Westhill, the difference is that Guiliani isn't pretending to be something he is not and has always acknowledged his transgressions willingly and openly, defiling no one but himself when doing so.
Clinton still does not own up to his behavior, has never admitted to it and made every effort to trash the name of everyone who ever stood against him regardless of the truth behind the allegations.
There is a world of difference between the two behaviors and yet, libs still rally behind Bill. It truly is as thought they champion evil.

This actually is REALLY funny... but they feel they can get away with it since they have no recollection of history, short or long term.
You ever notice how they defend their guy to the death and it suddenly becomes their "personal life".... yet.... when it's the other way around they act as though they have any ounce of moral fiber. What they fail to see is that while we do go after their guys for inappropriate behavior, we also go after our guys as well.... they just pat theirs on the back and move on.

A lot of people find the humor in it. I find it truly ironic.
Unfortunately, to be totally honest, whichever party happens to be in power, Republican or Democrat, will be atacked on whatever issue or front they "feel" will draw attention to their side's point of view, seemingly presented as a vocalization of the common man's concern with what is wrong.
In some cases, I think, that concern sprang forth from the ground up where common folk gather to discuss the issues of the day with their neighbor, be it their family's health, or politics and what's wrong with the government in general. That is a normal part of the election process -- to discuss the issues of the day with our friends, family & neighbors. The same way the issues of the day were first discussed between the Colonists back in 1776
At other times, I think the seed of that issue was planted by the sowers, sort of like a little bug buzzing in your ear & the people believe the buzz they hear over and over is their own thought brought out & should become an issue to discuss, nay complain about, because that buzz was starting to drive them crazy. Today, that buzz is carried in myriad of media and can be found everywhere the people turn.
The ideals, campaign platforms, or moral character of the one sitting in power has been, and will continue to be accosted on every front at the commencement of a new presidential election cycle. Think of it as a rallying cry for their cause, calling others to gather near them because they "know" what's wrong & they can fix it. Attempting to deliver the message of, "You only have to listen to what I have to say & then vote for me/my candidate/my political party in November."
That buzz in my ear is starting to really getting annoying! Anyone have a fly swatter handy?

What's sad is the hypocritical behavior of members of a party that plays the 'holier-than-thou' morality card to appease the religious coalitions, paying lip service (possible pun) to 'family values'. It's sad that self righteous brand of 'morality' doesn't allow someone to be openly gay or support of gay rights. Instead, that 'morality' forces your party members into the closet and prompts their own hypocrisies.
Since you brought it up... another 'wide stance' Republican, who sponsored a bill in the Florida legislature that would have tightened the state's prohibition on public sex, was busted for trying to obtain a $20 'unspecified act' from an undercover cop in a public restroom. I'd say he's hypocritical, frugal (cheap!) and maybe racist. What do you think?

"Allen, who also served as the McCain campaign's co-chairman in Florida, has decided that he would come out of this scandal looking better if he is perceived as a racist rather than a homo. Sweet!"

Rudy isn't my choice when defining a moral candidate. But you are right, he has admitted that he has opinions that don't go along with the ideal Republican candidate. Mitt is the best choice as far as I can see when defining morality, but I just don't sense a real strength in him. It's early days tho. Have libs been silly in their assessment of who is and is not moral? Given the fact they themselves state that morality is an inconsequential trait for the presidency, it is very silly for them to focus or comment on morality.

The main reason libs question Republican morality is because the Republicans have always said that they were the more moral party. Even if the Republicans didn't question the Democrat's morality so much , they would still come under scrutiny. But Republican moral hypocrisy really draws attention to it.

Funny - no - its tragic that the questions need asking in the first place and anyone paying attention who isn't wearing a blindfold should be asking the same questions.
Shame you can't see that for the slavish hatred of "Libs" as you call them. In most of the world they're regarded as normal, which may explain some of the wreck that Georege has caused. He actually believes his own propaganda.

I think it's you that haven't been paying attention my little friend. What planet are you from "your-anus" or what? Bush is an idiot and I don't understand what you people who believe in him and his policies are thinking of. Don't you realize he has abused his limited powers to gain unlimited powers for the next president and it is going to get worse as the next few presidencies come and go. We have no rights according to our government as the bill of rights and constituion have been excluded in our fundamental rights now since Bush-pig has been in office. Are you ready for the new police country of the North American Union-(America-Canada-Mexico)!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be here and we will have the Amero and no constituion!!!!

The Liberals may have started, but haven't the Conservatives been doing this all along?
Personally, I worry about how the country is being led. Sure, the immorality of a leader (and the punitive aftermath) might affect his governing, but bad governing itself is a bigger problem.
Maybe if GW Bush had had some kind if affair, drug problem, or cross dressing issue, he wouldn't have been so eager to invade Iraq.

no its not funny.
no one has a monopoly on morality.
and many of these 'moral' people tend to do very immoral things.
if you try and make yourself god-like you often become a very bad sinner.
if you admit you have faults you tend to be a better person
