Who has defended it? Foley is gone, and will likely go to jail, and no one will shed one tear for that hypocrite, least of all anyone on our side outside of the small circle of spineless "leaders" who looked the other way for political expediency. Conservatives are even calling for Hastert to resign, given all the tea leaves that should have been read about this sicko years ago. Not being an especially "compassionate" conservative, I echo that sentiment. What more do you want from us? Our people at least have the decency to resign when confronted with their folly. Yours rejoice in it and become even more emboldened to cling to the public trust they no longer deserve. Hell they even become more popular with your base. > > Recall, though, that the Republicans have been actively courting the > religious right, and have been saying they're better than the > Democrats morally. So when using the "they're just as bad" defense > you've just taken away any perceived edge you had with your base. They aren't "just as bad" as the Democrats, one homosexual member's failings compounded by spineless leadership's inability to deal with it honestly and effectively notwithstanding. I shudder when I think of celebrity perverts like Frank and others attaining leadership roles in the new Congress. But really this should have been expected, since the Congress that couldn't convict Clinton must have had its reasons for pulling back from the brink of actual accountability. Personally I'm about ready to join a third party. Democrats revolt me, and Republicans depress me. Same difference. > > Democrats aren't the ones walking around saying they're better than > the > other guys, after all. That, Kristyne, is entirely false. On every level they claim to be better, more humane, more compassionate (hence more moral), more intelligent, etc.. Unlike Republicans, though, they rally around their pedophiles and hypocrites, while we in the Republican party accept the sadness of what has happened and in fact DO hold our leadership accountable when they demonstrate pathetic lack of spine, as in this case. If the Democrats were honest, Gore would have been President in 1998. And if the Republicans were honest, Foley would have been behind bars a couple of years already. You will probably get your wish for a Democrat majority, because we in the Republican party take this kind of moral "nonsense" seriously (note how quickly we dispensed of Gingrich and Livingston when their skeletons came out), despite the fact it is clearly a calculated "october surprise" by a newly, uh, lubricated Clinton political attack machine. Your political slime machine is giddy with excitement over this, though they've defended even worse behavior among their own members for purely partisan reasons, with equal vigor, and will do so again in the future, when they have the power. Which is too bad, since your party is utterly incompetent to defend these borders and these institutions, as will be evident soon enough after the pendulum swings in your favor. Be careful what you ask for.
