Im probably going to get flamed, but more is expected of R. Although it was a contributing factor in the Tidal wave of 94. Dems seem to forgive that stuff. There is no better example than Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd. Barney Frank and Steni Hoyer.
Really? I don't recall much furor from the RWWJ's over this loooonnnggg list of Republican criminals...
http://washparkprophet.blogspot.com/2005/11/republican-criminals.htmlThat list, except for Scooter, doesn't include the list of criminals that either are or have been on the current President's payroll, like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others...
I don't see the Republican voters holding the criminals amongst them to any standard whatsoever, much less a higher one than anyone else...
Besides touting themselves as the party of "Law and Order", not to mention feeling like they have a stranglehold on "God", the Republicans...by a very long length...have had more divorces, been convicted of more sex crimes, have committed adultery almost out of hand, and continue to get a free pass from their "base"...why?
Because the "means justify the ends"...even when there is no "ends" that ever comes up...Republican voters will vote for a two-timing adulterer who divorced his wife after she was in a disfiguring car wreck, and then married the younger "lady" he was cheating on his wife with, before they'd ever say "boo" about it.
If Republican voters held their candidates to any standards at all, they'd hardly ever vote for any of 'em...and we all know that most of them just check to see if the "R" is next to their name on the ballot before voting, and that's about all they care about.
And that's just keeping it to personal and ethical problems, which both parties have issues with, being human beings and all...if you were to limit the malfeasance just to abuses of power, then the Republicans would run away with it...and it wouldn't even be close.
Again, though, so long as it's an abuse of power in furtherance of conservative "ideals", i.e., "fukk 'em all and show me the money", then they just get a free pass.
Both parties, and all the independents, have their problems with ethical and legal concerns...but to even for one minute try to favorably compare the numbers of criminal repubs with the criminal dems is an exercise that differs by orders of magnitude.
Fish on...
