Larry Craig, Bob Packwood,etc. are shown the door almost immediately. Hell, Larry Craig was engaging in a celebrated Democrat activity. On the other hand, Democrats have tolerated Bill "Riding Dirty" Clinton, Hillary Clinton's personal destruction of women Clinton has abused, Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd's waitress sandwiches, Joe "Handsy" Biden, JFK, RFK, and the list goes on.

Curious how everyone sees it. To be fair, the Republicans do tout themselves as the party of family values, so it would make sense that hey have to be mindful of perverts for that reason. Democrats are the anti-family values party, so it would make sense that they would be a bit more tolerant of perverts.
Too much KOOL-AID for you Comrade.

Trump in the White House pretty much says it all.

Sure, meanwhile I'm watching the second week of unrelenting bashing of Moore on the evening news and the media, and two days later, nary a mention of the dimwit Franken.

Reality proves you're quite mistaken.

The poll question choices are misleading, likely purposefully.

Oh yeah.

Franken has done it ONCE, has been honest and saying yes he did, he'll have an ethics hearing and will cooperate.

Trump denies everything, They were too ugly for him. While he's talking about doing someone who was married and grabbing p^$$y's. AND ITS ON TAPE! This is th F^*CK*NG president!

And this Moore clown from Alabama, uses God to stand behind his sins. He was so bad, he was banned from a mall! You have to be really bad to be banned from a mall.

Hypocritics.

So did Clinton, both parties contain members (no pun intended) of the male sex.

It really isn't a political issue. But one overbearing, uptight, dictatorial political party will make it one, like everything or anything else, that they might use to gain votes for their side.

And the useful idiots take the bait every time.

I voted both, because there have been times when both parties have shielded somebody rather than tossed 'em out on their ear.

However, I would note of the two parties, it's more likely the Republicans who are thumping their Bibles and telling everybody else how to live....while not obeying the rules themselves. The Democrats don't tend to do that. So while they're both equally guilty, the Republicans also have an added layer of hypocrisy to their shenanigans.

Is this supposed to be a serious take on the parties? Family values? Uh--not since the 50s.

Isn't Donald Trump a republican?
