MSNBC's Piece On Sex Scandals By Politicians - They Aren't Hurting Them Anymore........
They talked about Sandford, Ensign and Vitter and said that they are not being hurt by their sex scandals. In fact Sandford's popularity is higher now than Obama's and Ensign is saying he will run again for the Senate and Vitter is leading in his re-election bid.

The only reason that they aren't being hurt by their sex scandals is because they are Republicans. If any Dem is implicated in a sex scandal - he/she would be drummed out, impeached or otherwise ostracized.

1. They don't hurt Republicans, because they're all hypocrites.
They can talk all the crap they want about morals, but still do all manner of conduct the GOP officially condemns.

Democrats are held to a much higher standard.

2. Republicans have an infinite fogriveness for their own...
And infinite antipathy for all others.

3. Tell that to Eliot Spitzer, for one
Bill Clinton for another. Hypocritical bastids - and I'm talking about their apologists as well as the sanctimonious sacks o'shit who preach 'family values' while leading less-than-virtuous lives of their own.

4. From now on if a Democrat happens to get themselves in such
a situation, they had better just stay there and ignore
the Media just like the Republicans.
