Man 1: Do you hear about the senator who resigned after being busted in a men's room in Minnesota?
Man 2: Yeah. That's horrible. But, at least the Republicans resign... Did you hear about the guy busted with $90,000 in his freezer?... Yeah, he's still in office!

Senator Kennedy's car is dragged by a wrecker out of Poucha Pond. (Ytedk)
Are we starting to see a pattern, yet?
Maybe, this will refresh your memory some:
** Republican Rep. Mark Foley resigns from Congress after he exchanged raunchy electronic messages with a teenage boy. No crime was committed.
** Republican Majority Leader Rep Tom Delay steps down after allegations of conspiracy and money laundering. Some bogus charges later dropped. No crime was committed.
** Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) steps down after pleading guilty to lewd conduct.
** Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) answered an ad placed in a Washington, D.C. homosexual paper, the Washington Blade, by Stephen Gobie, a male prostitute. Gobie became Barney Frank’s live-in sexual companion, and was soon running a male prostitution ring from Barney Frank’s condo. Today Frank chairs the Financial Services Committee.
** Rep. Gerry Studds (D-MA) has sex with underage male House page. Studds turns his back on the House when he is censured. He continued to serve in House for six more terms.
** Senate Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) plagued by scandals: Abramoff Scandal, Sons who are lobbyists, boxing tickets and other perks, land deal that made him $1 million, etc.- Serves as democratic Senate Majority Leader.
** Hillary Clinton (D-NY) Her husband is impeached- record number of scandals and convictions during his term in office. She herself takes money from FBI fugitive. Today she is leading democratic candidate for president.
** Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) kills girl . Leaves her in pond to drown. Today he is second longest serving member (next to the former kleagle) in the Senate.
** Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle (recruiter). Today Byrd is longest serving member in the senate.
** Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt)- in a 1985 television appearance Leahy disclosed classified information that one of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's telephone conversations had been intercepted. The information that Leahy revealed had been used in the operation to capture the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship and killed American citizens, and the Union-Tribune claimed that Leahy's indiscretion may have cost the life of at least one of the Egyptian operatives involved in that operation. Because of his several leaks he was forced to step down from his seat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Today he is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
** Democratic Iowan Senator Tom Harkin (and John Kerry D-MA) traveled to Managua, Nicaragua to assure Fidel Castro's proxy Daniel Ortega that Senate Democrats were working overtime to thwart President Reagan's efforts to bring Democracy to the region. Today he is head of Senate agriculture committee.
Are we starting to see a pattern???
Clearly there is a difference between the political parties.
You forgot that Senator Kennedy conspired with the Russians to undermine President Reagan.
ReplyDeleteAnd the only Democrat I can remember going to jail for his dirty deeds was the flamboyant James Traficant, Jr. who the Dems hated anyway.
It's pathetic how the MSM picks and chooses which people they want to attack and tear down.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans are much more convenient targets for them. With all the scandals that have plagues the democrats over the years, you'd think the MSM would pay more attention to them. I guess it's not convenient enough for them to tear down those men who support their liberal agenda.
Thanks for posting this list, GP
The Republican Party dumped Craig because it stands against homosexuality. The Dems by and large don't believe he should have had to give up his seat just because he may be gay but were sickened by his intense opposition to homosexuality when he seem to be one himself. Can you Democrat critics say hypocrisy?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Bob Livingston.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to me is that in every Republican case you can find fellow Republicans, conservative columnists and bloggers rushing to pile on. Then, those same columnists express glee when they get their republican scalps. Ex. Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham.
In the case of the Democrats, you won't find anyone on that side of the aisle saying a discouraging word, and you will find plenty of (R)s voting "not proven" or talking about the injustice of the charges or some similar lameness. So the Dems keep trotting out their killers and klansmen and kleptomaniacs and clintons without anyone objecting.
There are many Senators whom I hold in a certain respect and would not think of declining to meet socially, if I believed it was the will of God. We have lately sent a United States Senator to the penitentiary, but I am quite well aware that of those who have escaped this promotion there are several who are in some regards guiltless of crime--not guiltless of all crimes, for that cannot be said of any United States Senator, I think, but guiltless of some kinds of crime."

Evidently it has been such for some time...

ReplyDeleteof course they can always count on Hillary
to tell a good "racist" joke, or two, etc..
"He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about."

Keep working John, we'll learn how to do it your way fairly soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry John, I was talking to the coward. Analmouse.
ReplyDeleteHey bg, those reminders were good and thanks for posting them...
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, the Democrats have a long & sordid history of racism
A @ 11:59 AM also brings up some very valid points... Good call!
Don't forget the pimp, Barney Frank, and the child molester, Gerry Studds.
