Since when do LIBERALS have the moral high ground or room to talk? ?

Question

Clinton gets impeached over Monica.......John Edwards cheats on his wife and fathers a love child........Ted Kennedy gets drunk and kills a girlfriend in a car accident.........and LIBERALS have the nerve to get on McCain's case for his 2nd wife Cindi McCain? Seriously?

Answer 1

clinton had an out of wed lock baby to. at least Johns and Cindys kids was born after they got marred!

Answer 2

How about republican pedophiles and g**s ? That is , of course a high moral ground by republican standards. What a hypocritical pricks...

Answer 3

Oh ok this makes complete sense to me now.  

Clinton's getting a BJ from Monica, Edwards cheats on his wife, Ted Kennedy gets drunk and kills some chick in a car accident...

Hmmm let's see when do liberals have the room to talk sh*t??  

Probably because Mrs. McCain married a guy who plans on killing 500,000 more innocent civilians in the Middle East.  Be careful what you ask, because usually it backfires twice as bad especially on conservative idiots.

Answer 4

If the shoe fits...?

Answer 5

Because we aren't the ones drinking the kool-aid...Peace!

Answer 6

Since NEVER!!

Answer 7

You right, it always amazes me to see liberals on YA! ride in on their high horse whenever a Republican does something shady...  of course you see plenty of Republicans doing the same things...  it's generally and bad idea to generalize a whole group of people...

WHAT NOW???!?

Answer 9

Drew, please get a clue. Do you need to me list of all the Republican s*x scandals that took place in the last 10 years?

Mark Foley, Larry Craig, David Vitter, Robert McKee, Donald Fleishchman, Scott Muschany, John Atchison, Peter Wong, and Wilton Fredrick, were Republicans who were caught either, soliciting s*x, committing adultery, attempting to molest children, and so on. Liberals have every right to criticize the hypocrisy in the Republican party.

Answer 10

While I agree with the point you're making, I think its one of the very few things that libs can find to try and cast doubt on McCain - even though this argument has no merit since he didn't even meet his current wife until many months after being separated from his first wife.

Answer 11

Pretty much since the Age of Enlightenment.

Answer 12

Mark Foley

David Vitter

Larry Craig

That's why.  

It isn't illegal to cheat on your wife.  It is illegal to solicit s*x in a mens room or send disgusting emails to male congressional UNDERAGE Paige's.  

And Dems don't claim the moral highground.  Republicans do.

Answer 13

Since the 1770's.

McCain Clinton Edwards and Gingrich are all adulterers.

It is not exclusive to a single party. It is odd all the complaining from McCain supporters who constantly bring up Monica though.

Answer 14

The Dems are not downplaying the inappropriate behaviour of their men, only calling attention to the fact that the Reps really have nothing to bragg about with their man.

Answer 15

neither party has any moral high ground.

Larry craig was soliciting BJ's in an airport bathroom, and then paled guilty to "get it over with".  He's married right? How about the Florida congressman who was sleeping with one of his male aides...

Answer 16

Republicans are the ones claiming to have the moral high ground.  

Answer 17

In my opinion...

Conservatives set themselves up for this.  They have taken on the mantle of the beacons of family values.  Often to do this they point out the foibles of Liberals/Democrats.  Unfortunately, they are often guilty of the same moral flaws.

Now while this in NO WAY absolves Liberals/Democrats, it puts Conservatives/Republicans in an untenable position.  They have already condemned their opponents for these transgressions.  If they don't come down on their own, they are hypocrites.  And actually, because they put themselves on a higher pedastal, they have farther to fall.

No, Liberals may not have the moral high ground, but Conservatives should not engage in moral arguments until they have cleaned out their closet.

Answer 18

You are forgetting one important thing:

Number One Major qualification

to call your self a Liberal:

You have to believe in double standards.

One for others and one for the elite liberals.

Answer 19

Both sides have enough trash to fill a trailer and both sides bash the other over it.  Makes both sides hypocritical in my eyes.  As are the supporters that do the same thing.  

Answer 20

Yep, they're serious.  It's politics.  You need a cup and a mouthpiece even if you're just watching.  It's like a European fuutball match.  There's more injuries in the stands than there are on the field.

Answer 21

Please read McCain's autobiography, hes admitted to two affairs,and he cheated on his first wife.

For that matter the moral high ground traditionally declared to be Republican, mostly by Republicans, has eroded since Foley, Craig, Vitter, Gingrich, and that man who was Speaker for a day but had to leave because of his affair. Not to mention Rudy on wife number three, who kicked his wife and kids out to bring in his girlfriend, and in the mayoral mansion no less.

Seriously, they all seem to have s*x lives, we are either going to have to discount the mistresses, or elect eunuchs.

Answer 22

wow.get a grip.there is a reason why the conservatives are called cons.
