Party affiliation IS relevant -- Republicans always portray themselves as the party of values and morals, and vilify Democrats as godless and amoral. Republicans have made THEIR morals the issue by saying how much better they are. Get it?

Point taken.
Amazing how defensive some people get when you point out the contradictions of someone in their chosen party. Especially when they were the first ones to shout condemnation from the rooftops about a Democrat president's bj, as if it affected anyone's safety, national policy, or national security. Republicans are known for pointing a finger at the other guy to divert attention away from their own faults, and being big phony hypocrites- maybe they should just deal with the issues.
To be fair, there are pervs in all walks of life- they need to do house cleanings in state governments as well as the national government. I'm glad they are cracking down on people who are sick and hurt children.

I was under the impression all candidates were at least being screened if not they should be, everyone else has to endure the scrutiny so why not them too.

The excerpts from the article were taken out of context. He was asking the kid about school and such. Granted, he shouldn't have asked for a photo, but having poor judgement isn't illegal. Just stupid.

When a Liberal politician does immoral garbage, liberals say stay out of their private business. (President Clinton)
When a Conservative is immoral their just gone. No conservative and especialy no liberal will support them.
If you want principaled politicians vote Conservative.
