Does anyone else see the irony in regard to this issue?
If liberals put a "Witch" up as a candidate (and I'm not refering to Hilary, Nan Pelosi, or Maxine Waters) and conservatives registered concern then all the liberals
would immediately attack them and call them intolerant, bigots, closed-minded, and ignorant. They would say how dare we judge and they are an "alternative lifestyle" and they should have all the rights and liberties as any other citizen of the U.S.
Can you say double standard.
"I'm you" is far more creepy and bizarre than "I'm a witch."
I thought so too!

Doing drugs If you mean Obama, that too happened arouond the same age as C. dabbled. If you mean Bush, well, we all know "that's different".
Knowing someone that damns America I bet you know someone who does that as well.
Cheats on their spouse. You have to be kidding! That is a bi-partisan activity if there ever was one.
Got impeached Nixon (R) resigned before he got impeached. Clinton was not found guilty of impeachable offenses.
All of those things are fine you all will still vote for someone that is the above but someone that experimented with something as a teenager is horrific. Lets all sit here and pretend we havent done anything as a teenager that we regret. In the grand scheme of things this should be acceptable considering how much the left dislikes GOD
It's similar to all of the conservatives who were shocked, shocked that Bush had a DUI many years before the election. He admitted multiple times that was a recovering alcoholic. One would expect a severe alcoholic to get a DUI a some point. The Democrats didn't care. The were unlikely to vote for him anyway, but the DUI was not the issue.
I dont remember people being shocked like that. I dont know anyone that wasnt aware of that. Its not like it was a state secret
lol No democrats didnt care thats why people bring it up each chance they can to slam Bush. How many times have we heard " Bush is an alcoholic" Bush has a dui OMG. . Give me a break democrats use that against Bush each opportunity they can

1-Byrd was a KKK member as Bill Clinton said to get elected. So dont think you can ignore his past he was in the kkk when he got elected. That doesnt change
2-Do you really want to compare doing something illegal IE drugs to something not illegal.
3-Shame on you
3-Yes it is but that doesnt excuse it now does it.
4-Clinton was found not guilty only because he took a deal. The world knows he was guilty. Good for Nixon his butt should have. I dont make excuses for corrupt politicians

No--the social conservatives would call all of the democrats satanists if they ran a Wiccan candidate. That is, when they're not calling the dems (and what you all call rinos), liberal, socialist/communists. Save the fake outrage--you know it's true. That's why she's being made fun of--because it's so hypocritical for the republicans to support someone with that background. I could care less if she dabbled in witchcraft as a teenager--my bigger concern is the stands she's taken in recent years, and those are equally nuts. By the way--re the Ted Kennedy comparison. Ted Kennedy is dead, and it happened 40 years ago. Different time, and really, a different country. If he's the best example you can come up with, then you're really having to search hard.
LOL! I was thinking, heck, if she was a witch I would have voted for her. Then she went on and claimed to be me and to be quite honest, this scares the begeezus out of me as one of me is more than enough. Although I suppose I wouldn't mind having long in depth conversations with my cute self, we do agree on a number of things after all.

I regestered no "outrage" fake or otherwise. I'm neither surprised nor outraged by the libs attack on a republican. It's par for the course and expected. I was just noting the irony as I stated in my post.
And also noted there are hundred of examples of liberals giving their party a pass but Ted Kennedy's was by far the most outrageous and sick.
YOu want a more timely one Ok how about our president today! Obama's given a pass on his scandals and associations. But you already know that.
Obama doesn't look like Sara Palin...oh wait, I thought you were talking about him when I started reading your list!
