When did the democrats become so moral about the Republican VP, what about Bill Clinton, Edwards and Kennedy?

Question

Now those are just three of the democrats best, when did they become so moral, they have never been before, are they not the reason we have Police?

Answer 1

What about Clinton or Kennedy? - were they preaching "Just Say No"?  I don't think so - but sleazoid republicans sure have - for 30 long years since miserable old Nancy Reagan came up with it.  

The republican solution:  You take the stupidest thing you can think of ("Just Say No") and you make that your national policy.  

And now running for VP is the physical proof of how good this "Just Say No" really works - and it points up the hypocrisy of the right wing so nicely.

I like the story.  

Answer 2

It's not the Democrats trying to use the "family values" card.  This just shows the hypocrisy of those who do.

Answer 3

This is what's called Sour Grapes.

The problem is that the American public as a whole are pretty ignorant, and unless they see it on Fox News or CNN, they don't know anything about it.  

That's how someone like Newt Gingrich can go on national television and talk about Morality in the US and go after Clinton for getting a BJ, when he was having an affair on his second wife.  To make matters worse, it wasn't his first affair.  He had an affair with his first wife with the woman he later married as his second wife.  He was also nice enough to tell his first wife about the affair while she was in the hospital undergoing chemo for cancer.  He later divorced his second wife, who used to be a intern, for his third wife, who also happened to be an intern.  And this is all stuff Gingrich admitted to.  How's that for morality?

Then there's the current wanna-be pres, McCain, who also admitted to being a man-w***e during his first marriage.  Like Gingrich, he later married one of the outstanding women he was cheating on his wife with.  

You have to ask yourself not only what kind of woman would have an affair with a married man, but you also have to ask yourself what kind of woman would marry a man who was cheating on his previous wife to begin with?!

And the list doesn't stop there.  

There's David Vittner, junior Senator from Louisiana, became one of the few high-profile politicians to be implicated as a client of "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey; Matthew Joseph Elliott, former aide to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, was convicted of sexual exploitation of a child; Vito Fossella, the only Republican member of Congress from New York City, admitted to police to having a child out-of-wedlock when stopped for drunk driving; John David Roy Atchison, a Republican prosecutor, was arrested for soliciting s*x from a 5-year old girl, then killed himself three weeks later, just to name a few.

Then there's Mark Foley, Republican Representative, Florida Sixteenth Congressional District. Resigned after trying to solicit s*x from male congressional pages via an instant messenger program. The conversations included his asking a sixteen-year-old "stud" whether his p***s was erect and requesting that he take out and measure his p***s. The cover-up involved Republican House Majority Leader John Boehner, Ohio Eighth Congressional District and Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Illinois Fourteenth District.

The list goes on and on.  

And now the Republicans are upset because VP wanna-be Palin has a 17 year old daughter who apparently isn't smart enough to know about birth control and is now 5 months pregnant and they're afraid of the backlash.  Well, they should be.  As time goes on, it seems that more and more Republicans, who don't waste any time telling the American people and the world what's moral and what isn't, and then do the opposite behind closed doors.

How does that saying go?  "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"?

Answer 4

You forgot McCain he had multiple affairs too.

Answer 5

The democrats are the biggest hypocrites out there!

Answer 6

When are republicans going to actually walk the walk for all their talk about family values?

Obama is the only candidate for president who hasn't had an affair.

Answer 7

We didn't claim to be the morality police, and try to take the country back to Puritan Days while having at least as many politicians having affairs, seeing hookers, or cruising men's rooms.

It's the hypocrisy.  The double standard. You'll see these words a lot in the near future.

Answer 8

Are the Democrats the "Family Values" party, preaching morality to everyone and talking about "abstinence-only"? Hypocrites will always get slammed harder.  

Answer 9

The GOP make "family values" the cornerstone of their platform, so it's no surprise that Democrats and Independents take delight in highlighting their hypocrisy.  

Answer 10

All married once to my knowledge - unlike most Republicans for some reason.

Answer 11

No kidding..  what about Obmaa himself with this racist wife and his 20 years apparently sleeping in a racist church.

What harms America more.. A president with a racist past.. or a young pregnant teen daughter of  the Vice President.

How stupid we Americans really are!

Answer 12

Bill Clinton, Edwards and Kennedy didn't run for office on family/moral values.  See the difference?  Practice what you preach.  

Answer 13

Larry Craig, reverend Haggard and Jim Bakker told them to be.

Answer 14

Because the GOP is the party of the so-called moral majority.  It is always funny when the people who spew all the platitudes are the ones who have the knocked up daughters or like to take a wide stance in the men's room.

Answer 15

We call out hypocrites, there's a difference.  If clinton made anti-adultry one of his platforms then we would have been much harder on him.

Answer 16

We are talking about this election, I was a misguided person like you are right now. I bought the RNC agenda lock-stock-barrel.  Palin needs to really sit down and talk with her daughter and forget about this election. I would rather have a very successful well rounded family than to become CEO of the country.

