republicans screeched about clinton having an affair,so why silent when newt gingrich & henry hyde confessed?

Answer 1

Because they didn't Lie about it on National Television ; " I did not have Sex with that Woman ...."

Answer 2

I believe there is a difference between an affair and coercion and/or rape! I don't even need to mention perjury of the president of the United States, or the shame and dishonor he brought to the office.

Clinton raped many women and the women were condemned!

That is what a lot of us are angry about. Then he walks around smiling, like he is the world's gift to women.

As a woman I resent that the women he raped were dismissed like children telling stories at playtime.

I don't condone affairs but, let's talk reality. Rape is a crime!

Clinton should be serving time. When there were that many women who testified, they cannot all be liars.

See what Clinton's cash can buy? If it was any regular guy here, he would be behind bars for a long time!

Answer 3

The Gang Of Pirates thought that they owned all the media and could get away with anything. The only thing that stopped it was the Internet.

I had actually been reading Solon.com for a few weeks before that and had seen all the right wingers like D. Horowitz and many others published by that site.

When Salon published the story of the man who's marriage had been ruined by Hyde, one that he had taken to every national press office first and turned down, The entire MSM went into paroxysms of outrage making all sorts of claims that any person could debunk just by going on the internet and looking at the actual Salon site.

I was flabbergasted at how outrageously they lied about it and from that day knew that there was no voice in the media that was not in service to the GOP.

I sought out real information on the web ever since and have watched as such awareness went from hardly anyone to a substantial portion of the public, but still barely a critical mass.

Today it is quite clear that the folk leading the attack on Clinton, and still a major force in the Media and Republican party is a secretive Conspiracy of very wealthy Fanatics, not religious themselves, but who want to install a Totalitarian Theocracy and hate the very idea of Freedom or Democracy worse than any Islamist.

Hyde and Gingrich are and were pikers by comparison to most of this gang of perverts. Clinton's little affair was brought out only after a mountain of vitriolic charges were widely disproved. Of course all that is like nothing compared to the deceit that has done death and much worse to millions and will be the curse of billions more in generations to come.

Bush has had very much worse noted about him including widely noted (if only on the Internet) "sleepovers" by male prostitutes, and a great deal worse, all much more substantiated than was ever the case about Clinton, and none organized and financed by any particular group.

Today it is widely shown that the mental pathology that creates and fosters exploitative, bizzare, and abusive sexual practices and attitudes, is also the pathology that fosters all exploitative, bizzare, and abusive practices and attitudes in all other endeavors from Economic to Political. That is why it is call a Right Wing Authoritarian pathology.

Answer 4

I suppose the same we could draw an analogy here....

How many posts on here do you see about who is running for House of Representatives? almost none right.
But going a few hours without a question about who should be President probably doesnt happen either.

In peoples minds the President is much more important. So you hear about what they do more. I did not say this was the correct line of thinking. Its simply how it is.

So the President having an affair you will hear much more about in a similar manner to the examples I described.

Of course I dont recall that Gingrich or Hyde were 1 - having affairs with interns, and 2 - were getting it on in the oval office.
Those are also important.

If you or I were a federal employee getting it on with someone subordinate to you we would immediately be fired im sure.
But the President being the biggest federal employee of them all didnt.

Now I honestly cant blame him for going elsewhere for his lovin, im sure he gets none from Hillary.

Answer 5

Neither Gingrich or Hyde were serial philanderers. Clinton's adolescent horndog behavior was even dragged into the White House Oval Office. He became, and still is, an embarrassment to the US. He has elevated his wife's status of cuckholdette to new levels.

Answer 6

Because if more people knew that Gingrich was having an affair while he was leading the impeachment of President Clinton for having an affair the Republicans grip on "values" would break.

To Joe C: Speaker of the House of Representatives is a pretty high position

Answer 7

because henry hyde and newt were not the leader of the free world and occupying the white house. they also werent ignoring a real and dangerous threat of al qaeda for eight years. they also didnt bring down the ethics and morality of the whitehouse to a low never to be breached again.

Answer 8

because they never lied under oath about it, that's why...you see, bill clinton was the boss, monica lewisnsky was his subordinate, same deal with paula jones, they worked for the man, and when law suits of sexual harrasment came into court, bill perjured himself...henry hyde or newt never did that..

Answer 9

Gee why can't you dems accept the fact that it was NOT ABOUT SEX? Sex is not an impeachable offense. Lying to a Grand Jury IS. But I guess, "It depends on what your interpretation of is is." Right? And the idiot was given a chance to recant his lie but he still cose to stick by it. Quit drinking the Kool-ade and wise up.

Answer 10

Clinton took a oath to uphold the constitution then lied under oath in a federal court...Big difference

Answer 11

Clinton was President, lied under oath and was chasing BJs instead of Osama...
