while people like Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, Mark Foley, Tom Delay and a clergy member or two keep proving that to be untrue. Or are these the kind of morals to which people are actually referring?

Morals! After Iraq a Republican is going to talk about morals! They have no morals! None! They pray to the money, and they don't care who has to die to get it!

Not all people can be upstanding in either party,but the republican party does stand for morals and family values which is more than I can say for the democrats. I started stating a longer list of democrats with faults, but it kept going. No one person is flawless, but this country WAS founded on biblical principals and laws. It seems to me that the republicans are the only ones who remember that.

Somebody actually counted all the offenses of the two major parties' members. Guess who came up with the most? NOPE, not Republicans. Want to know what sources they used? L.A. Times, NY Times, etc., etc., What have you got to say to the charge of the party of corruption now? You mislead or you follow the misleaders. Start doing your own research like I did. You might find you actually are a Republican if you stop listening to the propaganda.

The term "morals" is hard to define. does this mean that they are concerned with most strictly adhering to church teachings? - in the which case, then yes, they will tend to be more "moral". If you think moral means fairness and not starting wars, and respect for all americans alike, without descrimination ( such as gays ) then no, they're not moral in the least.

No one is perfect.
While the Republicans are drawing fire because they are in power in most of America, the Democrats have not been angels either.
I must concede your point, that the Republican leaders have many corrupt and apparently immoral individuals in their ranks. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I ask myself the same thing. They claim to be the party of morals, but I think they are a bunch of hypocrites.

They certainly aren't referring to the "moral" Democrats and I'm not just talking about Clinton and the other "jobs" he had at the desk in the Oval Office. Democrats were the ones who created the Jim Crow Laws that prevented Blacks from voting in the South for more than a hundred years. Democrats made sure they enforced them, too, by any means necessary. Right at this moment, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd is celebrating re-election and he's proud of his Klan membership. Then there's this:
Top 10 Democratic Sex Scandals in Congress
10. Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.
9. Former Rep. Gus Savage. The Illinois Democrat was accused of fondling a Peace Corps volunteer in 1989 while on a trip to Africa. The House Ethics Committee decided against disciplinary action in 1990.
8. Rep. Barney Frank. The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990.
7. Former Sen. Brock Adams. The late Washington Democrat was forced to stop campaigning after numerous accusations of drugging, assault and rape, the first surfacing in 1988.
6. Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won re-election—before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and drug possession.
5. Former Rep. John Young. The late Texas Democrat increased the salary of a staffer after she gave in to his sexual advances. The congressman won re-election in 1976 but lost two years later.
4. Former Rep. Wayne Hays. The late Ohio Democrat hired an unqualified secretary reportedly for sexual acts. Although he resigned from Congress, the Democratic House leadership stalled in removing him from the Administration Committee in 1976.
3. Former Rep. Gerry Studds. He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters returned him to office for six more terms.
2. Former Rep. Mel Reynolds. The Illinois Democrat was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. President Bill Clinton pardoned him before leaving office.
1. Sen. Teddy Kennedy. The liberal Massachusetts senator testified in defense of nephew accused of rape, invoking his family history to win over the jury in 1991.
So I wouldn't be so high and mighty about it; these things were easy to find. I'm sure if I dug a little deeper, bigger Democrats would scurry out.

The Republicans morals are no better than anyone else's.
I'm not sure what morals they are talking about either.
I agree with your assesment.
