Grow a pair and grow up should be the GOP's in-house motto. I've never understood those who don't have the courage of their convictions--something the Dems seem to have (even if you don't count those who've been convicted ;).

The Dems will now be seen to be bashing a gay man for having private communications with a gay man. Their retreat will be complete, or they risk offending their gay supporters.

This is turning into a major screw up for them, and in fact could hurt them overall if they are seen as collaborating with ABC in their version of Rathergate.

Excellent points, all. One additional thing that Pastore said: "The Democrat Party, who apparently have no problem wiretapping a private communication between two consenting adults, is the same group that raised holy shiite over the Administration's surveillance of conversations between terrorists and "Americans", when one party is in the United States.

One last thing...isn't it interesting how all of this broke, if A-BS did help plan this, not long after Clintoon's threats, the thinly veiled threat about broadcast licenses being pulled by the Minority Dim leadership, and Clintoon's meltdown against Chris Wallace and FOX News?

Duplicity, thy name is Democrat.

And this is exactly when the Republican penchant to "go along to get along" will begin to kick in.

I expect the next Democrat play to be "haven't they been damaged enough? Can't we just put this behind us and get back to doing the people's business that they sent us here to do?"

And then the Republicans will accede, and we'll be back to last Thursday, as if all of this never happened, until it happens again.

No, that's too rational. It's more like how some women will cling even more to a man even if he beats them. Some sort of sado-maso-codependency thing they have. In short, your average Dim interest group.

The Dims really are sick people.
