Uh, what? I DID say that Weiner should have resigned, even though I thought he did a good job in his elected position. A perv is a perv.Will Robinson wrote:TC you are really delusional if you think democrats don't get the same pass from their party that conservatives do. If Weiner wasn't likely to lose his seat next cycle his party would be behind him even now! they see dumping him as a chance to replace him with a more electable dem for the coming election because he was already polling as a big loser next time. Otherwise they would let him borrow their cameras and panties if it meant keeping his seat with a D on it!
Who was that William Jefferson Rep D who had used the National Guard in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina to stop rescuing people so they could take him to his house in the flood so he could retrieve his property...including the $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer...how many election cycles did he get protected? Two I believe!
How was it that the National Organization of Woman turned feminism and their long devout stance against sexual harassment in the workplace completely on it's head to protect Clinton for screwing Lewinsky on the job then shuffling her off against her will to a job outside the WhiteHouse?
You are in total party protection mode if you want to say Dems get out and Repubs get to stay!!
corruption is common place in both because too many people like you think it's OK to rationalize it on ideological grounds.
he must have learned that trick from Nancy Pelosi shuttling herself and her family back and forth across country on Military charter planestunnelcat wrote:Oh and how about little Chris Christie of New Jersey, that every Republican is calling for to run for pres. He got caught using a $2500-an-hour State Police helicopter and other state-owned cars to ferry his fat behind to and from his son's baseball game, under the guise that he needed to be available for important meetings. Uh huh. All the while New Jersey suffers from a massive budget shortfall. I think that cutting back on expenses applies to everyone, not just the lower elected officials and workers.

"Do as I say, not as I do". A great politician's motto.
What you said, as if you couldn't tell from my comments, was the repubs don't hold their asshats to the same standards that the dems do. Suggesting Weiner should be fired doesn't make up for that ridiculous statement. Anyone one would be able to make that call.tunnelcat wrote:Uh, what?

Now, about holding those Repubs to their higher standards, ...
Oh, I do agree with you on that point. I don't like either party using this fake moral outrage BS as a wedge issue. They're only doing it to make their own party appear better in the eyes of the voter, while laying the blame on that other bad party. What all these politicians need to do is learn to not throw stones at glass houses, because no matter what party they're from, they can all fall victim to the same indiscretions. What I don't like is that the Republicans always seem to try and protect theirs, while the Dems always seem to throw theirs to the wolves. SEEM is the operative word here. I'm not saying ALWAYS.Will Robinson wrote:Learn to recognize and acknowledge your dems are absolutely no better than the repubs in morality, ethics, compassion, integrity, honesty, etc. etc. and then go from there.