Answer 17

Excellent point...star for you.

Their double standard knows no boundaries.

For all of you hiding behind the arguement that Reps are the party of family values...you are right...they are.

Her daughter got pregnant, the FAMILY is coming together to VALUE the child and support the future mother, who will wed the father, and create a new VALUABLE FAMILY.

Answer 18

  Its called karma.  God is teacing the republicans they should throw stones.  Republicans started the mudslinging after McCain said he wouldn't and now its all coming back to him.

Answer 19

Come on, when you set yourself as self-righteous, it's easier to call you out on your bullshit. Dem's don't tend to do that, therefore it's harder to call them out on anything. It's that simple.

Answer 20

Democrats don't claim to have a monopoly on morality the way the republican conservatives do.  It borders on arrogance.  Democrats acknowledge that all human beings are fallible.  Conservatives say that only democrats are fallible and immoral.

Answer 21

They're all pretty upset that the daughter neither lied repeatedly about the pregnancy, nor did she run out immediately to have the child aborted.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

"It depends on what your definition of 'is' is"

"My wife has breast cancer....so I'm boinking anything with a pulse. I mean, when I walk into a room, the damned fish better stop swimmin' in the tank, brother..."

"Uh...Marilyn? Could you, uh, roll over a bit...I need to talk to Bobby."

Answer 22

moral about her ?  she's the one that is supposed to have the morals.  

i don't care much about her personally or how she lives.

my criticism against palin is that her own stand against s*x education and birth control.  her teenage daughter is now a victim of her mother's religious politics.

bill clinton's platform had nothing to do with bj's or cigars.  

Answer 23

yeah, and I thought obama said the candidates families are not to be talked about.

yahoo for 2 days now has been swamped with this conspiracy c**p now from obamas bots.

this is totally disgusting and I was a democrat for 49 years. I am DONE!!!!!!!

I will never ever call myself one of these sick people.

praying for a hurricane to wipe out thousands of homes and people, picking on some young girl, talking about a baby being palins daughter. wow!!

this is the type of change to expect from obama and his followers?

I PRAY they have this all come back on them.

I PRAY THEY loose their homes due to a catastrophe!

Answer 24

Agreed...but what about Nixon, Eisenhower, .. men (and women) from every race, creed, political affiliation are all the same...HUMAN

Answer 25

Sit back and enjoy watching this backfire on the Democrats.

They are going to scream "Hypocrisy!!!!"  and  "Party of Family Values!!!"

Guess what?

The Dems s***w up again.  They are soooo out of touch it hurts.

It's OK for their Hollwywood stars to have babies and never get marries.

All the baby-mommas who quit school and go on public assistance.

The pro-choice woman who think the ONLY worthwhile choice is abortion.

What they miss is REALITY.

Out there in in Middle America, lots of 17-year-old girls get pregnant.

They don't abort their babies.

Their families support them.

A lot of them get married.

Some of them put the baby up for adoption.

It breaks a lot of hearts.

I personally know 3 girls like this now.

All the parents were voting for McCain anyway.

Do you have any idea how pissed those people are going to be when the Democrats and Obama supporters make a deal out of this?

If they start making fun of this girl?

This could be THEIR daughter.

Middle America is going to rally around the Palin family.

This is NOT about morality.

It about kindness.

The elitist Democrats are completely out of touch with ordinary Americans.

They don't know any of them and don't like those "bitter" bigots "clinging" to their guns and bibles.

"Their trashy daughters should stop breeding.

We've got too many of those goddamned rednecks in America anyway.

We need more abortions."  

Answer 26

There are hypocrites on both sides.  Palin's main thing is anti-abortion, which she hasn't had done.  And as for the s*x thing; what about the Democratic ads with the girl saying "I only sleep with Democrats."  That was a new all time low in American politics.

Answer 27

its called double standards...liberals feel their kind can do no wrong.  its ok slick willy was getting bj's in the oval office,  its ok that ted kennedy killed mary jo, its ok that edwards is banging some broad while his wife is dying of cancer, its ok that jfk slept with any female with a pulse...its not ok if the vp's daughter is a L*****n or if the potential vp has a 17 year old daughter thats pregnant.

Answer 28

I don't understand this insipid question. What do you want to know, anyway?

Answer 29

I don't think it's about morality. It's about how the media and the Republican pundits are hypocrites. They tout family values and criticize Michelle Obama as a Baby Mama. Now it turns out Palin's daughter is the baby mama.

Palin is a distraction from the dismal state of our economy and our failed foreign policy.

We shouldn't judge a candidate by their families. But, if the Republican makes an issue of family values, then they can't try to turn off the family spotlight from their own candidates.

Answer 30

Hey , we have Clinton, Edwards and Kennedy that is true but don,t ever forget the Republican religous moral folks have Mark Foley and Senator Craig.  

Answer 31

dems have never claimed to be moral.

thats always been our thing as conservatives.
