Of course the DNC has scandals, but social conservatives reject even the mere mention of impropriety even as its leadership is mired in it.

On the other hand, the DNC says "so what, we're only human?", and the voters accept them.

The long and the short, if you're going to set yourself up as the party of family values and morals, you best hold up to scrutiny.

I admire Bill Bennett, but it's unfortunate that the man who wrote a book called "Virtues" turns out to have a problem with gambling.

Any intelligent voter in this country shouldn't be at all effected by Bill Bennett and his gambling exploits.

That's Gorgonzola.

Considering that Bennett is a Catholic, and that Catholics are not noted for a puritan attitude toward gambling - and that Bennett is not on the public dole or breaking up his family, what exactly is his "problem" that we should take note of? That he's not a Methodist?
