We can't have a candidate who has done this sort of thing to a twenty-something.

I agree, but I don't want to hear shit from the media or the left about this.

Taking advantage of Monica Lewinsky was no big deal to them, so why should this be?

People need to stop being astonished by this; it's obviously a bigger deal when a famous evangelical pastor has gay sex with young men than when a left-wing openly-gay congressman has sex with young men, for example.

The hypocrisy angle is what infuriates people when it's moral indiscretions among loudly self-identified social conservatives.

It should have been for Clinton too. We know why it wasn't. Didn't help that Monica was actively pursuing him, not the case here.

The naysayers need to get real. If this happened to one of their daughters they wouldn't call it sexual harassment. They'd call it rape.

(All of the above assumes that the story and the logical implication are true. I suppose he could have taken her to his apt because she was smashed, put her in the bed and slept on the sofa ....)

It's NOT a big deal to them. It is their hope, however, that it be a big deal with Republican (base) primary voters so as to knock Hermain Cain off the pedestal upon which he has been placed by said voters.
