Clarence Thomas was his accused of sexual harassment was it news worthy?
when mark foley was accused of harassment and resigned was it news worthy?
Larry craig when he was accused was it newsworthy?

Were any of them convicted? If not then I guess it wasn't very newsworthy.

So none of those scandals should have been reported as news

I am saying for me, none of them were newsworthy if they didn't lead to a conviction. Maybe they were newsworthy for you.

Not if he wasn't from my state. I seem to remember a Republican senator from Louisiana that had affairs with prostitutes who happens to still be in office. And that's not the Dominican Republic...that's HERE, where it's illegal.

I don't care about him either, and neither do you. Why don't you care? Oh...because he has an R after his name.

If you do not care, why should anyone? Jerry Sandusky did not work for me but I still care that we investigate accusations like this.
I don't care. Didn't care about Sandusky either, although i'm happy that he was convicted.

Must i care about every bad thing in America? I mean, what will it change?

We do not know yet if there is evidence.

If you really didn't care you wouldn't have bothered to reply here. What you care about might be debated.

But wait, aren't Republicans the alleged "moral majority?" Those amazing bastions of morality? Those amazing, Bible-banging, 10-Commandment-waving "holy" folks who bash others such as the OP do, as if they were scrupulous and upright? Then why are Republicans out there having sex with children?

Oh, that argument again.
Republicans are hypocrites, but Democrats are expected to be perverts, so it's OK.
