As long as your party calls itself the "family values" party, and yet people like Newt Gingrich, serial cheater and wife dumper, are prominent in it, you're really the hypocrisy party. Bill the Big Dawg might be a scumbag, but at least he doesn't behave like a scumbag in private while publicly telling other people how to live their lives like you guys do.

I can't believe I have to explain this to you people. Do you really not understand the definition of "hypocrisy"?
Can you please show us where the person in question ran as a "family values" politician? The left loves to pull that family values BS out any time something like this happens but I've seen very few people actually run on a family values platform.

This time it's a Nebraska lt. governor that made around 2,000 calls to adult sex lines on his state issued phone. It's likely that these calls were made on taxpayer dime.

The Lt. governor has since resigned.

Tempest, we are still waiting for your proof to back up the sex line assertion.

Is this story worse than what is developing with US Senator from NJ, Bob Menendez, a Democrat? At the minimum he took trips on a private jet owned by a big donor. At worst these trips included prostitutes. This story is still developing.

Your attempt to make this a political party issue is pathetic. Politicians of both parties are corrupt, cheat on their spouses, and regularly show just how crappy they are.

Rep. Weiner? Elliott Spitzer?

Thank you! You can't run on being the party of 'Morality" and 'Family Values" and then not expect to be called out for it when you are actually anything BUT.

You can't be a Republican Senator preaching "Pro Life' only to have it become known that you encouraged your girlfriend to have an abortion. This would be a little less newsworthy if you weren't out there proclaiming you morality all day long.

Newt was one of the ringleaders in pointing fingers at Bill Clinton - only to find that - he was doing the same damn thing!

What's funny as hell is that right wingnuts are the ones that declared themselves moral, that pretended for a looong time that they're holy, that point fingers when a lefty is committing adultery, right wingnuts and their preachers being loud proclaiming lefties to be "sinners."


HOWEVER, things sure changed, didn't they?

Now every time a right winger is found to be a pedophile or an adulterer, or behaving in a sexually deranged way, it's now landing online and in the news. Lefties decided that if the right wingnuts consider themselves the moral ones, they're going to be nice and exposed every single time they prove themselves to be quite the opposite, and that isn't going to change, so enjoy yourself having your beloved comrades exposed!


And you know, I think that people who go around saying they're moral, are probably THE most amoral, or immoral individuals around. I'd put money on that.

The biggest mistake was using the "company" phone for what appears to be non-official business.

[i frankly don't care who he was calling or the content of the conversations]

So lefties don't take the moral high ground when it comes to marriage, peodophilia or sexual derangement? Why not?

So they don't appear judgemental? That's ridiculous.

I don't know ANY conservatives who condone deviant, immoral behavior and I know plenty of them.
