Fixed.

Thank you sir.

I forgot momentarily that Republicans are little more than the very things they rail against.

In my opinion you should know that people are going to find out about stupid things you do if you're a politician

If you are going espouse values, and insist everyone lives like you, then you better be prepared to live under a microscope. I bet every single one of these bastards voted to impeach Clinton.

no pity for those guys?

Rep for you.

I guess these are the guys I DO have sympathy for:

Rep. Enid Greene, who became the first female member of Congress from Utah in 1994, spent most of her single term in the House dealing with a scandal of her husband’s making. Joe Waldholtz, who married Greene in 1993, embezzled millions of dollars that he used to help finance her campaign. Once authorities finally caught up with Waldholtz, Greene filed for divorce and took custody of the couple’s daughter. She did not run for reelection in 1996.

Former Rep. Jon Christensen (R-Neb.) was another high-profile casualty — he divorced his wife during his first term after she admitted to marital infidelity.

One, her husband fucks her over by embezzling millions behind her back from her campaign fund, and another, his wife cheats on him. They won seats hoping to serve their country, and both of their spouses betrayed them because of the easy access to money and because of the long hours they had to spend away. They deserve pity, even if guys like Foley don't.

^ That I can agree with, since that had nothing to do with them. Well, at least the second one, since I wonder if maybe the first one knew about what her husband was doing, and played stupid when he got caught.

Dave -

Please explain how a Rebuplican can "play" stupid.

Unopposed democrats = fail

We Need 2 parties to keep congress/senate honest.

Im a republican but I am very moderate (Centrist without all the Marxist bs attached). I keep hoping one day to have a viable moderate third party just so I wont have to support so many assclowns, but I have a better chance of winning the lottery.

Politics shmolitics. Dave's right - it boils down to hypocrisy. If these douchebags are going to try to preach (AND legislate) to the rest of us how to live, they should live up to their standards.


... or wait. Maybe all that morality, Christianity talk was just some bullshit so they could get votes! Nah, couldn't possibly be that, could it?
