Nope....no bias here: (h/t Gateway Pundit)
House of Pain: GOP's Class of '94The sex scandals that have tarnished Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) and Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) don’t appear to have much in common. Yet there is one thread that binds them together: Both Ensign and Sanford were members of the famed Republican House class of 1994, as well as its latest casualties.
As it turns out, the pressures and demands of political life have inflicted devastating damage not only on the Ensign and Sanford families, but on the families of many of the 71 other freshmen who formed the vanguard of the Republican Revolution.
In the 14 years since that star-crossed class arrived in Washington espousing an agenda that placed family values at its core, no less than a dozen of its members have been caught up in affairs, sex scandals or in messy separations and divorces from their spouses that, in more than a few instances, led to their political downfalls.
Only problem with this is the fact that they came into office with the Contract With America as the core of it's agenda which reads:
Thereafter, within the first 100 days of the 104th Congress, we shall bring to the House Floor the following bills, each to be given full and open debate, each to be given a clear and fair vote and each to be immediately available this day for public inspection and scrutiny.1. THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT: A balanced budget/tax limitation amendment and a legislative line-item veto to restore fiscal responsibility to an out- of-control Congress, requiring them to live under the same budget constraints as families and businesses. (Bill Text) (Description)
2. THE TAKING BACK OUR STREETS ACT: An anti-crime package including stronger truth-in- sentencing, "good faith" exclusionary rule exemptions, effective death penalty provisions, and cuts in social spending from this summer's "crime" bill to fund prison construction and additional law enforcement to keep people secure in their neighborhoods and kids safe in their schools. (Bill Text) (Description)

While I agree some Republicans were hypocrites on issues they were dealt with....and quickly. What gets my goat is the fact that the Democrats shrug their shoulders when one of their own is caught, or worse yet, making excuses for them and doing their best to ensure no punishment comes their way. Check the archives to read about Reid to Pelosi and dozens in between.

I supppose it’s better to have a Republican who cheats on his wife than a democrat who cheats on the US Constitution.
Good grief, she stole her hairdo from Sideshow Bob.
Why would you expect them to be fair and objective? They are propaganda tools for the Democrats only.
And in other news, dogs bark and cats meow.
Check the archives to read about Reid to Pelosi and dozens in between.
***the pressures and demands of political life have inflicted devastating damage ***
BS ,Political presure doesnt make a man go looking for
some stray.
A willing woman looking to be close to a politically powerful man and not caring about that man’s family , and a man’s ego allowing him to think she actually wants him and not the power ,is what causes this problem.
Any man is prone to this same temptation, but being a day laborer doesn’t present a man with the same opportunities.
And in other major news July temperatures will be hot. sarcasm.
