I see no party affiliations mentioned at all in the linked article, did you Google every name mentioned and determine their party affiliation? If not then your point would be?
Maybe someday people will learn that amazingly, apples and oranges are different and it's not a double standard to treat them as such.
How funny that the anti-democrats on the forum have to dig so low in the barrel to come up with a city mayor to cite problems with a national party.
It shows their inability to see that representatives in Congress can and do make decisions that affect everyone nationally and some little mayor in a big city only affects those citizens, and some tourists, in their district. How nice of a world it must be when your vision is clouded that much. Now some of their ridiculous arguments make sense, you have to look at it without reason and objectivity.

Large cities have large influences on districts, which in turn effects who gets elected as senators and congress members. Not sure why you can't see the logic, but if you prefer to blame me for clouded vision instead, feel free.
Also, didn't have to dig hard. Watched the morning news, saw a show one day where they mentioned a Republican mayor with issues, then saw the Today show a few days later do a 2 minute story on the Atlantic City mayor, devoid of affiliation mention. I typed the name into google (took me 3 seconds) and boom there it was. Spent less than a minute googling the other articles. If thats what you call digging, I bet your garden doesn't do very well.

I guess I’m not trying to stretch and morph the logic to reason that any city mayor can represent an entire political party and therefore can also influence national elections. If you feel that a city mayor can influence a national election, then feel happy doing it. From my experience, most people I’ve met don’t really care who the mayor supports or what party they are from, only that the mayor can get the job done.

I heard about the mayor in passing on a network station, didn’t hear about party affiliation, the city doesn’t affect me nor does the mayor, so I didn’t bother to do any research as there was nothing important in it for me or any affect to me. For whatever reason you still felt it necessary to dig, any research, no matter how small was digging.

Once again, if you call a 3 second google digging, wow. Since I was already on my computer and had a google toolbar sitting there....I would call that answering a question created by the absence of information in a story.
Do you always get this annoyed when someone questions something? If so, I bet you stay annoyed constantly....

I mentioned earlier, Barney Frank, a Democrat who was caught running a prostitution ring, he's on the national scene. But since he's a democrat its kept hush hush. I won't defend republicans, im a libertarian, so i don't realy care what politicians are doing in there spare time. But its obvious whos held to a higher standard
Barney Frank did his thing a long time ago. I wasn't around, so I have no idea how much it was hyped or hushed. What I do know is that he was re-elected, over and over. Of course, he played dumb claiming the escort thing happened when he wasn't around. Whether or not thats true, I dunno.

Wow what lightening fast research skills you have. Impressive. You should get some type of award for that or write a book to boast of your skills an hope others can follow your lead. You know it took me less time to care about his affiliation than it took you to dig for it.

Who said I was annoyed, I found it comical that anyone would be so concerned about party affiliation of a city mayor. That’s been my major point. I could care less what party a local mayor is from. How they choose to vote nationally doesn’t concern me but what they do locally does. He’s not my mayor so I don’t care what he did.

Do you have anything from this decade that would make it relevant? Maybe that’s why it is hush hush, no one in this decade cares except those who wish to bring up past issues that have no relevancy anymore. Sex scandals by republicans on the national scene seem to occur with more frequency and in this decade but you only bring up an ancient scandal involving a democrat and feel it is relevant to today?
Well no, it's still not obvious to many in this forum - obviously - although it should be. The ones held to a higher standard are the ones that go out and actively campaign on the "Family Values" Platform. Guys that try to promote themselves as God Fearing Family Men and vote against Gay legislation. Because that is what their constituency likes.
So it is more news relevant when these "Family Men" get caught trolling for hookers or tapping their feet in a men's room.
