Democratic governor NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer campagined on moral decency- got caught with whores & promptly resigned.
Other Dems have not been so self-righteous, so the backlash aginst them as been "eh" at the worst, except for Newt's clintonian witch hunt.
Recently though, you've got Oliver North writing about howlacking in morality Obama is because he won't voice support the popular uprising in Iran. This is from the man who sold Iran 1,000 hand held missiles to the Iranian Extremist regime.
Rush- railing aginst drug addicts- whicle misusing or even dealing- large quantities of illegally prescribed drugs.
Then there's: Foley, Vittner, Ensign, Sanford, Newt, Haggard, Swaggart, Guliani, Chesworth, Bunn Bolton, Barr...Etc.
It's not that Dems. don't do the same thing, it's that Dems. don't throw the stones or act or self-righteous about "God-fearing family values."

This post and the one that follows it agreeing with it in totality is, in my opinion, what is wrong with politics today and for the last 10/12 years !
It is all about PARTY....everything that happens revolves to folks who think this way around the PARTY !
How anyone can generalize like this...."it's that Dems. don't throw the stones or act or self-righteous about "God-fearing family values."...is something that I cannot understand. You are talking about what party is shown on their registration card and condemning/praising is such HUGE generalities.
And while I am at it...allow me to agree with VK....quoting folks who are without any doubt, with no arguing.....ENTERTAINERS and not representative of any party...does not make sense. When I hear Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Mahar, Keith Olberman, etc quoted I just cringe. WHY listen to thiese folks....YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR !!!!
