Republicans cast out their own sinners; Democrats embrace theirs.

And Jesus said he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Democrats don't embrace their sinners, they excuse them. Republicans don't cast out their sinners, they throw them over board lest they get tarred with the same brush. I think, between the two, at least I can admire the Dems' loyalty and courage in not abandoning or kicking their own when they are down.

Jesus: He who is without sin, cast the first stone.

Why then do Dems cast stones at Reps who they say fell from family values? Why do they hypocritically then turn around and ignore that Bill Clinton apparently fell from family values?

And why have Dems not first pulled the beam from their own eye?

nothing wrong with holding folks accountable for their actions, especially if their actions reflect poorly on others

Demoncrats embrace them because those "sinners" are the heart and soul, the very essence of the Demoncrat Party.

Conservatives, at least, have the consistency of some measure of morality to cast out those who violate cultural norms.

Conservatives would rather punish and imprison the pedophile. The Demoncrat would ask where the pedophile found the hot dude/chick.

“....at least I can admire the Dems’ loyalty and courage in not abandoning or kicking their own when they are down.”

That thinking is twisted.

It’s not so much loyalty as it is a pack mentality. The same thing is evident in unions where even the most incompetent and lazy workers are protected.

And it’s not courage, it’s being brazen and ballsy. It’s the same ‘courage’ that a thug has when he attacks an old lady knowing that she can’t defend herself. The GOP is the old lady in the world of politics.

Loyalty and courage are the traits demonstrated daily by our troops in war zones. You cheapen the words when you apply them to the democrat party.

The Democrats make them Superstars of the Party:

Clinton, Kennedy, Studds, Frank et al.

This is more about protecting their power and lack of any values than having loyalty.

Larry Craig lied about who he was. He has been elected over and over because he told his constituents he wasn't interested in having sexual encounters with men. The fact that he's gay is secondary. His whole life is a lie. The GOP and voters should go after people who are total liars like Craig. Homosexuality isn't even in the 10 Commandments and Jesus never said anything about it. That's not the case with lying, and this wasn't just some small fib, either.
