Why aren't David Vitter and John Ensign asked to step down?

[JimH52]

Isn't this a bit of a double standard? Where is the Republican outrage?

Why don't you start a focus group and force Vitter to step down, Ensign is already gone.

Why aren't you asking for Clinton to be "expostfacto" impeached and removed from office?

His behavior was worse than Vitter's and occurred during the same era.

Ensign only left because he was going to be forced out. What he did was highly illegal, not just embarrassing.

What Vitter did was also illegal in both parts of the country he was in. Only he was re-elected because Republicans have no shame. No one expects Republicans to be honest or actually work for the middle class. Sex scandals and hypocrisy are expected from the Republican Party. The Democrats have standards. Republicans only say they do, but not even them believe it.

Party affiliation means little when it comes to being exceptionaly stupid.

Larry Craig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On August 27, 2007, the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that Craig had been arrested for lewd conduct in the men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11, 2007, and entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct on August 8, 2007.[7] Despite firmly stating that he was not gay and never has been gay, Craig announced his intention to resign from the Senate at a news conference on September 1, 2007, but later decided to finish the remainder of his term.

Weiner needs to stay. He represents. He's golden. A freaky looking weirdo with a sexting problem so out of control that he needs to go to rehab? He's a gift. The longer he stays the more he gives.

If we're discussing old news...might as well go way back.

boedicca's catty thread got bumped for two weeks yet she hasn't called for either Vitter (R) or Ensign (R), two people who actually broke laws, to step down

Visiting hooker is OK and means you can stay, like Vitter
Alas, this is not the case when you show lewd pics on Twitter

Because they did not lie to Obama? In case you missed the news recently, most of the people calling on Weiner to resign are Democrats.

Committing perjury is illegal.

In his Paula Jones deposition, he swore, "I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. I've never had an affair with her."[8] Months later, Clinton admitted that his relationship with Lewinsky was "wrong" and "not appropriate." Lewinsky engaged in oral sex with Clinton several times.[9][10]

So is Committing Perjury Before a Federal Grand Jury. in fact one could argue that committing Perjury and Obstructing Justice when you are infact the President and Highest law enforcement official in the land. Is 1000 Times worse and more illegal than Visiting a fucking Prostitute.

And Newt Gingritch is running for President again. Newt "I cheated on my cancer-stricken wife while going after the sitting President for his own sexual scandal" Gingritch.

But that's because he loved his country too much. Bull fuckin' shit.

Myth: Clinton committed perjury




Argument

Many believe that Clinton committed perjury – that is, he lied under oath – during the Paula Jones deposition (January 17, 1998) and the Grand Jury (August 17, 1998). However, the term "perjury" has been thrown around so loosely that it is important to go over its definition.

Perjury occurs when a person takes an oath to tell the truth and then says something he knows to be false. The mere existence of error in someone’s testimony is not enough to prove perjury. The government must prove that the person intended to lie, rather than he was simply mistaken or confused over the facts. The law requires either another witness or some other evidence that supports the accusation of lying under oath. Furthermore, not all lying under oath is perjury. The lie must be material – that is, important or relevant to the case. A murder suspect who falsely testifies that he ate cereal in jail that morning cannot be prosecuted for perjury over that irrelevant lie. (1)

Now I need to hear the outrage from the Republicans about Vitter? Or is he gone already?

And if Clinton ran again, he would win in a Landslide!

"We the People" need to unite as Americans and put party aside and Vote all politicians out of office and never let any politician have more than one term in office because the longer they stay in office the more corrupt they become. VOTE THEM ALL OUT! Let's give America a breath of fresh air. Only then will we have a chance on getting America back on track.
