Why the double standard with Cheney and Spitzer? Other than party, what is the difference?

I continue to be amazed that Boobus Americanus continue to believe that Dems are the party of sex scandals, but the GOP are all paragons of virtue.

When Darth Vader himself finds his phone number on the list of the D.C. Madam's customers, the MSM censors the story:

When, however, we have a Dem governor, who is otherwise an exemplary governor, the MSM has a field day.

I am not condoning those patronizing "escort services", but the rules need to be the same for all politicians, Dems and Repukes alike.

IF SPITZER HAS TO RESIGN, THAN SO DOES CHENEY!!!!!

I suspect that there is much more going on in our politics that is hidden from us. I particularly suspect that there is a good deal of sexual blackmail occurring in the political world. Those who step out of line get their careers ended, but those who play ball with BushCo are guaranteed secrecy.

Such is life in our American Empire.

:scared:

The evangelicals will turn on him if this ever comes out.

Why aren't Dems pushing to undermine the Repukes RW base?

It is all they have left now..other than the mega-corps.

:eyes:

The RW undermined their own base.

His name being on the DC Madam's list is well known.
I'm sure the evangelicals are well aware of it.

The over 50 crowd that gets its news from the MSM, still doesn't know.

in the 'untold' private lives of our elected officials, there wouldn't be anybody left to serve!

They'd all be stepping down to spend more time with their families.

We aren't talking about just marital problems here.

People go to jail for prostitution.

If people don't like those laws, then they can change them, but we can't have different standards for Dems than for Repukes.

:shrug:

:crazy:

Since no fault divorce became common, I don't think anyone has been prosecuted for adultery.

You forgot to mention that prostitution is legal in some counties in Nevada.

Maybe Spitzer was planning a trip to Vegas?

perhaps you misinterpreted my post?

Nor do I remember the orgasmic reaction in some parts of DU
