They join Rep. Eric Massa (D) of NY, Rep Anthony Weiner (D) of NY, Rep David Wu (D) of OR, Rep Mark Souder (R) of IN, and Rep Vince McCallister (R-LA) in this club since the turn of the century.

Wonder how many were not caught...power does act funny on some, although Hastert goes way back before power time.

This stuff has no political bias, does it ?


This sounds like all the more reason why women should be running things. When was the last time a woman was involved in a sex scandal of this sort?

Well, "all the more reason" does not apply. I find NO reason to elect a woman BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.

Unlike you, obviously, I have concern for my country thus looking for leadership and ability to work with others and putting the country first.

On those scores, one I do not know well and the second lacks leadership and certainly does not put the country first. I am assuming she can work with others until shown otherwise.

You favorite candidate comes with more baggage, which includes her husband and his couple sex scandals, unexplained finances, and...well....the rest are mostly my opinion.

Bottom line is Ms Clinton should stay clear of any sex scandal talk

A humorous thought.

Do you think Ms Clinton would be put off her game a bit if she walked out to a visit and saw Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky's all sitting in the front row ?

It is meant to smile at, and not a personal attack. Those 3 are proven scandals thus not just stone throwing. Talk about political dirty tricks, huh ? Of course you could add Kathern Wiley and a few of the others.

And this has exactly what to do with Speaker Hastert's indiscretion? But thanks for playing.

Absolutely not one thing. I suppose post 12 took us off track but nothing at all.

Oh, you have news on Hastert's "inscription" BEFORE in politics. Like I said as soon as they started after Gingrich as if Hastert did something in office, it went to another subject.

Hey....this is neat...stick around and act as monitor. We oft times get off thread subject......anytime we talk about ISIS, it gets switched so we could use your help in maintaining order.

Not sure what "thanks for playing" means....famaliar term from on here, and if that means you are with the crony crew....well, then I understand the playing comment !!!

But you got us.....please keep an eye.

Again, the "Less Than Gang Of Six" old grumpy man appears to give his worthless comment. Please realize that here and on Topi-, we do not wish to hear from you.

You are mistaken - many of us do wish to hear.

Guest 05-30-2015 07:23 AM

Is it just me, or is everyone who posts in this thread showing up as "Guest"? What's up with that?

An incorrect assessment?

Guest 05-30-2015 09:46 AM

How surprising can the news be. He lived with his chief of staff while in D.C. That is so odd.

Dear Guest: Lois Lerner was shown to have violated three criminal statutes 1) She helped to target only conservative organization thereby robbing them of equal protection and due process 2) She may have impeded the Treasury inspector general's investigation of the matter by giving misleading statements 3) she risked and may have exposed confidential taxpayer information by using her email address while conducting official business.

Eric Holder as AG would not investigate the IRS matter not only because he was partisan but because evidence came out that his own Justice attorneys were implicated in Lerner's targeting. Kimberley Strassel WJS.

Other news stories explain that Clinton's email as Secretary of State indicate she had early warning of trouble and another story stated both Obama and
Clinton knew one week prior to the attack that an attack was imminent. Obama apparently was more concerned by his reelection then the lives of Americans

The liberal media intentionally just yawn's but if America let's these abuses/scandals go unresolved and those responsible unaccountable then expect further abuses from our government. One wonders why there isn't more moral outrage being exhibited by American citizens

The Clinton Foundations activities are alarming because there are claims that they were selling America and dealing financially with our enemies.This warrants a thorough investigation but again the usual suspect will head fake and feint indignation that critics would damage this wonderful couple

Personal Best Regards:

This one made me chuckle!!!!!

It's amazing how stupid Hastert is. Any applicable statutes, either criminal or civil, have expired since the alleged incident happened about 30 years ago. Dummy Denny should have hired Bill Cosby for an advisor. Just deny everything and don't pay anybody a cent. Especially if this is an isolated incident. Who is more believable, Hastert or some 50ish ex student from a small town?

Why he would agree to $3.5 million is unbelievable! Then, instead of writing checks or just making electronic money transfers, he pays the guy in cash!

What an idiot!

I think its funny that controls put in place by the Patriot Act ensnared him, he pushed that act through while speaker. Fitting!!!

This forum amuses me at times. Reps and Dems pointing fingers at each other and missing the points altogether. How does a former school teacher elected to serve the people come up with enough money to pay 3.5 million dollars in extortion. That is what the discussion should be about. In my opinion.
