Fossella, who at 43 is serving his fifth full term....and therein lies the problem, imho. The longer these guys serve, the more "above the law" the believe they are.

relieving at least a small burden on House Republicans nervous at the prospect of another scandal-tainted member hurting their party's national imageWhy are Republicans the only ones who's image can be tainted by scandal? The Dems have had an avalanche of scandal this year.

What’s wrong with you guys? Really? A Dem can do anything and get away with it, but a GOPer is destroyed every time... How disgraceful

That's how it is. That's why we'll always be better than them.

That’s because Republican voters have STANDARDS. The Dems were going to hang this issue all over us, and we could say HELLO to Congressman Finocchio, er, Gentile.

The republican party needs to completely clean house of all the nasty junk and resume the moral high-ground.

Because we are supposed to be better.
We're supposed to be the law and order party and the party of morals.
It is best that they are removed even if the left and their fellow leftists in the Media is populated by hypocrits on this matter

...Fossella was bailed out of jail by his girlfriend...If he had just killed his girlfriend he would have a shot at the senate. No, I guess not. He's a republican. Big difference.

I think James Oddo would be a perfect GOP candidate for this district. Some of you may not remember this infamous incident a while back (WARNING: Adult language) . . .
Jim Oddo Blows his Top
For those of you who aren't familiar with the dialect used in this clip, it's called "Staten Islandese."
If they blanket the airwaves with clips of this interview, he'll win in a landslide. LOL.

“Why are Republicans the only ones who’s image can be tainted by scandal? The Dems have had an avalanche of scandal this year.”
Because Democrats are heaping piles of crap and hypocrites. While I don’t condone drunk driving and adultery, Democrats wear it like a badge of honor. If a dopey Republican does it, Democrats start screaming about the lack of “family values”. This coming from the same party that advocates the murder of unborn babies and rewarding families who’s father disappears. Go figure.

Jim Oddo was set up by that bogus interview. Since when does a foreign news program (real or comedic) have the slightest interest in a Staten Island City Council member? Everyone on Staten Island knows that Jim Oddo is a hot head. Democrats call it “passion”. Again, the double standard rears its ugly head.

There is no such thing as a politician who always takes the moral high ground. They would be preachers instead of politicians. Hell, even some priests and preaches don’t take the moral high ground. It all boils down to one thing...the way the person votes on issues near and dear to you. Most liberal hypocrites in Congress booze and whore around and sell out their country every chance they get. Republican yahoos, booze and whore around and try to remain decisions beneficial to their county. Some times they succeed, some times they don’t. At least they try. Democrats ALWAYS sell out.

Good. Besides the screwing, I can’t see how a DUI would play well where a lot of the key voters are police officers and their families.

“I think James Oddo would be a perfect GOP candidate for this district.”
You may be right, but I’ve read that he wants to be Staten Island Borough President. Other Republicans are looking at running, though one of them (Andrew Lanza) is under a lot of pressure to stay in the state Senate, due to fears that the DemocRATS could win a majority there.

There is nothing with taking the moral high ground. Nowadays it is virtually impossible. Politicians are too jaded to be moral to take the high ground. There is no such thing as a perfectly moral politician. They ALL have skeletons.
