Joe,
why is having an adulterous affair 'consensual sex' and 'none of the public's business' .... when a Democrat is involved; yet, it is enough to demonize and drive a man from office or running for office when it involves (without proof) a Republican?
When Slick Willey was caught having an adulterous affair...and lying his ass off about it...Liberals argued, as you did, that it was 'consensual', 'none of the public's business', and that neither it nor the lies he told about it to the world / American people diminished his ability to be President (except for that lack of morals, ethics, him proving he can lie his ass off like a pro without blinking, etc...)
When Herman Cain was running for President the Left launched another despicable 'politics of personal destruction' campaign against him - they had women coming out of the woodwork accusing him of sexual 'misconduct'. Suddenly the same exact behavior DID matter and was grounds for him being eliminated as a candidate. (After he and his wife agreed they didn't want to put up with the despicable BS and he pulled out suddenly those women disappeared and the media suddenly treated his name like 'Lord Voldemort' in the Harry Potter series - his name was never mentioned again.
So why is it, exactly, that having affairs, sexually harassing, raping women, sending pictures of your Weiner to women...these are almost 'badges of honor' in all but the most extreme circumstances (it seems) for Liberals, who get a pass for such deplorable deviant behavior, but they demand that not be the same case for Republicans (with whom they have proven, if they can't find such behavior they simply make it up)?
Lil' Teddy Kennedy left a woman to die at the bottom of a water-filled ditch, running back home - abandoning her to die, just to protect the Kennedy name and his personal political future....no big deal. After all, he was a Kennedy and a Democrat.
Slick Willey: Pathological liar, career sexual deviant who sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, raped, and engaged in adulterous affairs his entire life....with his 'loving, devoted' wife right beside him 'sicking' private investigators on his female victims while she bullied, intimidated, and threatened them into silence to protect the Clinton 'Empire' and HER chance to be President...
John 'The Breck Girl' Edwards was cheating on his wife as she fought cancer...yeah, there's a real winner, huh ladies?!
Al Gore couldn't keep it in his pants around other women, either, and he and Tipper were divorced due to his infidelity (w/Laurie David).
Anthony Weiner just couldn't keep it in his pants - he couldn't keep it off the INTERNET!
Democrats want to be rock starts in the public eye, going for the highest most visible positions they can get then squeal about how their sexual deviancy and 'mis-steps' are no one else's business....but like jackals, they go after any Republican engaging gin the same activity (which I actually have no problem with - just judge 'em all the same').
It's just the double-standards and hypocrisy the Liberals engage in that is pathetic. Glass Houses and throwing stones, you know....and most Liberals don't have 1 window in their 'house' NOT broken.....
