    2 cases back in 1983 both involved Congressmen who were messing around with underaged staffers.

    Republican Dan Crane slept with female staffers and was drummed out of Congress.

    Dem. Gerry Studds was doing it to underaged male staffers . He told Congress to kiss his butt and was reelected a number of times.

    Call me a hypocrite but I prefer the standards of accountability that the Republicans try to live by because it extends well beyond issues of sex .

    You don't think so ? Congressman William Jefferson was reelected and won another Dem primary after all of his corruption was revealed.

    Keith Olberman ? Well since you brought it up... KarmaBites1

    It's no use Elliot. The lefties demonstrate time after time by both word and deed that they have no firmly held values on morals or anything else. They support whatever their whim of the moment is. Some people just will not see it.

    What I find irritating here is that the tone of some posters reveals that they think the church has a monoply on hypocrisy. The church isn't even in the same league with politics on that subject.

    Hello again, gal;

    For starters, torture is not a family value I support. You do. In fact, it's inhumane, IMMORAL and it just ain't right.

    That's where I'll end it too. WHO has WHAT morals is a no brainer.

    Hello again, gal:

    Nahhh. I'll go on.

    You support keeping civil rights from a group of your fellow citizens. I don't. Preventing people from enjoying the same rights you have, is IMMORAL, indecent, and just plain wrong.

    WHO has WHAT morals is becoming abundantly clear.

    Hello again, gal:

    I don't support pre-emptive war. You do. Invading a country that wasn't a threat to us killed a lot of innocent people, including more than 4,000 of our own men and women. It is an IMMORAL war, and it was the wrong thing to do.

    Frankly, your morals don't seem to measure up.

    Apparently a lot of people are getting their theology from the comic strips these days.

    Remember, if you want good clean oats, you have to pay the price for them. If, however you can be satisfied with oats that have been through the horse, that comes cheaper.

    Your and my ideas of torture are just too far apart for us to ever agree on this.

    If people insist on embracing abomination, that is their business. I just disagree with changing the definition of marriage that has endured for aboiut 6,000 years, that's all.

    Muslim extremists have been at war with the rest of the world for a millennium off and on. They recognize no national boundaries, and this is just the latest flare up.

    We were attacked, and have been fighting these people in Afghanistan, and yes, Iraq ever since. If there was no connection between them and Iraq, then why are we fighting them there?

    But you are probably right about one thing. Saddam knew how to deal with them. He simply slaughtered them, along with gays and anyone else he didn't like.

    Wow! Three shots in a row! I must have hit a nerve.
