The Democrats said how Republicans are 'corrupt' or have 'scandals'. Hello?! corruption and scandal is what Democrats live for. Its their trademark. Rather hypocritical of them isnt it?

Former Democratic Rep. Gerry Studds had a relationship with a page. And he remained in the Democratic Party.
We kicked Foley out, thats the difference.
And you don't see the FBI confiscating $90,000 from Republicans refrigerators.

Because they think they we are too stupid to notice or remember their corruption and scandals. Like:
Top 10 Democratic Sex Scandals in Congress
Found this list at Human Events Online
What Rep. Foley did was evil immoral and reprehensible. I hope he is fully punished unlike the below listed Democrats.

I am an independant voter. I am not affiliated with EITHER party. The truth is they are all full of crap and lies. I just vote for the one that I think is best. Some of this scandal stuff, I really do not care about. The Clinton fiasco. Well as a woman, I thought to myself, that adulterer!! Shame on him. As a voter, well that was Hilliary's problem and NOT mine. When I do have a problem is when the lies start to have an effect on the country as a whole. The weapons of mass destruction...oh my what a lie that has caused so many lives. I think if people would take the time to look up at the elephant's butt and the donkey's butt, they would see that they are both full of crap. (Not lady like but true)

Neither party is as honest as they say they are. If you believe Democrats don't lie to their voters than you're a moron and if you believe Republicans don't lie to their voters than you're a moron too. Both parties are corrupt. Both parties have scandals, although recently the Republican scandals are starting to outweigh the Democrat ones.

Instead of bashing Democrats, how about singing the praises of who you all chose to represent this country? Where are your compliments for job well done/cheers to Georgie? I hope your children get sent over to fight the war in Iraq that we are so badly losing. Oh, I'm sorry you probably think we are winning. By the way, are we on a orange level or red level terror threat today?

Democrats trust in the favoritism of the press to make them look good - so they cast stones with impunity.
That is why FOX is their bane. It will talk about a Democrat named Studds when the other stations will not.

Amen.
All the Foley thing did for me was remind me of Clinton, Studds and Frank. NOT good company to keep, if you ask me. Throw in the Kennedy Clan and it is just a mess.

You are so right. Think of how much more united and strong we would be if both sides stopped playing politics with the future of this nation.
