Quote by ByronLord
I have no problem with politicians having an affair or six on the side. They should have given Bill an incentive plan, a nubile virgin to deflower for each month the deficit is cut by x% or is eliminated.
What does infuriate is when the party that has claimed the position of national arbiter of moral standards turns out to be filled with adulterers, homosexuals and whoremongers. I have no problem at all with any of those in itself, it is when they are coupled with hypocrisy and vicious nasty attacks on people who dare to do in public what they are up to in private that they become an outrage.
Newt Gingrich impeached a President for adultery while he was doing the same.
The GOP has been pandering to the religious right for decades now. They have tried to eliminate the right to have a abortion and some of them have been trying to outlaw contraception. They have made their sexual activities fair game.
Aha I stand corrected about the sexual reference and now understand - pardon my gaff it is due to my bewilderment/ignorance regarding the complications of US politics. If these guys are the self declared watchdogs of public morality you have a point. And they blend in perfectly with my above declaration re charlatan being synonymous with politician.
