Yea, except isn't Sanford now back in Congress for SC? Not looking it up, but some of these clowns seem to have nine lives. Or more.

Did look it up. Now in Congress. lol. Imagine that. haha

Its Louisiana. Where GOP Senators retain the 'moral voter vote' because morality in Louisiana has been reduced to simply opposing equality and dignity for Gay persons.

Dignity? I'm sure you've seen a gay parade. There's nothing dignified that I can see.

Not only that, but nobody -- no Republican, no Democrat, nobody -- filed to challenge him in the November 2014 election. So unless he goes hiking on the Appalachian Trail again, he's basically home-free for another 2 years.

South Carolina voters showed bad judgment by putting Sanford back in Congress, IMHO. But he ran against several opponents as a private citizen, not as the incumbent Governor or Congressman, and at some point you have to let the people make their choice and live with the consequences.

The difference is that the Republican party will possibly ask for (may not get) him to step down, not run again, or other reparations.

The Democratic party would say "that's just Grayson being Grayson and a good spokesmen for our party". Hell, they defended Teddy Kennedy until his passing and beyond... and we KNOW what he got away with.

Does it even bother you that you're mostly wrong when you try to paint with such broad partisan strokes?
Anthony Weiner Submits Official Resignation Letter

Except again, that some of the DNC powerbrokers DIDN"T WANT WEINER TO STEP DOWN... he did it on his own.

Quote:Democratic Rep. David Wu of Oregon announced Tuesday that he will resign amid the political fallout from an 18-year-old woman's allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter with him.

Did the DNC pressure him to step down or did he do it on his own after the media pushed the story? I don't remember anyone in the DNC telling Wu they wanted him to step down (although Wu may have due to the age of the allegations).

Btw.. I'm not aiming this at anyone on the forum and their opinions, I'm referring to DNC and DNC-Money men.

The only person I can think of that the DNC said 'step down" was Jesse Jr.

Apparently there is going to be some sort of official/public statement by Louisiana GOP today calling for McAllister's resignation.

From the link regarding Wu:

Quote:Wu had already said that he would not seek re-election, but he had come under increasing pressure to step down. Shortly after the allegations broke, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi requested a House Ethics Committee investigation of his conduct.

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for him.

And from the link regarding Weiner:

Quote:A number of members of Congress, including top Democrat Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), called for Weiner to step down. President Barack Obama also weighed in, saying he would resign if he were in a similar position.

Can't we all just agree that this type of behavior has no party lines. Please?

Chairman of Louisiana state GOP (Roger Villere) and Governor Jindal have made separate announcements calling for McAllister's resignation.

Sorry, Tom, but Schultz didn't put out a statement on Weiner until it was insurmountable. She was on the morning talk shows defending Weiner as long as she could. I remember that it wasn't until CNN called Schultz out on the lack of a statement from the DNC (which she chaired), that she finally ceded that Weiner had to step away, but she didn't put that statement out without a fight.

===========

As for Wu...

Quote:Wu had already said that he would not seek re-election,

You may highlight the other part, but to me that's the important part.

Quote:Can't we all just agree that this type of behavior has no party lines. Please?

This I'll agree with.. but I still say the original point stands. The leadership of the political parties respond differently...

Quote:Congressman Vance McAllister issued a statement Monday afternoon "asking for forgiveness" after The Ouachita Citizen first reported McAllister was captured in a video recording passionately kissing and embracing a member of his congressional staff.

...

Throughout last fall’s congressional campaign, McAllister, a Republican from Swartz, touted his Christian faith and in one television commercial, he asked voters to pray for him. At least two other campaign television commercials featured McAllister walking hand in hand with his wife, Kelly, while their five children walked along. One television commercial captured the McAllister family in the kitchen of their home preparing breakfast before attending church.

McAllister and his wife have been married for 16 years.

UPDATED: McAllister caught in extramarital encounter (video)

Apparently she was married too. http://www.joemygod.blogspot.com/2014/04...qus_thread

Never mind that he'll not lose his seat over this. David Vitter paid a prostitute to dress him up in a diaper and didn't lose his seat.

I don't think "morality" means what you think it means. We're just not afraid to tell you whiny biitches to STFU.

That being the case, Lazy Tom, STFU.

I bet this is still immoral to ol gay Tom over there in Lazybrook.

"Jindal called Rep. Vance McAllister's behavior "an embarrassment."

The governor said Thursday in a statement that if McAllister wants privacy as he's claimed, "the best way to get privacy and work on putting his family back together is to resign from Congress."

Vance McAllister has announced to local media in Louisiana that he will not run for re-election this November: http://www.thenewsstar.com/article/20140...|FRONTPAGE

I still think he should resign sooner than that, but… oh well.

Now Vince McAllister says he might run for re-election after all:

http://louisianaradionetwork.com/blogs/m...5tLLVzTze5

The guy is a POS that should just go away. Nothing but a stupid con man trying to cast himself as a conservative christian. While I know that most congressmen are con men, as voters we should at least try to NOT vote in known liars.

My thoughts exactly, miko

in fact, the roosevelt administration set sort of a record because both elanor and franklin were sleeping with other women.

I think the kennedys were all sleeping with jackie when they weren't banging marilyn, but at least they had taste.

and then you had bubba clinton, who didn't even know which half of a blowjob was the important half. he only got the first half.

I've never heard that about Eleanor or the Kennedys. Are you certain or just blowing smoke?
