Yes, WE THE PEOPLE have become WE THE SLAVE - YOU THE MASTER. ::SPIT::

Well bless his heart and soul!

j/k - this is what one of our pastor friends says to say when another Christian does something totally beyond the pale.

Pointed, tao - and so true - if TMBG means what I believe it may mean.

For a more complete list:

"REP. JOHN HINSON (D-Miss.):
On Aug. 8, 1980, during his first reelection bid, Hinson stunned everyone by announcing that in 1976 he had been accused of committing an obscene act at a gay haunt in Virginia. Hinson, married and a strong conservative, added that in 1977 he had survived a fire in a gay D.C. movie theater. He was making the disclosure, he said, because he needed to clear his conscience. But he denied he was a homosexual and refused GOP demands that he resign. Hinson won reelection in a three-way race, with 39 percent of the vote. But three months later, he was arrested on charges of attempted oral sodomy in the restroom of a House office building. He resigned his seat on April 13, 1981.

REP. ROBERT BAUMAN (D-Md.):
On Oct. 3, 1980, Bauman, a leading "pro-family" conservative, pleaded innocent to a charge that he committed oral sodomy on a teenage boy in Washington. Married and the father of four, Bauman conceded that he had been an alcoholic but had been seeking treatment. The news came as a shock to voters of the rural, conservative district, and he lost to a Democrat in November.

REP. DAN CRANE (R-Ill.) and REP. GERRY STUDDS (D-Mass.):
The House ethics committee on July 14, 1983, announced that Crane and Studds had sexual relationships with teenage congressional pages -- Crane with a 17-year-old female in 1980, Studds with a 17-year-old male in 1973. Both admitted the charges that same day, and Studds acknowledged he was gay. The committee voted to reprimand the two, but a back-bench Georgia Republican named Newt Gingrich argued that they should be expelled. The full House voted on July 20 instead to censure the two, the first time that ever happened for sexual misconduct. Crane, married and the father of six, was tearful in his apology to the House, while Studds refused to apologize. Crane's conservative district voted him out in 1984, while the voters in Studds's more liberal district were more forgiving. Studds won reelection in 1984 with 56 percent of the vote, and continued to win until he retired in 1996."

"The only difference it seems is that Republicans throw out their perverts...democRats re-elect theirs.

REP. JOHN YOUNG (D-Tex.):
On June 11, 1976, Colleen Gardner, a former staff secretary to Young, told the New York Times that Young increased her salary after she gave in to his sexual advances. In November, Young, who had run unopposed in the safe Democratic district five consecutive times, w More..as reelected with just 61 percent of the vote. The scandal wouldn't go away, and in 1978 Young was defeated in a Democratic primary runoff.

REP. ALLAN HOWE (D-Utah):
On June 13, 1976, Howe was arrested in Salt Lake City on charges of soliciting two policewomen posing as prostitutes. Howe insisted he was set up and refused to resign. But the Democratic Party distanced itself from his candidacy and he was trounced by his Republican opponent in the November election.

REP. FRED RICHMOND (D-N.Y.):
In April 1978, Richmond was arrested in Washington for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old boy. Richmond apologized for his actions, conceding he "made bad judgments involving my private life." In spite of a Democratic primary opponent's attempts to cash in on the headlines, Richmond easily won renomination and reelection. But his career came to an end four years later when, after pleading guilty to possession of marijuana and tax evasion - and amid allegations that he had his staff procure cocaine for him -- he resigned his seat."

That's rich, danforth - it is your side here who vilifies conservative gays on a regular basis! We both know who the haters truly are. Keep denying it.

Freud would go mad trying to figure congress out!

Dictatorships and double standards:

I wish I were a member of the republican party so they COULD throw me out!

Yes, this will mean either the rise of or downfall of the party in charge at the moment. The rise if they make themselves the party for life...Baby Doc Demoncrats!

Larry - think about it - by not of this nation I mean he's playing both sides of the fence - didn't blame anybody - he should have chosen his words more carefully.

I could almost start liking him if he wasn't such a poseur.

Islamic terrorists always shout this right before or during their attacks. Nothing to see here...

#21 | Posted by rcade - Where are they? Are they stepping up to the plate to denounce this?

Yeah, Andy - perhaps he could read "The Pet Goat" to him?

THANK YOU MOUNTAIN_MANO!

No surprise here. Why should he celebrate something that appears to be so appetizing to him and his cronies?

Anything for you, Jerry.

Thank u L

p.s. - I want what the families will no doubt want - JUSTICE!

Y'all soak it up and spray it all over the place when you believe a "fundy" has killed an abortion doctor - portrait in hypocrisy.

I'm just trying to connect all the dots.

It is common practice to have a transition team at the end of a presidency - who chooses it and on what basis?

Lisa - every time you disagree with something I say you imply "how sad" it is - please get a new adjective. If it were up to the lot of you from #4 post up, you'd slap this guy on the wrist and have him released - now that's sad.
