IN Rep Mark Souder

Do as I say not as I do should be the repub anthem.

At least he has the decency to step down unlike Mr. Wide Stance and Mr. Appalachian Trail.

If only he was a Democrat, it would have enhanced his resume.

Dick Blumenthal (D) holding on line one for you. He's looking to explain how he served in Viet Nam while never serving in Viet Nam.

THis thread is about Republicans and their hypocrisy. Idiot democrat politicians from Connecticut aren't the issue of this thread. If you want to discuss that idiot, start another thread.

Phillandering knows no politcal bounds.

Kennedy and Clinton prove politically it's a timesless and univeral syndrome of rogue alpha males.

It's as common place as dandelions on suburban parkways.

Republican or democrat, they are all a bunch of power hungry idiots. We need to have term limits to avoid people starting a dynasty.

Politicians are like diapers. They are full of sh!t and need to be changed often.

Was that supposed to be "universal" or "univiral".

Neither Kennedy or Clinton resigned afterwards either. If you are a Democrat, an extra-marital affair enhances your resume.

Republicans have to resign.

Enhances your resume. You really live in a fantasy world.

That is such bullcrap and demonstrates again why some citizens have blinders on when discussing politics.

Did we forget too soon the NY governor resigning ?

BTW: I have always believed voters deserve what they get and are responsible for their choices and also for rising up to vote them out.

Term limits makes voters even lazier and less accountable for their decisions.

Remember - a few incumbents were dumped just the other day.

Except that todays reich wingers are all morally superior to the Dems or ordinary Americans that don't agree with their stances on social issues. It's hilarious to see this guy, who shot a video promoting abstinence with the very same person he had sex outside the bonds of his marriage, resigning and blaming his resignation on the Beltway press corp not his own actions which are contradictory to his espoused moral principles.

Exactly online.. and lets say for a minute that HJ is right that Republicans pay more for their transgressions, wouldn't that make sense?

Considering they basically run on a holier than thou moral platform of being good Christians. You'd expect them to be held to a higher standard when they are winning elections based on Christian causes.

Well how about Nancy Pelosi calling on the Cardinals and Bishops in th U.S. to preach about immigration reform yet she if for abortion. How can she use her Catholic faith when it suits her needs.

The difference between Republican and Democrats is like the difference
Alcoholics and Cokeheads. The Republicans(Alcoholics) will steal your wallet and truly be sorry they took it. The Democrats(Cokeheads) will steal your wallet, tell you it's lost, and help you go look for it.

You're an idiot Boca. That's just a stupid statement. You could easily say the same if you changed the names there. You have no idea how much remorse these people actually feel.

Hell, the guy from South Carolina is still seeing the mistress, clearly he didn't feel that bad about it.

Are pols all that much different than those philanders and weasels in entertainment, sports and corp board rms and the neighbor down the street and cousin Frankie?

Politicians are merely a broader and morer highly profiled reflection of the commonplace value systems in vogue in USA and many other copy cat nations absorbing American pop culture lifestyles. Do you ever follow politics in Italy or South America?

Of course your forgetting that one of the 2 alcoholics (Bush admitted and Cheney has 2 DUI's on his driving record) is also an admitted coke user(Bush)

I hope you read OBama's 1995 memoir "Dreams From My Father" where
the President talks about his use of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine.Maybe you've forgotten about guys like Teddy Kennedy and Tip O'Neill? How about Marion Berry? My point is I don't like behavior on both sides of the aisles. Although I just see the Democratic side trying to destroy what has been the traditional value system of the country. The US is not Europe nor are we a Banana Republic. Reread "1984" a story about subjugation of the individual for the collective.

Exactly Boca, both have used alcohol and cocaine. You are in no position to judge one as forgiving and the other as a dishonest person.

You don't know them personally, there are liars and crooks on both sides of the aisle, and to use your moral compass to determine who feels bad about it is a joke.
