My comment was in reply to HIS comment about "wonder why they don't mention the name of the party" (paraphrasing).
When a Republican does something really stinky like water boarding prisoners or trading drugs for arms for hostages, I don't hear my GOP friends condemning those actions. Why?
The reason I ask is because I heard many many Democrats condemn Bill Clinton for his cigar fiasco.  |
EXACTLY!
Instead, what you see is obfuscation, denial, and defense.
"A Barbara Streisand concert is torture, so torture must be in the eye of the beholder" mentality.
The "It's the criminalization of politics" junk.
And it's not just one side either. Pelosi gets up on her rant against Republican scandals and pretending its epidemic to the party, while she looks the other way on her own party's scandals.
We can easily call Pelosi on her crap.
But when FS pulls something similar ... ????

I see everything I just said was COMPLETELY ignored by you.
1) BOTH saltwn and myself gave examples.
2) I explained why it's futile to go in a "party name witch-hunt".
I think it's great that you post scandals.
But when you start making insinuations about one PARTICULAR party, you cross a line.
3) To give you something on your own level.
Republican values create child molesters
Republicans are more likely to be pedophiles.
I just proved it at your level of approach.

You've got an incredibly short memory.
I remember one thread where
I STARTED the thread criticizing Pelosi.
After several posts, you popped on trying to proclaim that I was DEFENDING Pelosi's actions and looking the other way.
I firmly hold that Clinton NEEDED to be punished for LYING to the American people. But when Bush lies by saying "we do not torture", you don't care.
Let me guess? Am I going to get a "perjury" defense for Bush, cause obviously "under oath" was Clinton's REAL problem and just SAYING the lie was fine and dandy under Republican thinking????
Your attitude and claims are absurd.
And the funny thing about this is I see NO need to start down this path with you on a pragmatic level.
There are those people who will bobble-head your mentality, cause they'll just bobble-head the Republican mentality no matter what. The people who will obfuscate and defend "torture" while trying to put forth a pretend argument that it's not torture.
And then you have the people who can view things more objectively, and I think they pretty much see the situation for what it is.
You want to talk about "MAKE EXCUSES FOR" Republicans with corruption problems? With honesty problems?
Puh-leaze!

If we went down the list, how many different ways would you excuse these actions???
