Human beings make mistakes. Especially ones in matter of personal judgment. Yet there is a double standard. Democrats escape accountability for betraying marriage vows and committing adultery. Republicans get run out of town when its discovered they spent time visiting a brothel. Liberals are understanding of Villaraigosa. But conservatives - at least social conservatives, think that David Vitter is a tarnished man who needs to be punished for breaking his marriage vow. Never mind his solid conservative record! Force him out of office! Its not like he harmed any one else except himself and his family. All we do is give the truly depraved and corrupt an advantage in public life by adhering to the double standard.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Does anyone remember when the Bush twins were caught drinking under age and the days of media "attention" given to them, compared to the media "attention" paid to Al Gore III?

The media is OUR enemy as much as any other group! I can't think of any other American institution I'd like to more see brought to their knees.

Reporters have established the double standard.

Our guys need to ask dems running for office if they feel sex outside of marriage is OK. Is it really "anything goes"? Maybe we should ask them while they're sitting with the little woman...

Put them on the record. Let's see if reporters are making assumptions...

David Corn finds a Senate phone no on the DC Madam’s list—asks folks to track it..Dan Riehl does—it was Senator Moynihan’s office (probably one of his Dem aides).LOL

They have this new guy Drew Westen, who's trying to teach 'em how to speak again.

I wonder if that's the same Drew Westen from this thread...?

Cheers!
