Any person running for national office who thinks they can hide an issue from their past is crazy.

it's not a matter of hiding it, it's to what degree you will be held accountable based on your political persuasion....

democrats may engage in nearly any form of transgression and their supporters in the public and press will overlook, excuse and defend pretty much anything...

you mentioned Nixon...he left office

wanna make a list....????

you make your list of republicans that did bad things and note how it ended for them

I'll make my list and you will see that bad behavior by dems is usually defended and then rewarded

mine is going to take a while so many reprobates, so little time

I'm not a miserable petty ideologue like you who keeps track of things like that. I think both parties are just as bad. I vote for a candidate, not a party. You just thing that I vote all dem. but it is only over the last few years when I think the rep. have swung too far right for me.

right...you are none of those

if your contention is "I think both parties are just as bad."...

prove it .... rather than hurl insults...

let's compare the Tea Party and the Occupiers while we are at it in your non-idealouge, unmiserable, not-even-a-bit-petty and very even-minded thinking approach to everything....since we are also told that both of those "parties" are both "just as bad"


Paul S. QUOTES
" That is not how RIJimmy sees it. As he repeatedly does, if he can find a video or a report of someone from the party he hates, he states it is indicitive of that whole party.

The demographics seem much different b/t the 2 groups. The teabaggers where much older folks so comparing income levels is laughable.

And the teabaggers demands can be summed up in "I don't want to pay any taxes for anything or want any of my taxes to go to support anyone less fortunate than myself"

Every newscast I have seen of the occupiers is of 20 somethings with a small mixture of older folks. The teabaggers were much, much older - and from many of the comments I saw, I would call them idiots, morans, selfish bastards, etc. HA, HA, HA"

The distinction shows up in many ways, not least in the latest police reports.

I'm just telling you how you come across. I have no need to spend time researching which party has more people that commit bad deeds - or searching what was posted in other threads - but if it makes you feel better about yourself, knock yourself out.

If you want to start a thread about the 2 parties, go ahead but stop trying to derail my thread.

Did you see how Cain is now blaming someone from Perry's campaign who use to work previously for Cain? Funny how Cain says he discussed it with him in 2003 or but earlier this week denied knowing anything about it. Maybe this will increase his donations some more?

I think "YOUR THREAD" is the one where you declared Cain a sexual harasser without any evidence

Which is why we will never see a solid candidate run for office......nobody with half a brain is going to put themselves and their families through that.
