  For some reason, however, itâ€™s impeachable for a Dem but forgivable (by God no less) when some Southern hypocrite dips his Dixie-fried slick willie outside hearth and home.  Itâ€™s such a simple argument â€“ Vitter is a typical powerful hypocritical conservative nerd who says what he needs to say to keep his neck from the political guillotine.  The missus is one sad woman (walk your talk Wendy, leaveâ€™em).  Guess you need to be a conservative whacko dinosaur to understand it!

LIBERALS RULE!!!  IMPEACH BUSH!!</description>

		<description>Who is the guy who likes to use the word â€˜libtardâ€™? *lol* How old is he, twelve?

Comment by Isome 

I was thinking the same thing. People like him can only use childish name calling. That&#039;s all they have left. They are insignificant. 
They have always blamed former President Clinton everytime this admin f*cks up. Well that dog don&#039;t run NO MORE. They are like the little boy who cried wolf one too many times! Why don&#039;t you 
fu*king hypocrites vote these lying bastards out of your party!</description>

		<description>There is no equivalency between Clinton &amp; Vitter&#039;s sexual escapades. Paying for sex is crime, while an adulterous affair is not.

		<description>Good â€˜ol Southern white valuesâ€¦â€¦

1. Waving the confederate flag

2. Lynching blacks

3. Running black people out of town

4. Railroading minorities

5. God is against interracial dating and marriage

6. Gun running

7. Worshipping white skin color and claiming to worship Christ

8. Engaging in illegal activities such as marijuana and canabbis growing in your backyard or manufacturing meth while accusing illegal aliens of breaking the law

9. It is ok to philander as long as if you happen to be white, you have sex only with other whites</description>

		<description>Sen. Vitter is not cut from the same swashbuckling cloth as other flashier  Louisiana politicians who publically admitted their &quot;carnal sins&quot; as they were being committed. Former LA Gov. Edwin Edwards joked before being sentenced to the slammer that &quot;the feds will never touch me unless I get caught in bed with a dead prostitute or a live boy&quot;. Vitter thought that whoring with live prostitutes was OK until he had to fess up to his wife and priest. Vitter claims the priest has forgiven him. How about the wife?</description>

		<description>It is so typical of Repugnant-cans to point a finger at Clinton every time (and there are MANY, MANY times) one of their own gets caught with his pants down.  They are so obsessed with Bill Clinton that they cannot move on!  It&#039;s incredible, the power Bill Clinton still has - it&#039;s amazing.  The man will go down in history as the one person the Repugnant-cans could neither beat nor forget.  It just shows what a great and awesome President Bill Clinton was - too bad there are term limits to the presidency.  If he were still President, we&#039;d have a brilliant, effective President that the whole world loves instead of the village idiot.</description>

		<description>TO ALL RELIGIOUS RIGHT THAT THINK THAT RELIGION and/or CHRISTIANITY WAS WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON:

&lt;strong&gt;Where do people get the silly notion that this is a &quot;Christian Nation&quot;? Here&#039;s what Thomas Jefferson and other founders had to say about it!

&quot;Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;A professorship of theology should have no place in our institution.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;The Christian God is a being of terrific character -- cruel, vindictive, capricious and unjust.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;... the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.&quot; - Treaty with Tripoli, drafted under George Washington, 1796, signed by John Adams, 1797

&quot;To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise . . . without plunging into the fathomless abyss of dreams and phantasms. I am satisfied, and sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which I have no evidence.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson

&quot;During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? Mor less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.&quot; - James Madison

&quot;Lighthouses are more useful than churches.&quot; -Benjamin Franklin

&quot;This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.&quot; - John Adams

Thomas Jefferson wrote, &quot;furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.&quot;

&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Stalker, yes, I remember Gary Condit.  But no prominent Democrats defended him, and he lost in the Democratic primary that closest followed the scandal surrounding his missing mistress.  I have no intention to say that Condit wasn&#039;t involved in Chandra&#039;s Levy&#039;s death.  However, her body was ultimately found in a park where other young women had been killed; and the police could find no evidence of foul play by Condit.
BTW, wasn&#039;t a woman found dead in GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough&#039;s office?
Find another talking point, kiddo.  This one carries little weight.</description>

BTW, wasn&#8217;t a woman found dead in GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough&#8217;s office?<br />
Find another talking point, kiddo.  This one carries little weight.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3928139', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Vitter clearly showed his hypocrisy in making these statements. Christian conservatives like to claim the moral high ground, yet they have none. Vitter has no credibility and should take his own advise and step down from his Senate seat. Clinton was impeached for a private matter between a husband and his wife. Those who claimed then that he committed serious crimes like perjury and obstruction of justice were the same people who wanted a pardon for Libby for the very same crimes. 

Republicans like to apply their moral standards to others but are unable to apply them to other republicans. This is a culture of corruption, and that is why so many republicans were voted out of office in 2006 mostly due to Iraq but also in part due to Foley page scandal and the Ted Haggard scandal. Speaker Hastert and the GOP leadership went out of their way to protect a pedophile. They were wrong to do so.</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;The sad part is that most conservatives, me included, said a long time ago when this thread beng, that Vitter was a hypocrite and should admit to it&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Actually, dear, no, you didn&#039;t, which is why I&#039;ll keep pointing out your failure in this regard.  It&#039;s hilarious how you kept trying to change the subject all the way to the end, though.  And equally hilarious that you were not able to provide any evidence to support any of your assertions.  Nothing, nada, zip.  Nice try, though.  We&#039;ve all had a wonderful time watching you squirm.

Oh, and by the way, dear, you do realize that your talking points on Al Gore have been completely discredited, right?  And that your talking point on Obama was, well, silly (Ooh! He drives a big car!).  And your talking point on Madonna? (&lt;i&gt;Madonna&lt;/i&gt;?!)  Well ... nuff said.  TTFN, dear heart.</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;amazing that you are now crying about the lack of civility from anyone, fcking piece of shit hypocrite.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

ROFL... Dear heart, since I&#039;ve never once complained about any &quot;lack of civility,&quot; forgive me if I don&#039;t take this accusation of hypocrisy any more seriously than I take your other accusations.  Have you figured out what the word means yet, dear?</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;I guess it hasnâ€™t figured out yet that PaulB is gone.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Yup.  Unlike our dear troll friend, I actually have a life.  I loved how he twice said that others could have the last word but then couldn&#039;t bring himself to do it.

&quot;&lt;i&gt;I donâ€™t know why anyone even baits conservatwat into a discussion.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Mostly because it&#039;s fun.  As I said above, I wouldn&#039;t do this on every post, since it has an inevitable side effect of derailing the thread, but this thread was derailed quite quickly, not to mention that there really wasn&#039;t much to say about this topic other than to laugh at the blatant hypocrisy.

&quot;&lt;i&gt;Maybe if we all ignore him he will go away and go back to being a good little sheepleâ€¦&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Quite likely.  The single most effective anti-troll tactic is to ignore them.  Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, all too many people just cannot do this.  The usual excuse is that they just couldn&#039;t let the argument stand without rebuttal.  Well, yeah, actually you can, since the argument is, by definition, self-fisking and stupid and doesn&#039;t need a response or rebuttal.

The second most effective tactic is to counter-troll them and make fun of them.  It drives them nuts, as we&#039;ve seen here.  It&#039;s also a lot of fun but it, too, can be considered trolling, so I don&#039;t do it very often.

The biggest mistake you can make is to take them seriously and believe that you can get through to them.  You can&#039;t.  Again, as we&#039;ve seen here.</description>
