The GOP leadership kicked Foley because his action were contrary to the moral values of the party.
The Dems dumped Leiberman because his morality and integrity were at odds with the New Democrats."]
. . .the same. ..but not the same. . .both dumped - but no moral equivalency in decision .i.e.
The Repubs were 'right' to dump Foley. . .the Dems were 'wrong' to dump Leiberman. . .
Or. ..we could just note that fall taken by Leieberman; was shorter than the one Foley took. . .;^)
