They are saving their ammunition, until just before the next election, as they did in the Mark Foley example. That hit was extraordinarily effective, because it laid a tarbrush on practically EVERY Republican candidate, and if they could simultaneously hit four or five all at once, it would be, in their minds, a devastating blow, reducing the Republicans to an ineffectual minority for all time.
Nowe this is just the landscape, that Republicans have had to deal with for years now, and it has become much more brutal and forbidding that it was in years past.
Democraticans do not challenge Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, on the basis of their practical solution to problems. Left on their own, Democraticans would NEVER solve a problem, they want them to remain around as an issue endlessly. Or if they DO legislate some kind of ‘solution’, that solution turns out to have so many unintended consequences, that endless amendments have to be tacked onto the original concept until its purpose is totally obscured.
Instead, the objective is to DESTROY the individuals who make innovative efforts to solve what has been an intractable problem for some time, because this solution will negatively affect some pet project the Democraticans are heavily invested with. But the destruction is never by a direct challenge to the problem of concern, it is directed at some other relatively unprotected facet of the target’s life. His (or her) children are badly behaved, there is an ambiguous quasi-criminal factor somewhere in the background, there have been indiscretions of some dubious vice like gambling or extramarital excursions, just about anything that may be put in a bad light.
This is one guy who shouldn’t money on magazine subscriptions, time-share vacation properties, or book club memberships, oe warranties......
Because he doesn’t expose those who vote the way he happens to approve of.
He’s just another political hitman of the left - politics of political destruction are the m.o.
Almost as pathetic as hanging out in the men's room trolling for gays... Whom did that officer PO to get that job?
But the gays can still be out of the closet and not demand special rights. They might have more influence with both gays and straights if they were out of the closet.
‘Almost as pathetic as hanging out in the men’s room trolling for gays... Whom did that officer PO to get that job?’
I don’t know, but I wouldn’t want my kids seeing that stuff in a public restroom, so I don’t mind a sting to end the practice.
Here in Southern Ohio they’ve had to remove rest stops along the freeways due to this crap.
