It doesn’t matter how loudly they try to reclaim their morality.
As long as Clinton is the head of the Democrat Party, the
waves of laughter will make that reclamation elusive.

That's because Clinton is the titular head of the Democrat party.

Amen!

That man is nothing short of disgusting.

Clinton Cost Democrats the Moral High Ground

Faulty assertion. They have to have been on the moral high ground in the first place to have lost it. Clinton is simply the grand mudslide on the slippery slope of moral relativism the RATS operate from. He's just taking them for a long downhill run.

Get out! What'd he say?

"A legal secretary reported to her Clinton-supporter boyfriend that Clinton had tried to force her to have oral sex. She was warned to keep her mouth shut..."

Somehow I don't think keeping her mouth closed is going to be a problem.

Clinton Cost Democrats the Moral High Ground

I strongly disagree with the title. President Clinton did NOT cost the Democrats the High Moral Ground. Democrats obsession for power and win-at-all-cost mentality cost hem the moral high ground.

Yes, there were many allegations against Bill Clinton. When he was sued for his conduct, the Democratic Leaders defended him and attacked his accuser. Their fear of losing power blinded them on doing the right thing. They lost the perfect opportunity to establish the High Moral Ground for their party.

Defending Bill Clinton is just one of many immoral actions the Democrats have taken in recent years. They engaged in character assisnation in the California governor's race not unlike their attacks against Clarance Thomas, Newt Gingrigh, and an array of other conservative. If you disagree with a Democrat, you must be a (fill in the blank).

Their actions leave little doubt that the Democrats have lost their way and is the party of immorality.

What makes you say that?

I guess it would be appropriate to add Rush to that list.

"Perhaps when they chose Clinton as their champion, most were not aware of his past."

I think a lot of Arkansans were aware of Slick's shenanigans. I have an acquaintance who grew up and lived in Arkansas during his tenure; she said that yeah, we all heard he was a "rounder", but hey! that's a guy's personal life, so...so what?

So what?!?

In my good-hearted (and probably foolish) way of according people the benefit of doubt, I have often wondered if this might not be true. But then I think, gee, why don't they just dump the slimemold and be done with it? But they keep on trotting out the ragged remnants of the Clinton era. They installed his beastly wife as a Senator, and elected his bagman as head of the DNC. So that leads me to think that either the Clintons are like a narcotic, difficult to kick once hooked, or that most Rats in any position of influence knew exactly what they were getting when they cast their lot with Clinton. They made their Faustian bargain and now the payment is coming due, with interest.

He mentioned he was reading from "his friends on FR" and shortly thereafter he described the "KISS OF DEATH" graphic on this thread.

I think he was talking about this thread:

Why doesn't Hillary dump Bill? It is common knowledge in Chappaqua that he is having a very public affair with a divorced 37 year-old local resident. His secret service motorcade frequently spends the night parked in her driveway.

What’s more to the point is do we give our candidates a free pass on this?
