The allegation wouldn't have affected a Democrat.

It didn't affect my congressman,Gerry Studds. And it was more than an allegation.

From answers.com
Studds is remembered chiefly for his role in the Congressional page sex scandal in 1983, when he and Representative Dan Crane were censured by the House of Representatives for separate sexual relationships with a minor – in Studds's case, a 1973 relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page.

As the House read their censure of him, Studds turned his back and ignored them. Later, at a press conference with the former page standing beside him, the two stated that what had happened between them was nobody's business but their own.

Studds was re-elected five more terms after the censure.

Yes it would. It would improve their stature among their base.

If this is true- and I believe it to be- let it stand as a rebuke against this one man, regardless of party. The Republicans will see that he gets what's coming to him.
THAT is the difference between us and democrat(is).
Our sexual predators are prosecuted; theirs are party heroes.
And one more thing, fellow "freepers": grammar- check your grammar before you post.

Cheers.
