Who cares what dozens do either.
Yeah, family values so long as you're white, middle class and don't need government services ... or if you own a business that's corrupt.
I have different values.

You are naive if you think Dems have nothing to do with corruption.

Who is filabustering?

The party of "NO" that's who.

GOP to defend
GOP lawmakers in the lower chamber are poised to vote en masse against the defense authorization bill if it includes an amendment to repeal the law barring gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. military.

Army, Marine officers at opposite ends of 'don't ask, don't tell' debate - News - Stripes
On Monday, Senate Republicans successfully filibustered a major defense bill that included repeal language and Marine Corps commandant nominee Gen. John Amos said in his Senate confirmation hearing that he opposed the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” during wartime.

Once again you purposely change the words of people.
Where have I ever said that no Dems are corrupt? No where.

I will always question the hypocrisy of the Rs who claim that they are the party of family values and get busted for sexual improprieties.
Just another example of them saying one thing and living another.

I think it is a party that will tell you what they think you want to hear and then behave as they intended. They create discontent among the mindless masses that can't do any critical thinking, they tell them what is bad, and stir up a fervor, when no one even checked the facts to see if there was any validity. .... kind of like them saying they are for balanced budgets... when they have no clue how to achieve it or desire to do so.

You mean the democrats and their esteemed leader, who told the people what they wanted to hear just so he could get elected. His chanting followers, the mindless masses that can't do any critical thinking (as you say) thought he could walk on water.

It's been two years, Obama STILL doesn't have a plan, and we're barely treading water.

In the meantime, small minds are concerned about a petty local politician's personal transgressions not because of what he did, but because of the party he belongs to. Justice will be served, I'm certain, unlike some Democratic partisanship bungling, wheeling and dealing where somehow, slickly, they just seem to drag it out or just plain get away with it. For example, there's a reason why the term "slick" has been applied to some prominent person, and stuck.

Threre's a reason the term 'teflon' was also applied to a prominent person, I guess it's easily forgotten though, eh?

Maybe we should change the name of the real party of Hell No, the demNOcrats to the real party of pretenders.

3 years and total control and they talk about all this stuff and have done ZERO about it.

I agree with you, what have they been doing for 3 1/2 years, they could have done what you posted about but they did not.

The real party of HELL NO and the PRETENDERS are the demNOcrats.

The real party of no MORAL AND FAMILY values is the demNOcrats.

The real party who does not like families, hates Americans and the way we live, loves the terrorist and illegal criminals is the demNOcrats.

No wonder there is only 20% of us who think and behave like looney liberals.

They are in a short minority and they know it.

Now it is time we TAKE away their power and control so they do not screw up America any worse then they have the last 3 1/2 years.

Vote the anti American non family and no moral value idiots out.

Wasn't there a song, years ago, about that? ..."I am the great pretender..."?
