This is not a Dem issue.

It is a GOP issue.

That is not flawed logic. That is fact. You are trying to make it a moral relativism issue. And in so doing, you are doing exactly the same thing that the Dems/leftists do.

By saying Foley was wrong, but so was X, Y, or Z a dozen years ago......that is moral relativism, and the PC crowd loves it. You fell into that trap. You are now using the leftist's techniques to defend your 'perceptions'.

They won. They caused you to use moral relativism to defend your 'perceptions'. And you didn't even see it coming.

Look Tom, I can lead you to flawed logic but I can't make you understand it.

That's life and I'm old enough to simply accept that which I have no chance of changing.

TomGuy, you're wrong on this one and are getting further and further into inane drivel with your arguments. You are usually one of the better posters here but you seem to be lost in the weeds here for some reason.

Some real basic definitions here so that we are all talking about the same thing. Moral relativism is saying it's OK that Foley did what he did because Barney or Studds did it. That is NOT the argument. Foley, Franks and Studds are all scum. The Republicans say so and Foley is history. Studds was reelected several times and retired on a full (taxpayer funded) pension to live with his significant other (not the underage Page he slept with). Barney let a male prostitute run a callboy ring out of his home and he's still there.

That's not moral relativism. That's pointing out sheer hypocrisy on their part.

OK, you hate gays. You think that the Republican leadership should have burned him at the stake, even though they had no evidence that they could act on at the time (don't play games, that's a fact). I guess you expect them to be omniscient. Too damned bad. Get off your high horse and pay attention to what's really going on. This is a play by the Democrats to damage Republicans and you're helping them.

End of discussion.

I will not respond to any more posts on this subject. It has now gotten too stupid to continue.
