Why are Republicans so consumed with Democrat ethics scandals, when they themselves...?

Question

Are this century's poster child for corruption and cronyism?

Can't they stay *focused* on their own problems, without going: "I may have done it, but look at this guy! HE'S WORSE!"?

Wolf:

Democrats have been above the law all this time? Is this your way of saying that Republicans WEREN'T when they were in control of Congress for 12 years and making up whatever rules and laws they felt would benefit themselves and their party?

Forgot about Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Ney, and DeLay, huh?

Maybe instead of smearing those people you don't like, maybe you should concentrate on finding a WAY to fix the problems plaguing your own party for a change, eh?

Answer 1

I've always found it rather interesting that Democratic scandals tend to be more about sex, and Republican scandals tend to be more about money, power and corruption. To me, the former is more forgivable than the latter. I can understand someone going a little off because of sex, but not for something as cold as money or power.

Answer 2

The same reason why democrats do it to republicans, its a dirty game polaticians of every party are guilty of playing.

if it was up to me there would be no parties and then we might see what people really stand for rather than what they're against

Answer 3

I am refusing to vote for anyone who says derrogatory things about another candidate, I want to hear what the they have accomplished, not what dirt they can dish on the other guy.

We'll see if there is anyone left to vote for come November 2008

Answer 4

I think we should just vote out both major parties and vote only for Green and Libertarian candidates.

Answer 5

Oh get real. They both do it and you know it and equally as much. It isnt a republican problem its a politician problem.

Answer 6

Because the Democrats ARE the Culture of Corruption.
These have been caught in Corruption since January 2007:
Reid
Pelosi
Obama
David Scott
Feinstein (If she was a Republican, she would now be in prison.)
Note**** Hillary & Jefferson were caught prior to January 07.
However, DEMOCRATS ARE ABOVE THE LAW. Always have been. Always will be.

Answer 7

Sweetie, that's like asking a fish not to swim.

Answer 8

Thanks for your fine example of Liberal hypocrisy! You Liberals never have felt that you all should be held to the same standards as everyone else. Thanks again!

Answer 9

They call it "Payback"
