Today, in Republican Hypocrisy
#11
RE: Today, in Republican Hypocrisy
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me.

And the whole reason they're able to get away with it is because so many of the Republican news sources sacrificed every last bit of journalistic integrity a long time ago just so they could adhere to the Republican talking points. You will never hear Faux News or Rush Limbaugh talk about this until and unless the mainstream media makes so muh stink over it that they have no other choice; and even then, they'll only talk about how it's proof that the rest of the media is biased towards democrats and about how the democrats are all out to get them.

I don't like the idea of the government being in control of the media, but it's certainly better than media being in control of the government; especially when it's media that's so willing to distort truth and outright lie. I wonder if what restrictions the FCC could put in place to shut Faux News down?

Really? You don't say? If that moron knew a fucking thing about human psychology he'd know that his infidelity is an evolutionary trait, and not a label trait. His lying was the problem, not the sex act itself.

AND men with power in general, regardless of political label, even just in private business, can and do have affairs because they think their power can allow them to avoid getting caught, but that is also a risk taker mentality as well Clinton did it for the same reason.

However, I wouldn't condemn him for being human just a hypocrite. Dems are willing to leave the private life of a politician out of the issue of their preformance. If anyone's wife choses to stay or divorce them it still is their choice beyond what I would do in their place.

Right wing nuts hate bug government when it comes to regulation that regards other classes as humans, but love big government when you touch your own body or someone elses body with concent.

Adultery is not a criminal offense for a reason. Otherwise he should self deport himself to a prison.

I also wonder, had he gotten what he says he wanted and abortion was outlawed, what would he have wanted his mistress to do when she got pregnant?

I'll answer that one for him.

RE: Today, in Republican Hypocrisy
Who actualy realy cares what a politician does in his privat life?
I think of it as being absolutly pathetic when people in or running for public office try to create some fake image of themselves of "wounderfull family men" or whatever.
Why!?
Is there someone who is realy that stupid, to make his or her vote depend on the image a public figure creates of his or her private life?
People in public office are supposed to do a job and not to look nice or whatever! They are not celebreties!
Of course I wouldn`t want to be ruled by a person who has sex with animals.
But an affair, a abortion or other "sins" from the youth? Every single French president since De Gaule had an affair and Francois Mitterand had an entire second family besides the one in the elisee palace.
Did France go down the gutter because of that?
This "debate" or battle or whatever - recently in which Ann Romney and Michele Obama duelled over who was the poorest. WTF! who cares!?
Helmut Kohl did the same here in the 80s, he turned out to be a horrible father through his sons biography in the 2000s and after his wife commited suicide.
I would never give my vote someone who rather than giving me arguments poses with his wife or kids. If you want to be a good mum or dad, be a mum or dad and dont use your children like a campain poster!

One can always tighten up libel laws a bit more, and properly fund a BBC-like alternative (ie PBS) better.

Lying is profitable. If it wasn't, this wouldn't be an issue.

Either you are not old enough or simply havent payed attention to global politics but that blue dress was worldwide news when it came out. If I sad Clinton's sex scandle, that would ring a bell, but someone managed to save Monica's cum stained blue dress without her permission.

Incidentally, that infamous blue dress is currently stored at Archives II out in College Park, MD.
America is too hung up on a puritanical view of sexuality. I don't care that this politician had affairs. I don't care that he knocked one of his mistresses up. I do care that he's a hypocrite.
