Clinton's not the only sexual sleaze.

[Theophylact]

I'm (almost) ashamed for passing this on, because in general I think a person's sexual life is nobody else's business. But I'm a bit tired of people slagging Clinton's rep as a way of defending Lott, Thurmond, Ashcroft, DeLay, or anybody else whose political behavior is indecent. Soooo... because it's too good not to pass on... here's a piece on that noble Southern gentleman Strom.

Sauce for the gander.

Sue Logue, huh?

Most politicians and powerful people are like that. Its part of their lifestyle.

Trick is in not getting caught.

[Mr. Goodbytes]

Told ya you were happy about this whole thing Theo.

[Theophylact]

No, I'm not, Mr. Goodbytes. I'm just tired of all this holier-than-thou stuff.

[samwichse]

I am holier than all of thou:

Politicians are all sleaze, it's the nature of the job.

I agree that both sides have their checkered pasts, but when it comes to sleaze, Clinton is the Hitler of American sleaze. No one has done more and hurt this country. Not Arnold, not Haney, not anyone.

From a previous post of mine:

Clinton was one of the worst presidents in our nation's history. The only thing he had going for him was the economy, which he has no control over. He sold our secrets, he was a druggie, he was a draft dodger, he was a rapist, he was a abuser of women, he was a traitor. He lowered sanctions on highly technical military items so they could be sold to communists and sold the Lincoln bedroom to whomever wanted a go in it. He invited communists into the White House and took money from them for his private use and campaign use in return for preferential policy towards their country. He fraudulently used military and civilian resources for his own gain. He accepted money, sex and other favors for pardons.

And all of this without ONE MENTION of Monica Lewinsky and his blatant perjury in court and his blatant lies to the American people on national television. ...The he asked the American people to chip in for his legal fund! And you know what...SOME IDIOTS DID!!!!!

His sex life is not even mentioned. You don't even need to mention his sexual misconduct with the myriad of women because he did so much else. The only time it is mentioned is when it is coupled with a lie, violence or with sex-for-favors.

In SAT language: Hitler is to world-wide scum as Clinton is to American-scum.

And also, in the above quote, I left out that he was a murderer...

Theo,

BTW the man was a democrat at the time. That gave him the right to be a sleeze.


My question to you is, why are you not calling for the same kind of scrutiny of.

Hillary - Anti-Semite. Her words clearly show a distain for jewish people. Her loss of control is when her true face pokes out. A good old girl who sees herself and her kind as superior to the jews and who knows who else. We will need to get her mad again and hear her blast the blacks or hispanics.

Robert Byrd - Jerk and all around biggot. He spoke of white n!ggers and while context may have played into it he was obviously using the term as an example of what he considers to be a lowlife. This was not the words of a person who respects black people when he uses them as an example of what is worst in white people.

Lott - closet segregationist(maybe). His words were left to interperatation. No clear statement of his support for segregation can directly be derrived from his words. Only by analyzing 56 year old information and assuming the meaning, can you possibly come to a THEOry (not fact just THEOry). I still think it was a poorly thought out tribute. I can also see where apology is warranted as it is an easy stretch to say it is the segregationist past that which lott wanted. Personally I believe this to be illogical as he does not claim to be a segregationist and to take a stance like that would be political suicide (as will be). So the logical truth is that his mouth out ran his brain when he complimented thurmond.


The double standard is amazing to me.





Dave,

I know there are alot of wierd circumstances surrounding the clinton plague. But do you believe that he directly participated in murder? I saw clinton as many things but I resist the idea of murder. The evidence is amazingly convincing when organized by anti clinton sites. But I just can not bring myself to believe that he would order hits on people. someone needs to bring up the compiled lists of deaths associated with clinton though. That is some pretty scarry stuff even if it is all coincidence.




Had a mistakenly accused daschel of something wrong. so I corrected it above.

All politicians are like that. Only question of who gets caught.

You lie like a dog, Theo!! LOL!! You live for this stuff.

I'm of the opinion that you cannot restrict integrity to one's public life. If your private life is devoid of integrity, you should not be trusted in public.

And this idea that it only matters if you get caught is complete and utter crap.

And remember, not all politicians are bad. It's the 95% bad ones that make the other 5% look bad.

You can bring up a link that is 50+ years old and try to link it to something left unsaid. However, you can't look to the past evening or what people do in the privacy of the white house and lies specifically spoken to the american people in a venue of your own accord.
