Republican Rep. Phillip Hinkle in a bigger scandal than Anthony Weiner.

[LJ_Reloaded]

He offered to pay for sex with a dude.

Any Republicans planning on demanding that he resign?

Well?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Novel excuse though!

"I don't know what I was thinking!"

Well?

Nah, conservatives have selective outrage... not to mention that most of them are in the closet too, so they can feel Hinkle's pain...

Wait a second... that's not his pain!

 

[freefall32]

If he did it he should resign. The only way to clean up the cesspool of Congress is to apply the same rules to everyone.

 

[fuckwaffle]

So just because he's a "free-spirit" and a Republican he shouldn't be held to the same standard. Is that what you are trying to get someone to say?

Actually, I think they should all be thrown in jail, no matter the political affiliation, but that's just me.

 

[mercury14]

Nah, Vitter got busted fucking hookers behind his wife's back for years. Conservatives rushed out to re-elect him. They don't give a shit about morality, only political opportunity in for the form of feigned outrage.

The crap John Ensign pulled? Republicans have no comment.

 

[tinylittlegnat]

I dont care who you stick your dick in as long as its consensual.

However dont be a fucking hypocrite.

 

[Spacefender]

Conservatives rushed out to re-elect him.

Liberals sent Ted Kennedy to the Senate for how long?

Ted fucked woman behind his wife's back. Vitter paid for sex. That's illegal. He broke the law. Ted did not. They're not the same thing.

Also, Vitter campaigned on a family values platform while buying sex. That's not the same thing as a politician campaigning on a civil rights platform while having flings.

That little thing about leaving a woman to drown in his car was NOT against the law. That's why Ted named his book "Moral Compass."

Well?

An Indiana state representative? What did he do, come up behind you, get on his knees and whisper "Who's your daddy?" in your ear?

really , dude .
we weren't really outraged over Clinton . It was all feigned . You have such keen insight about the Right . you should work to get Obama reelected canvassing neighborhoods .

Were you outraged at Mark Foley? Ted Haggard? Larry "wide stance" Craig?

Yes, it was all feigned... you could care less about sexual impropriety, otherwise, you wouldn't be a republican.

Wasn't talking about that.

A bit more serious of an incident than paying for a hooker I'd say. Not surprising that Chappaquiddick seems to be stricken from liberal memory. It is a difficult name to spell after all.

Oh, you were saying something about conservative outrage and memory being selective? Please do go on.

you on the left have such low morals and excuse away bad behavior habitually that we're taking that page from your playbook now . deal with it .

no . the outrage over Clinton was not feigned . wait till Drudge has a flashing police light on his page with the banner headline screaming " Lewinsky DEAD : Suicide "
Blowing Clinton fucked her for life . Does Clinton give a fuck ? Fuck no . He's fucking some other skank's mouth as we speak .

 

[Spacefender]

Larry "wide stance" Craig?

Apparently you missed the part where the GOP tossed Craig under the bus, ran him over and then backed up over the body a few times just to make sure.

http://www.trentonian.com/articles/2011/08/23/news/doc4e52deec8087e731912769.txt

This guy didn't hire hookers, get some toilet paper stuck to his shoe or anything. Hell, he didn't even drive one of his campaign staffers into the drink. He was forced to resign by the GOP because of something his wife did.

The very premise of this thread is a farce.

A state rep. from Indiana. Is that the best you can do LT?

Do you think it was unfair of the media to publicize his wife's comments?

 

[Spacefender]

Do you think it was unfair of the media to publicize his wife's comments?

Not particularly. I do question whether forcing him to quit politics over something his wife did is totally fair but when you enter politics you enter knowing that any stupid mistake can cost you your career. His wife should have known better. It was a dumb thing to do and cost her husband his job. Those are the breaks. Next time maybe she'll think twice before hitting the 'send' button.

 

[Cade Is Here]

Wow this is strange... Why is it that there is no info anywhere on this..

are you lying again?

How serious is leaving the scene of an accident in the 60's... versus patronizing a prostitute recently? Now multiply that by every prostitute Vitter fucked. Each incident is a separate crime.

Oh, does the seriousness of someone's death have an expiration date? I hadn't been informed.

 

[mercury14]

Oh was Ted Kennedy charged with killing someone?

Regardless, this isn't a discussion about who did the worst thing. It's about hypocrisy. The Republican party sweeping Vitter's extramarital hooker fucking and law breaking under the rug, then turning around and being UTTERLY OUTRAGED when Weiner sexted, are unbearable hypocrites.

 

[Spacefender]

Oh was Ted Kennedy charged with killing someone?

I think you know the answer to that. However, after leaving the scene he didn't notify authorities of the accident for around 9 hours. But apparently since he wasn't arrested he didn't do anything wrong.

If this were a Republican politician you'd be demanding jail time. See, this where you could be honest and reasonable and admit that hypocrisy is something that happens on all sides.

Expecting honesty and reasonableness here. I must be fucking dumb.

You completely avoided the point... just like you completely avoided getting Luke fired.
