Republican Morality

OPne of the truest signs of being a staunch, conservative Republican is your public abhorrance of anything sexual while privately participating in the same or more debasede sexual deviance.

Prime examples

Newt Gingrinch

And Now........ Mark Foley, who was one of the leaders of the impeach Clinton movement and who wrote most of the legislation against internet predators while he was the proverbial "fox (news) in the henhouse".

Political dogma on either side belies common sense.

What's worst is that these guys claim to be the party of family values. Jesus warned us against their type always talking about god and morals but delight in evil.

So its better to be the party of no values, so nobody holds you to a standard...I see.

Please quit w/ the strawman questions....what's happening to the GOP is what's happening to Bush all bullsh#t will evenually come to light. Since you're always telling others to read Bob Woodward books, have you read his last book State of Denial?

shinerbock · #6 10-03-2006, 12:47 PM

You mean the one where the White House stopped giving him access because they were concerned he was taking a slanted view? Nah, I haven't read it yet. I'll probably just read Michael Moore's blog, its about the same thing.

AXEAM · #7 10-03-2006, 12:53 PM

More of your BS....first you agree w/ what he saids then when he holds Bush's feet to the fire you come up w/ crap like this.

shinerbock · #8 10-03-2006, 01:03 PM

You mean I respect his first non-partisan book in which he was given access to the administration? Yeah, I do.

Now he writes one that is blatantly anti-administration, and one that was written with a gaping lack of primary sources, so yeah, I do question this one.

Regarding the topic of this thread, I fail to see how Democrats are really the beacon of morality in this country. Maybe I'd understand if I happened to find $100,000 in my freezer.

Most Americans would rather money in the freezer then a congressman who claims to be against child molestation trying to seduce a little boy.....I notice not once in this thread did you say Mark Foley was wrong, your only response was to attack Dems and deflect attention away from the real issue.

shinerbock · #10 10-03-2006, 01:15 PM

Mark Foley is wrong. Its disgusting, I hope he goes to prison. I don't care if he's a Republican or not. My point is that when something like this happened, the immediate response on from the thread starter was to attack Republicans in general.

That's not true when the Dems (F)up again..and I'm sure one will..you can bet a thread would be started about it.

Well theres a difference between a thread being started, and one being started naming all democrats as morally corrupt. However, you can be assured I won't be starting a thread labeling all Dems as a certain way.

Like I said b/f I don't vote just one party I vote for the best canidate. In South Carolina there have been (3) real good Governors (since I've live there) two GOP and 1 Dem. The last Gop guy got screwed b/c he took the rebel flag from atop the sate house and the Dem got screw b/c he was a Dem in South Carolina. I have a dislike for Bush b/c of the dirty political tricks he pulled on John McCain (GOP) in the South Carolina ads and phone calls where they questioned his military back ground and his mental state.

As far as I know none of these "offenders" cloak themselves with the mantle of Family Values and used this as a political strategy. We are al sinners but it's very precarious being a demagogue on these issues because we humans do have our weaknesses and they will be exposed, sadly to say.

The biggest sin I see the Republicans being a part of is the one that tripped up Satan: actually believing the hype that you are better than the Godless, libertine, anti-American Democrats. If you convince yourself of this then you'll be blinded by pride and slip into all kinds of unethical and immoral behaviour,justifying it on the grounds of the morality of your cause, God's cause. If you're a Christian and take the Bible seriously, and not simply for use as political slogans, then you know that we are all fallen beings, whatever political persuasion we may be. And if we put ourselves in the place of playing God, we'll be humbled. This is what I see happening to the GOP now. "Pride goeth before the fall."
