I really have to wonder why it is every time a Republican is exposed
as a liar, crook, or sexual deviant, they are run out on a rail.
Don't get me wrong, I think that is what should happen. But have you
ever noticed that when it is a democrat, they just seem to stay
around. Let's look at some of the evidence. Barney Franks is caught
up in a sexual prostitution ring ran from his house. He goes on to
serve many more years and retires from Congress. William "Cold Cash"
Jefferson is caught with $50,000 in his freezer. He is still in
Congress. Cynthia Mckinney assults a police officer. She continues
to serve until she loses re-election. John Murtha is neck deep in
Abscam while serving on the ethics committee. This happened 20+
years ago and he is still in Congress. Ted Kennedy leaves a woman to
die after being drunk and wrecking his car. Still serving in
Congress. Robert Byrd is exposed as a former recruiter for one of
the most violent chapters of the KKK. Yep, you guessed it, still
there. The list goes on and on. I am wondering why the democrats
refuse to get rid of these people. I ask you to name a Democrat that
was run out of Washington for his bad behavoir. I can name several
Republicans. Look what happened to Trent Lott. Does anybody else
see the double standard here? Again, don't get me wrong, I want the
bad apples out. I just don't understand why the Democrats don't do
the same thing.

republicans don't run and hid(to "DeadHead Neil"), they kick people out when they see a character, an act, or some kind of behavior that doesn't belong in our government!

Many Republicans resign due to pressures from those in their own party. Can anyone name recent instances where democrats have pressured one of their own to step aside ?
Consider Mel Reynolds. Convicted for sexual assault with16 year old girl and President Clinton pardons him. Where there an complaints from democrats ? Reasonable people from all parties and faiths should have been insulted with this.

Yes, but you'll never get a Democrat to see it. To them, it is all a Republican setup and the fact that they appeal to people with low IQ's make that an acceptable excuse.

Too much to think about. There are things in life we will never ever understand. But in the end of the day, there is good and there is evil. take care.

Democrats have the ability to stand up for what the do and what they believe. Republicans run and hide. Democrats tough our the rough times. Republicans blame it on al queda , weapons of mass distruction, or the "liberal press"!
