Ok, I dont want the thread to turn into a R vs D on who is the most disgusting, (even though I titled the thread the way I did to get attention) I found this interesting.

This Is Sick: Democrat Senator Forced To Resign, Facing Jail Over What Police Found On His Computer

During his time in the state legislature, his colleagues said they never expected he would have been involved in such behavior. In fact, Farnham was behind two bills that would make the punishment for possessing child pornography even harsher.

Notice a pattern with these things. Individuals who focus on pushing forward certain types of laws, are often found out in the end, to be conducting the very same actions they want to punish.

Good that he could face jail time for this.

And yes there is sometimes a pattern, like when an anti gay politician is caught having gay sex.

No different than CA state senator Leland Yee. He is one of the biggest gun control advocates. Yet, he has been accused of conspiracy to traffic guns among other crimes.

If it had been an R, this thread would be 20 pages long full of the same ranters and babblers carrying on about everything from homosexuals to Bible thumpers.

Since it's a D, I guess it's expected.

If you don't want it to be a political thread don't post the political party in the thread title. Someone has to start first, could have been you.

Sure cause it would have been 20 pages of conservatives and far right wingers defending the guy to no end.

We liberals are running to defend this guy.

You defended Bill Clinton after he raped Juanita Brodderick and assaulted Paula Jones.

If this is proven to be true, I hope he goes to jail for a long, long time. What a despicable human being.

Absolutely disgusting, if he is guilty he deserves to be in jail for an extremely lomg time.

I do notice that pattern, there was another example earlier this week. Congressman Michael Grimm was a former FBI fraud Investigator and was just indicted on 20 charges related to his prior business practice, including Mail and Wire Fraud.

In California you had the whole story with Leland Yee being in favor of gun control and involved in gun trafficking.

A few months ago you had Congressman Trey Randel arrested on Cocaine charges after voting for tougher drug laws.
