What about Fred Richmond? He had sex with a boy and was re elected. He may have been forced out for something else later, but it shows the power of the Democrat base as regards the pecadilos of their leaders.

Agreed! The double standard as far as it pertains to the Dums is disgusting. I've never understood how they get away with so much. I say there should be no turning a blind eye to anyone who engages in questionable sexual conduct with a person who is underage. No matter that the age of consent in DC is 16, these are not the types of people we want running our country. Both Republicans and Democrats must take in upon themselves to police their own and not back down. Of course, the chances of the Democrats doing that is slim to none, but at least by contrast the Republicans can show themselves to be the better party.
