In 1995, DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN Mel Reynolds was
CONVICTED of 12 counts of sexual assault and obstruction of justice because of
1) having sex with a 16 year old campaign worker
2) conspired to have sex with the worker's 15 year old friend
3) soliciting child porn
YEP - DEMOCRAT CHARGED, PROSECUTED, CONVICTED, & SENTENCED TO PRISON ! Pervert.
(Makes Mark Foley look like chump change, huh?

Odd how short and selective the American public's memory is.

Deep sigh. Yes, there are idiots on both sides of the aisle. Do I have to dig out my list of Republicans charged with similar offenses and take up all that space listing them? Sexual inappropriateness, deviancy, and pedophilia doesn't come with a Democratic/Republican sticker on the offender's forehead. What party they belong to isn't the deciding factor, rather isn't a factor at all when it comes to offenders. Does anyone really think that an offender says to themselves :Hey I'm a pervert, I think I'll be a Republican (or Democrat). Reality check anyone?

Yeah. The thing is that the media don't like the Republicans and they held the information for 2 years before releasing it.

I could list republicans that have been caught with their hand in the "cookie jar" but what would be the point? Those cases would be as irrelevant to what is going on now as Reynolds is.

I think the timing was a big issue..Just before the senate and house elections. It`s all part of their little game those boys in Washington have going on.

SSHHHHH!! The liberals go into twitchy spasms whenever you bring up a case like that. Now we'll have to endure an hour of denials, deflections, and accusations against the Republicans...

Mark Foley was sending instant messages to a male page that was 18. I don't think that makes him a pedophile. It just makes him a homo which is equally gross.

It is a double standard that the left uses as immunity.

It only matters when they have an R after their name.
