Typical stories about Republican bad behavior usually refer to them being caught with underage boys. This is a step up for Republicans.

Can you believe how they dismiss and, in some cases, even defend such behavior?

Yeah, must be why it took a year to hear anything about this in the media.

Since the story is a year old, it was easy to google and learn that the FBI determined nothing was illegal.

Keep the deflection coming, guys. It only helps Romney. Six months ago I figured Obama had the election locked up. Every day that goes by with crap like this I think Romney edges closer to a win.

I'm not defending bad behavior. Bad judgment. And immature. But the FBI? And a year later? Give me a break.

How is this story deflection? It doesn't have anything to do with Romney and Obama. If it did, I would have put it in the election forum.

The FBI interviews happened a year ago too, not just recently.

In 2009, Rep Yoder was cited for refusing to take a DUI breathalyzer test after being pulled over by a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper. His campaign maintains he hadn't been drinking.
Thirty freshman lawmakers went to Israel in August 2011 for an all-expense-paid trip, along with their families and aides, that cost a reported $10,000 per person."
