Patriot:

You haven’t seen Nancy Pelosi or Steny Hoyer calling for the resignation of William “How’d that cash get in my freezer?” Jefferson, have you?

Hypocrisy knows no political bounds. Each group will do unto others what is necessary to retain power. That’s why all Federal politcal jobs (Prez, VP, Senators, Congressmen, Political Appointees) should be term-limited.

I am a Dem, but truth must be told where it exists.

“First, get the facts, then you can distort them at your leisure.”–Mark Twain

Craig is a hypocrite, rather pathetic, and apparently deeply closeted. His exposure does expose the GOP as the party of hypocrisy. And though some of us might consider being Republican a crime in and of itself, I don’t see what the criminal act is (at least in terms of the bathroom incident).

At this rate, straight couples who flirt in a bar — or same sex bathrooms for that matter — could face arrest as well.

Peace to all

Only when the information is made public, the are concerned it is a preceived condemnation upon them as a party, and they immediately distance themselves from it. Only when light shines on these dark placed in the GOP do they suddenly start their moral condemnation.. and not before even when they know about it. Its all a matter or perception, and if all is percieved as well, that all is well, so don’t rock the boat.

This is my primary reason for not trusting Republicans with the future of our country. They are concerned only with the welfare of themselves as a party, and not our country as a whole. And they are mostly Men.. More women in positions of power is the way to go. One of the main reasons I am a Democrat. (cept Im not sold on Hillary at all, but thats another post)

And there is very little distinction between the two acts of Vitter and Craig. They both solicited for sex (one paid – which is illegal in most states) and the other was “cruising for gay sex” which in the minds of most Republicans is way worse because it is “Gay Sex”, not that it is more criminal than the other (also, he was charged with a misdom

Had that person been a female… would that change the party’s opinion of their fallen comrade? I bet is would.

Face it.. if it has “gay” anywhere on it, the Repugs see these action as “worse” that heterosexual sex. And then there are those who say ” but what about the children”? I knew that would be in one of these posts. Talk about rhetoric.. they don’t give a shit about children if it gets in the way of their goals, which often has nothing to do with children. If they were concerned about children, or anyone for that matter, the would get back the being that party of small government, and stop trying to privatize and profit on government functions.
But I digress.

And keep in mind folks, Republicans created this “sexual standard” by going after Clinton and holding him morally accountable for his sexual scandal (which was not illegal) you have raised the bar and and the Reps you are being held to the same standard and falling like flies. Whats good for the goose..

So, off with both their metaphorical heads. And lets get past this stupid debate that I think Repugs specifically find titalating, but at the same time, abhorant. I think this is a symptom of a sexually repressive party who members exhibit the personality traits that got Craig in the trouble in the first place. They say one thing in public and do another in private. Until someone finds out, then they are sorry (because they were caught) apologize to their family, go into rehab and are never heard from again, or deny and lie until they have no choice but to face that facts, and even then, just like our on Administration, they just ignore and keep on doing it anyway regardless of the opinion of the people.

You’re much too nice. There’s nothing “grand” about the GOP. How about “Greedy Old Perverts” or “Group of Perverts?”

This is close to the point I would like to make, but I’ve been late in getting to this thread. I myself have wondered if the Republiscum are true homophobes or simply don’t mind Vitter’s case because it involved a monetary transaction. After all, no Rethug, as far as I can recall, has made a fuss about the many nocturnal visits to the White House by gay hooker/bogus journalist Jeff Gannon/James Guckert on dates when no press conferences were held. Could it be that the G(reedy)O(ily)P(erverts) simply have no problem with paid-for sex?

An even weaker excuse on your part, mighty hypocrite/vapid venus. Your admitted ignorance of unsavory rumors about Craig ’s lifestyle doesn’t mean they didn’t exist from long ago, toodlie.

Please tell me, oh, mighty hypocrite, what non-morality I celebrate. Unlike the slutty-looking wife of your favorite candidate Fred Thompson, I have never had my salary garnished or a lien put on my assets, because I actually pay all my bills and for the most part on time. (I must admit there were a few times that I miscalculated the amount I thought I should have had in my bank account by a certain date, or that the due date of a bill simply slipped my mind, but I’ve never been so late that legal action was threatened–let alone taken.)
Since you have also brought up Ted Kennedy’s accident for the upteempth, I must say you have “great taste” in first ladies, real and potential. Laura Bush, who, like Senator, also caused a fatal car accident in the 1960s. And Jeri Thompson, who has had her salary ordered garnished three times for unpaid bills. (The last one remains unpaid because she stopped working at the place from where her salary was to be taken.)

…in the Vitter and Craig situations…

…has its roots in the same- mostly male-dominated- view…

…that two (beautiful) women engaged in sexual activity with each other…

…is not really considered “gay” sex…

Once again, you’re confused (no surprise there!). I am not a Prog or a Pervert-Pseudo-Repub……

That train left the station years ago. This is a woman who made a joke about her deceased child. I think someone has it around in case we need to post the context of it. She needs some serious help.

It must make you crazy.

Ooops. Too late.

If Vitter had solicited a woman in/outside a woman’s restroom, he would be receiving the same treatment.
